Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I made my fat ass truck much more drive able today.

want lol

 

It’s nice.
Before when I’d drive up 17 I’d have to downshift, keep the speed at about 45mph at 3500 RPMs.
Now it’s 55-60 at 2500-2700 RPMs and I can actually accelerate.

 

are you regeared?

 

That’s coming in December.
Edit: that’ll make a huge difference. I’m on 255 85 16 mid terrains with stock gearing...not very good.

 

Came across this guy at my dog’s favorite squirrel haunt a week or so ago




When I let the dog off leash she took off running down the levee like usual. Hawk chased her down and swooped on her back, it was pretty epic lol. Good thing she’s 50lbs not 5...

 

Watching the game....no masks in the nfl... Lol. Come on America. I'll leave it at that.......



We will survive.......

 

Stay safe if you live near the Santa Rosa/Calistoga area y’all. We have our stuff packed and are ready to go. It’s dicey as fuck.... moving fast.

 

I always confuse sharp shinned and cooper's hawks. I need a pneumatic... I mean mnemonic device.

 

I always assume Coopers since they are more common. My problem is they move quickly so it’s hard for amateur like me to recognize differences. They almost never pose for pictures like that when I’m ready with camera. Does make me want to set up wildlife cam in back yard.

 

Somewhat Urgent

Anyone in here from up around Red Bluff? My kid is having truck problems up there. On the way home to Washington.

Edit *** Redding area.

 

With the right education/reference, patience, and practice you can get their ID down. Here is a decent little article on it:

https://www.birdwatching-bliss.com/coopers-hawk-sharp-shinned-hawk-id.html

The key to identifying Cooper’s hawks and sharp-shinned hawks is to remember that there is no single telltale characteristic that can identify either species. Instead, you need to consider several characteristics of the bird to decide which species it is.

 

So... my kid sent a connecting rod through his oil pan on the way home to Washington.

He has extended warranty... he is under the time frame and milage (beeeeeaaaarly)

Towed to Redding Toyota, waiting till tomorrow to find out if it's going to be covered.

If it's not covered... I guess I'll be motor swapping in a LKQ 1GRFE.

 

Pictures or it didn’t happen

 

LS or bust

 

Don't have any yet lol

 

I think that goes well beyond my wheel house, and his budget.

 

no better time to learn than on someone else’s truck and besides ... a budget is just a suggestion.

 

He's more of a Coyote man.

 

Is it bad that i read crayons?
