Nothing like a good fire

 

Thanks for the invite

 

In my back yard. Weather is nice so we decided to build a fire. It’s gonna rain all weekend.

 

@JBTacoma saw this on Tuesday in Calara, thought you would appreciate it.

 

Until noonish on Saturday. Sunday will be really nice

 

You don't see too many that are still stock like that one. Those 26 inch tires look so small.

 

Good morning everyone

 

Good morning

 

From AlabamaWX

THE LAST FRIDAY OF 2022: Today will start off mainly dry but rain and a few embedded claps of thunder will begin to move into the area by midday and move into the Birmingham area right around the 4-5 pm time frame. Rain and storms should reach the Gadsden, Anniston, and Auburn areas by the 6-7 pm time frame. Severe weather is not expected for Central Alabama, but a few strong storms will be possible down in the southwestern corner of the state. Highs will be in the lower 60s to the mid 70s.



THE NEW YEAR’S WEEKEND: Saturday’s activity is now trending as scattered showers and some thunder with nearly all the activity out of the area and over into Georgia by the start of the evening. A few strong storms will be possible for the southeastern parts of the area, and the SPC has introduced a Marginal Risk for those locations. After that, Central Alabama is trending dry at this point, especially at midnight. Highs in the lower 60s to the lower 70s, with midnight temperatures in the 50s.

New Year’s Day continues to trend dry and mild with mostly sunny skies, as highs will be up in the mid 60s to the lower 70s.

THE FIRST WORK WEEK OF 2023: The first three days of the work week look to be wet and stormy at times with plenty of rainfall, leading to the potential of some flooding issues. Rain chances will start to move into the western parts of the area during the mid-morning hours on Monday and will eventually spread eastward through the rest of the day. By he late-night and into the overnight hours, there will be a lull in the rain until the next wave arrives. Highs in the upper 60s to the mid 70s.



Rain and storms will move into the area early on Tuesday, and now it looks like we may have to put up with the potential of severe storms to go along with the potential of some flooding issues. All of Central Alabama and a good portion of the Tennessee Valley have been placed in the equivalent of a Slight Risk of the SPC’s Day Five Severe Weather Outlook. Severe threats include damaging winds and tornadoes. We look to see around 2–3 inches of rain throughout the day as well, which will be enough for the potential of some flooding issues. We’ll get a better look at the severe threat once the high-resolution models come into play. Highs in the upper 60s to the lower 70s.

Rain and storms will continue across much of the area on Wednesday as the system refuses to push on out of the area until the late evening and overnight hours. While severe weather doesn’t look likely at this point, more heavy rain is expected as totals for the day look to range from 1 to 2 inches. Highs in the upper 50s to the lower 70s.

And at the end of the forecast period on Thursday… Dry and cooler conditions can be expected as skies will begin to clear out. Highs in the lower 50s to the lower 60s.

 

This is the GFS model for rainfall totals over the next 48hrs


And this is the NAM model


Both Friday to Sunday time periods but as you can see they are a bit different as far as rain totals go. But one thing is for sure

 

Morning Fellas, Finally Friday!

 

Good morning everyone!

 

Those are cool pictures

 

Good afternoon guys

 

Threw 0303 code this morning on way to physical therapy. Limped back home, pulled plugs and cylinder 3 was coated in what looked like oil but smells like gas and odd viscosity. About to replace plugs and hope for best. Probably need to replace valve cover gasket.
I should have taken the trade offer Monday, ugh!

 

Blown gasket most likely , sorry bud

 

valve cover gasket is easy and cheap. Definitely not head gasket thankfully

 

Plugs replaced, with when I can only use one arm (non dominant) fully. My right arm was practically useless lol

Got up to operating temp and runs good. Let it cool a bit and pulled #3. Looked good. Just went on 5mile ride and everything was good. Except I forgot a hose and had no brakes! Fixed easily enough

May just go ahead with valve cover gasket for piece of mind when I trade or sell it. I was very tempted Monday but couldn’t agree on out the door price. They wanted me to finance and I made it clear it would be trade + cash.

 

Thank you, he is really getting into it

 

Nice night out
