Alabama thread!

LOL im probably going to get a Mini at some point when i want to get a light. LLOD sold me on it. If he thinks they are good then id give it a try. His reviews tend to be on point with everything.

 

I honestly don't see the point of a light on a carry gun, but I want this one to look a certain way. It has nothing to do with function. This is all for the gram

 

Its easy to take on and off the only time i would use it would be for the RTT at night for when i hear a ruffle in the bushes lol.

 

I'll just have to use a headlight since none of my carry pistols have a light.............or just spray and pray








I hope people realize that last part was a joke

 

I went ahead and ordered the PL-Mini 2

BIG CHANGES AHEAD: With a clear sky, temperatures are mostly in the 30s across the northern half of Alabama this morning, with 40s over the southern counties. Today will be partly sunny with a high in the 60s; clouds will increase late in the day as a surface front near the Gulf Coast begins to lift northward. A few showers are likely late tonight across the state as the front moves through; a rumble of thunder is possible, no severe storms are expected.

Then, tomorrow, we will be close to close to record levels as temperatures soar into the mid 70s. The record high for Birmingham on December 10 is 79, set in 2007. A few scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible tomorrow, but a decent part of the day will be dry.

We will watch thunderstorm development northwest of Alabama; there is an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms around the Mid-South, including cities like Memphis. A strong tornado can’t be ruled out there during the afternoon and evening hours. This activity will evolve into a long line of strong to severe thunderstorms that will push into Alabama during the early morning hours Saturday.

SPC has defined a “slight risk” (level 2/5) as far east as Athens, Haleyville, and Millport for the early morning hours Saturday, and a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) for the rest of the state during the day.





TIMING: The line of strong to severe storms will likely enter the northwest corner of Alabama around 3:00-4:00 a.m. Saturday. The line should reach the Birmingham/Anniston/Gadsden/Tuscaloosa areas around 11:00 a.m.-12:00 noon. Then, after 12 noon the line will be south of I-20, pushing into the southern counties by mid to late afternoon.

THREATS: For Alabama, the main threat will come from strong, potentially damaging straight line winds. A few isolated tornadoes can’t be ruled out, however. Rain will be briefly heavy, but flooding is not expected.

CALL TO ACTION: Be sure you have a way of hearing severe weather warnings. Your primary source should NEVER be an outdoor siren. Have a NOAA Weather Radio in your home properly programmed with a fresh battery in case of power failure. Be sure emergency alerts are enabled on your phone. And, review your severe weather plan; identify the safe place and be sure everyone knows where it is. And, if you live in a mobile home, know where you will go in case you fall in a tornado warning polygon.

Temperatures will go the wrong way Saturday. We start the day in the 67-70 degree range, but after the line of storms temperatures will fall into the 50s with a cool northwest wind. The sky will clear Saturday night.

Sunday will be a sunny, cool day with a high in the 55-60 degree range.

NEXT WEEK: An upper ridge will build over the Gulf Coast region, and the week looks dry with mild afternoons and cool nights. Afternoon highs will be in the 60s Monday through Wednesday, and close to 70 by Thursday and Friday. And, the latest CPC outlook suggests temperatures will remain above average for the period December 16-22. Still time for a pattern change by Christmas… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 2003: Although it never threatened land, a subtropical storm became Tropical Storm Peter approx. 700 miles WNW of the Cape Verde Islands. Combined with Tropical Storm Odette from earlier in the month, this is the first time since 1887 that two tropical storms formed in the Atlantic Basin in December.

 

Slowly starting to look like a bumper sans the tube work. Made the front skid easily replaceable, but need to source some flatter bolts.

 

Looking good.

 

Looking good

 

Morning Bama!

WARM DECEMBER DAY: A warm front continues to push northward across Alabama early this morning with a few scattered showers; the sky will be generally cloudy today with a very mild afternoon. We project a high in the mid 70s… the record high for December 10 is 79 set in 2007. We will be watching developments to the northwest late this afternoon and tonight; SPC has defined an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms from the Mississippi Delta region northward into parts of Illinois and Indiana. Storms that form in that region will become severe, and a strong tornado or two can’t be ruled out.

STORMY START TO THE WEEKEND: The activity northwest of Alabama is expected to evolve into a long squall line after midnight tonight, and will move into the state early tomorrow morning. SPC has defined a “slight risk” (level 2/5) as far east as Athens, Haleyville, and Millport through 6:00 a.m… with a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) to Lake Guntersville and Tuscaloosa. Then, after 6:00 a.m…. most of Alabama is in a “marginal risk” (level 1/5).





TIMING: The line of strong to severe storms will likely enter the northwest corner of Alabama around 3:00-5:00 a.m. tomorrow. The line should reach the Birmingham/Anniston/Gadsden/Tuscaloosa areas around 11:00-noon. Then, after noon the line will move south of I-20, pushing into the southern counties by mid to late afternoon. The severe weather threat will is not as great for South Alabama as dynamic support will be weakening by then.

THREATS: For Alabama, the main threat will come from strong, potentially damaging straight line winds. A few isolated tornadoes can’t be ruled out, however. Rain will be briefly heavy, but flooding is not expected.

CALL TO ACTION: Be sure you have a way of hearing severe weather warnings. Your primary source should NEVER be an outdoor siren.

Sunday will be a sunny, cool day with a high in the 55-60 degree range.

NEXT WEEK: The week will be dry and pleasant thanks to an upper high forming over the Gulf Coast region. Highs will be in the 60s Monday through Wednesday… and close to 70 Thursday and Friday. And, the latest CPC outlook suggests temperatures will remain above average across Alabama December 17-23. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 2008: An EF-1 tornado moved through Oakman, in Walker County. The tornado touched down just west of Jackson Street on the north side of Oakman. The tornado traveled northeastward and crossed School Street and State Highway 69. The tornado lifted on Watts Street just east of State Highway 69. Metal bleachers were twisted and thrown at the Oakman School athletic field. Several houses suffered significant roof damage along State Highway 69. Approximately 150 trees were either uprooted or snapped off. Little structural damage occurred at the school, but water damage was sustained.

ON THIS DATE IN 2012: An EF-1 tornado passed just north of downtown Birmingham causing damage to 29 homes, 2 of which had major damage and one of which lost its roof entirely. A church and two other businesses were damaged near the intersection of Finley Blvd and 16th Street. The tornado lifted near the intersection of 24th Court North and 18th Street North, just west of Interstate 65.

 

Mornin fellas

 

Thanks! Trying to knock it out before Hawk Pride. If I don’t get the tube done at least I can winch off of it after I make a fairlead mount.

 

It’s all late night booger welds, but I did kick it and say “that’ll hold” so that added a lot of structural support.

 

if you do the concrete slab you gotta post a vid lol

 

What is this concrete slab in which you speak?
(Need the monocle emoji)

Ohhh snap! I’ll give that a shot

 

That is Hawk Pride's Boat Ramp

 

I bet it’s a lot steeper looking in person than in that video. Videos never do anything justice.
