Oregon and Washington BS thread

What girl could say no to that haha

 

good lookin welds

 

Haha for sure..

Yeah, those are old F150 leafs too, they were pretty dirty. Plus, they're spring steel.. That's definitely one of the harder things about this technique, is just telling your hand to relax. I'm getting better at it, sounds lame.. but just telling myself to relax haha. But yeah, it's all about puddle control.

Already built a bed rack.. Want one?

Side note. I've had a few requests to build my junk for under what major manufacturers are selling them for. First off - you can't even buy this style rack. Secondly $100 under what All Poo sells theirs for will just about cover my materials..

Rant over.



Gotta get off of here and down to Seattle. Was going to pick up a gun case, but totally forgot about Black Friday. No way.

 

haha, oh their are some. My Girlfriend was not happy about it when she found out the cost. Refused for awhile to use it, but that changed

 

lol! Yea, I'm not going near any major store for the whole weekend. Screw that nuttiness!

 

is that the snow you found last weekend? is it still there?

 

ya cant deny that luxury forever!

 

jake, i say if you build stuff; sell it to where you make a profit and dont fret. People (including myself ) always try to get deals. Its just some things on the market are pretty over-priced for what your getting. just my $0.02

 

For sure! I'm not looking to make a killing, but at least a little profit would be great.

I'm not pointing fingers - but some of the prices vendors want for stuff on here is INSANE!!

 

Yup! About 2 feet..

Looks like rain for Colockum this weekend..

 

you should see the weather warning we have starting sunday into mid week. Some areas in single digits, possible snow on the valley floor where I'm at. Which doesnt happen a lot since were only at like 180ft lol

 

It better not. Dead Week and then finals. I won't have time to enjoy it!

 

its still speculation tho.. Here's the warning.

...TRICKY TRAVEL OVER THE CASCADE PASSES SUNDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY VERY COLD AIR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK ...

THOSE TRAVELING HOME FROM THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND MAY WANT TO CONSIDER TRAVEL BY SATURDAY ...AS WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY DETERIORATE ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST SUNDAY.

A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED SUNDAY AS A VERY STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING SNOW TO THE CASCADE PASSES ...WITH PLENTY OF RAIN EXPECTED FOR THE LOWLANDS. HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE TO SNOW IN THE CASCADES SUNDAY EVENING ...POTENTIALLY CAUSING SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW TO ACCUMULATE ON THE CASCADE PASSES SUNDAY EVENING. HEAVIER SNOW IS EXPECTED SUNDAY OVERNIGHT. CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED THAT SNOW WILL GENERALLY BE CONFINED ABOVE PASS LEVEL SUNDAY AFTERNOON/

BEHIND THIS COLD FRONT ...VERY COLD AIR SOURCED FROM THE ARCTIC WILL MOVE INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. SNOW LEVELS WILL LOWER DRAMATICALLY WITH THE FRONT LATE SUNDAY NIGHT ...APPROACHING THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY FLOOR LATE MONDAY. A SECONDARY SYSTEM MAY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL MOISTURE MONDAY ... POTENTIALLY BRINGING MIXED RAIN AND SNOW TO THE LOWEST ELEVATIONS DURING MONDAY EVENING COMMUTE. THE DETAILS REGARDING THIS SECONDARY SYSTEM ARE STILL HIGHLY UNCERTAIN.

EVEN COLDER AIR IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE REGION BEHIND THIS SECOND SYSTEM ...LIKELY THE COLDEST SINCE NOVEMBER 2010 OR POSSIBLY LONGER. STRONG EAST WINDS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP IN THE GORGE AND IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN ...PUSHING WIND CHILLS NEAR OR EVEN BELOW ZERO FOR THESE AREAS. WIND CHILLS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ARE POSSIBLE FOR THE PORTLAND METRO AREA BY MIDWEEK. WITH RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWLANDS GENERALLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 20S NEXT WEEK ...IT IS FAIRLY SAFE TO SAY SOME RECORDS WILL FALL.

CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT WINTRY WEATHER WILL AFFECT SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON NEXT WEEK ...THOUGH THE FINER DETAILS REMAIN UNCERTAIN.

 

Dang I wanna find snow. I've had no luck so far. I have Tuesday and Wednesday off. I was hoping to go find some on one of those days

 

Jake, I may have to find a set of steel rims for my truck and have you do some welding to make double sided beadlockers. From what I saw of a video, 4 wheels can be made into beadlocks for about the cost of buying 1 that was originally designed that way.

 

Guess you'll be borrowing a truck to go somewhere if that's the case?

 

Ya my truck is still drivable but it will be in the shop by then hopefully. I was gonna take my powerstroke haha or talk one of my friends into going and co-piloting..

On that note anyone wanna go find snow

 

I'd love to, but I'm stuck in CO Springs until the 20th.

 

Dang! You working out there?

 

Some AF schooling. Kind of pointless stuff, but I have to do it.
