AcworthWx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Have fun with those 70's, SE brethren. I'll be in Colorado(Just got here) for the next 10 days enjoying some time on the slopes and in the Backcountry. :wub:Just don't know how much of the BC I'll see since the Avalanche Danger is elevated right now since it's been such a horrible season. Supposed to get a front coming through on Saturday with some good amounts, at least from what I've been told. When I get to my buddy's house, I'll have a chance to look at the models. The storm was actually progged to come through starting tomorrow night, last I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I was bored and took a pic of the sun while on the way to Waycross from Brunswick, Ga. lol it was from my phone so it came out small. That's impressive! Looks like you've got the gift Is that a sundog, or a camera artifact? T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POWERSTROKE Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Back from the post-storm hangover, not much of p-type event here, plain jain cold rain, a little ip on the back-end with some <dime size tokens, maybe an hour, but they were fighting a loosing battle as the dendritic growth zone petered out around rdu. Worked on the new tiller today, gutted the rear end absent of the brass worm gears. New shafts, bearings, seals, shims, the whole 9. went out without a hitch expect for a wtf event on the tail end. Accidentally grabbed a half empty bottle of 10-30 amsoil of course, and mixed it in with the gear oil. Figure no big deal, back-end takes around 1.6 quarts, maybe 16-20 oz of the 30 weight, rest was the 75-140 severe gear. Probably going to flush it after I turn over the warm season and flower beds, engine dump too. Bought for 350, around 500 invested between the carb and parts for today. Tiller was in rough shape, but they sure don't make them like they used to. hard to find USA stuff anymore, back when we made such like tanks. old 8hp Tecumseh was purring tonight, valves just a little sticky but she is a cast iron beast! Not to much going on wx-wise, big time rn maker cutting through the oh valley kind of peetered out on the models. Long range screams spring, temps pushing 70, and mean storm track through the central plains. Period around the 27/28 is a little interesting, but I suspect it will trend warmer. After that who knows, March could always bring a surprise, although after the first week chances here drop off, western parts are still in the game though. Later... use amsoil gear oil instead of mixing oil with it. We run nothing but amsoil products in all of our equipment and trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We run nothing but amsoil products in all of our equipment and trucks way OT but... I use Amsoil in the Deere but use Red Line for my manual transmissions and differentials in my older Datsuns 510's. I also guess Van denton uses amsoil to slither his way out of his bad forecasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you and Jose can warm the house tonight I'll give you a copy of the Rain Zombie, if you want. It's the only thing I can think of that accounts for all this rain bounty I'm getting all of a sudden, lol. It ain't purty, but it works! Still, you've done pretty good this week with the rain.
