Looking good!

Not at all! In elementary, I talked with a local weatherman, because I thought it would be cool to be part of their storm chaser crew when I was older (mainly because I was a science nerd). I've wanted to see a tornado in person, preferably while in an off-road vehicle and out in a prairie. That'll probably never happen, but watching a waterspout is on my bucket list.

Not real


Real

Isn't it awesome?! I think tornadoes and waterspouts are the most beautiful weather phenomenon there is.

I've never seen the movie, but heard quite a bit about it... For some reason when I see this picture all I can think of is "Sharknado" LOL

As for the clean side catch can, I say mostly billet because I believe the rough definition of billet aluminum is "Solid chunk of aluminum" the part is made out of... These are two billet pieces, that I will have to weld together. After taking a few measurements, I think I will be able to sink the "can" section into the oil cap about 1/2", which should make it look much better. Won't have time to play with this stuff on the lathe until later in the week though... I'll be into this can for $46.00 in raw materials + a couple hours of time by the time it's done... Not bad.

Lol, yeah I haven't seen that movie either, but I know what you're talking about.

That's not bad at all. I'll have to keep an eye on the progress.

Sounds like travel to me.

Definitions aren't exactly the same though

de·ploy (verb): ready military force: to position troops, weapons, or resources in a specific area in readiness for action, or take up position in this way

Haha it's all good. I'm adding it to the list of places I'll be spending New Years, shooting for a different country every year (not all via deployments though)

For those of you using the torque app, what Bluetooth obd connector are you using? I want to buy one to run the readiness monitors and see where I stand.. Just curiosity thoumm no registration until next year at the end

I'm looking forward to the clear night sky and big thunderstorms. And with the extra time, possibly even take a trip or two to somewhere new.

Yeah you wont be to far from Lubbock, thats where Im at. The weather has been really nice, now that its been raining. The thunderstorms have been killer too.
