Sup Jonny
I can't see the pic b/c imgur is blocked at work, but looks good

You could see if @BamaTaco56 could help you out?

Sup Don

 

Not me for long! Gotta triple dose melatonin and get some sleep

 

Hopefully it'll work

 

Just finished washing these dove breast out we killed the past two days, you?

Glad you got it out what worked?

 

Just sitting at work. I decided on what route I'm going with the solar for the truck last night, so that's one less thing I have to think about

 

You gonna use that dual battery setup? Dooooo itttttt

 

Umm....i hooked a come-along to my highlander and prayed. Hah

 

Nah. I'm gonna stick with a single battery for the truck. K.I.S.S. and for the camp trailer, I will do a bigger/better system. I just don't think I'll have enough draw with the truck to need dual batteries. I'll either just put that Off Grid Engineering tray up or sale it. It's been in a box for months, so it's no hurry

This is the kit I'm going with. I could pay a bit less and get a 20A controller(good for 200W), but figured the 40A controller(good for 400W) was worth the extra $30

Lol hell yea I was gonna say use a bar and cheater and put it up against immovable object and use the truck in forward/reverse. I would’ve offered my impact just a long drive to use it, but it would’ve or broke it lol.

 

That seems like a sweet setup that guy has, what’s the deal with that off grid is it a dual setup or battery box r what?

It's this with some battery cables the guy added in.

Damn that’s cool if camping a lot using truck power I could see that useful? Two batteries would be $$$$$ though

 

I'll run a dual battery on the camp trailer. I just don't think I'll need one for the truck. If I find out I do, I guess I'll already have the tray and just need a ML-ACR and battery

 

@weagle22
Just an FYI. I just saw this on the JBA thread. This guy was saying he had rubbing with 6112's and stock UCA's. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.

Have a great Labor Day Everybody!

From AlabamaWX

DRY AIR REMAINS IN PLACE: Another refreshing morning for Alabama; cooler pockets are down in the 50s again. A few of the cooler spots…

Weaver 59
Cullman 59
Talladega 60
Haleyville 60
Decatur 60
Pell City 61
Scottsboro 61

The air is dry, and today will be another sunny day with fairly low humidity. The high this afternoon will be in the upper 80s for most communities; the average high for September 7 at Birmingham is 88.

REST OF THE WEEK: A rather quiet pattern continues. Tomorrow and Wednesday will be generally dry and warm with only a few isolated showers over South Alabama; the high will remain in the upper 80s. Then, we will bring in some risk of scattered showers Thursday and Friday, but nothing widespread. Days will be partly sunny, nights mostly fair.

TO THE WEST: Denver, after experiencing near record heat this weekend, will have their first winter storm of the season beginning late tonight, and continuing during the day tomorrow. Snow amounts there are expected to be in the 3-7 inch range. Record lows are possible by Wednesday morning as they ride the weather roller coaster.

Initially global models (about a week ago) showed a progressive look to the upper trough that is bringing the snow to the Rockies; this was to bring cooler air to the Deep South late this week. But, unfortunately that idea is now off the table as it looks like the ridge will hold here and the cool air will be delayed until later in the month.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: For the weekend ahead we expect a mix of sun and clouds Saturday and Sunday, with some risk of scattered showers or thunderstorms both days (no wash-out). Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s.

NEXT WEEK: Not much change; highs will remain in the 80s. Partly sunny days with the usual risk of random, scattered showers and storms on a daily basis, mostly during the afternoon and evening hours. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: Two new tropical depressions have formed in the eastern Atlantic; TD 17 and TD 18. Both are expected to gain latitude later this week, and global models suggest both systems will turn north and recurve into the open Atlantic well before getting close to the U.S. We will still keep a close eye on both of them, however.





NHC is also monitoring a trough of low pressure located just south-southwest of Bermuda that is producing disorganized cloudiness and showers. Some slow development of this system is possible this week while it moves west-northwestward, in the general direction of the North Carolina coast. For now NHC gives it only a low chance of development during the next five days.

The Gulf of Mexico remains very quiet this week, thankfully.

ON THIS DATE IN 1970: A lightning bolt struck a group of football players at Gibbs High School in St. Petersburg, FL. The lightning killed two people and injuring 22 others. All 38 players and four coaches were knocked off their feet.

ON THIS DATE IN 2004: Hurricane Ivan passed over Grenada, battering several of the Windward Islands. As it entered the Caribbean Sea, Ivan reintensified rapidly and became a Category 5 hurricane, just north of the Windward Netherlands Antilles (Curaçao and Bonaire) and Aruba on September 9, with winds reaching 160 mph. A few days later it would make landfall on the Central Gulf Coast.
