Ok... looks like the weather is targeting the NE more today than the central plains...


The radar as it is starting off for the day...

The convective t-storm outlook ... this should make those chasers in the NE happy and everyone else on edge ....

Even the tornado outlook is centered to the NE...

If you live in the NE... Remember that just because they've forecasted a higher probability for storms and tornadoes, doesn't mean you will actually see them. Just pay more attention to the weather forecasters in your area, ignore their hype if they spread it ( ie doom and gloom forecasts ), but pay attention to the real info of what is actually happening. It is something to take seriously, but only if the weather is actually heading your way. If you are planning anything, remember to consider that you may need to take shelter and be prepared just in case. Sometimes storms can pop up quickly... so just keep an eye on what is happening around you.

well they're racing in Long Pond (pocono) PA today, but it's kinda looking they will be doing it tomorrow

RD can you adjust your mower up high ? that's what I do makes it go faster then I go back in a few days with it set lower :)

I could do that... what I tend to do ( and I'll know more after I start ) is mow with only about 1/2 the deck at a time which of course means I go around twice as much... If I can't get away with it that way, then I'll raise the deck for the first round and then lower it and repeat to finish it off. A lot will depend on how dry the grass ends up being when I do cut it... which is why I'll probably go to the folks first beforehand.

Here is a little more detailed map which includes the tropical depression and it's forecasted track, visible satellite, radar and current temps for the region

I just tracked all of my packages coming in... woo hoo.... :)

Looks like the two Theorem clones will make it tomorrow... I'm stoked about the black one since it'll match my mod nicely. That package also has some generic notch coils rated for 0.4Ω which won't let me use it on the pipe... but I can use it on one of my other mods I think ( I need to double check it's specs before I commit to it )

    (I would make a great storm chaser)

    I seem to get chased more than I get to chase...

    Last May, I had three tornadoes chase me all in one day, not to mention the flooding we had to deal with later... :blink:

    A bunch of musician friends I know from a couple of different bands were meeting to discuss what we remembered about another friend of ours that had just passed away... We were going to a bar that we had all played at frequently for the meet. Just about the time I was suppose to be leaving, a tornado was shown on radar to my west probably a good 5-10 minutes behind me. Instead of heading to the meeting, I headed to my office building since it has a basement where I could take shelter if needed. Thankfully, it turned left slightly and ended up about 2 miles to the north of me. I never saw that funnel but I also won't forget how black it looked behind me in the car mirror as I drove east to get away from it.

    After that one passed by... I went ahead and headed north towards the meeting. Just as I got to I-35, looking at my radar on my phone, I see another area of circulation following just to the south of me also heading north. I normally wouldn't have been too worried about it since I was out in front of it, but we were also getting a ton of rain which was flooding the highway... so I had to go much slower than the speed limit allowed.

    Got to the bar well in front of it, despite having to go much slower than I cared for... Most of my friends had made it and we started chatting it up remembering all of the fun times we'd had. The weather started getting a lot stronger after a bit and the bar turned on the weather on all of the TV's for us to keep up with things. By this time, the rain was coming down in torrents and we also started getting a lot of hail. We had a really good visit by then but were now focused more on the weather and when it was looking like it was safe to get to leave.

    Watching the weather on TV as well as the radar on my phone... we see another tornado that looked like it should pass to our west a little... In the meantime... the rain and hail intensified making us all wonder if we'd be able to even drive anywhere since flooding was now as much of an issue as the tornado we were watching. The tornado finally passed by, perhaps a 1/2 mile west of us... the rain slacked up so we all headed out to the cars.

    It took me well over an hour and a half to navigate through flooded streets and get home... normally it's only a little over a 20 minute drive. I did luck out in that I had a pickup ( probably a 4x4 since it was raised up ) leading the way so I could see how deep it was before I drove through any of the water crossing the roads I was on. After getting home, I called one of the other friends that had to go in the same direction as the tornado had gone, just to see if he was doing ok... He had gotten back onto I-35 to head north and ended up seeing power flashes in front of him, so he pulled over for a while and then when he restarted his journey... almost couldn't get through the destruction. He also ended up fighting much worse flooding than I had but luckily, he has a truck that was pretty high off of the ground which was still not high enough to avoid having water come into his cab...

    Right now I have a sub tank mini w/1.5 coil on the pipe works great, next I'll try a Russian on there with the kit Ken sent :)

    I'm also sporting a Subtank Mini on mine... the coil reads 0.69Ω

    I'm thinking of building a kanthal coil for one of the Theorem's I'm getting in... hopefully I can use .28 ga and get a build close to the 0.7Ω on it also... I've never built a coil of this diameter before ( 3mm was probably the biggest I've done, but typically a 2mm is what I shoot for )... whatever I get, I want to keep the larger diameter so I can use a larger wick also.

    I built a Kanthal coil for mine last night
    24 gauge
    3mm
    10 wraps or so
    came out to 1.0
    and it's working great on the evic mini
    for me this theorem/eVic mini set is working at pretty well
