  1. There's enough room there for me to cut donuts in the Grand Marquis. Tim
  2. I personally knew the guy that built the engine, and he was not inexperienced. This is the first I knew of this, and I'd ask him what the deal is, however, I cannot. He has since passed on from congestive heart failure. Tim
  3. You know, if you are interested, there is a place for very good online training. https://www.meted.ucar.edu/ Very good place, all the material is from some VERY bright folks. I do modules all the time, and am continually racking up certificates, and it is all free. Two tips: 1. Take a lot of notes. It may be free, but it sure as hell isn't easy. 2. Start with Mesoscale Meteorology. I didn't. I started out to get my Skywarn Certification, which I did in one night, then moved onto Summer Severe Weather, and in retrospect, that was a mistake. They don't exactly say "Start Here", so I arbitrarily picked a starting point, and was a little overwhelmed at first. If you don't mind driving to Norman, OK, I can recommend a place where I went for actual classroom time, and achieved a technical certification in Basic Severe Weather Forecasting. Between my classroom classes, and online courses, here's everything I have completed so far: Basic Severe Weather Forecasting Mesoanalysis and Satellite Workshop Radar Workshop Role of the SkyWarn Spotter SkyWarn Spotter Convective Basics Principles of Convection I - Buoyancy and CAPE Principles of Convection II - Using Hodographs Principles of Convection III - Shear and Convective Storms Shear and Convection II - Mesoscale Convective Systems It's a nice start, I'm hoping to have a lot more under the belt by the time next chase season rolls around. Tim
  4. I can't hold out on you guys......here's a vid of me punching a hail core on 04.14.2012, near Sawyer, KS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E-5JTGm3kY&feature=player_embedded Tim
  5. We just stopped to snap the pic. Truth be told, I have found in my first season, even though Storm Chasers is no longer filming, ALL of them are still out there doing their thing. That day in LaCrosse, we ran across the DOW trucks three different times. The third time, we were in a parking lot for a business with a funnel forming right over our heads, and they drove by and honked and waved. Reed Timmer's pretty down to earth too...that day in Nebraska, he took time out to share strategies with us. Most folks in the storm chasing game are pretty cool, down to earth people. The "fellow chaser" in my truck forecasting with me has run across the TIV guys a couple of times this season. None of them are stuck up, or hard to talk to. Tim
  6. I thought I would share some of the better things we saw over the course of the season. My first funnel cloud, 04.09.2012, Rhea, OK My first radar setup in the truck V-notch cloud formation, Clearwater, KS 04.13.2012 RFD notch, and funnel, Sawyer, KS, 04.14.2012 Running across Reed Timmer and the Dominator, Crieghton, NE, 05.05.2012 Forecasting with a fellow chaser, Hebron, NE, 05.23.2012 Getting ready to be go time, LaCrosse, KS, 05.28.2012 Mean gust front near Viola, KS, 05.30.2012 There's a whole lot more, and some good stories too, but those are the visual highlights! Tim
  7. Hot and dry. Boring for storm chasing, LOL. I hope you guys like that car....while it does have some issues, it's a pretty honest car through and through. Tim
  8. Iiiiiiinteresting. I sell my car, and become a storm chaser, and what shows up here? My Grand Cherokee! LOL Tim
  9. Nope, no cows, no combines, or flying Jeeps. However, the season is just about to get going good once we get the polar jet to dip back down south. Give us a little upper support, and a nice dryline, and some good instability, and we'll be back in business. It's also been floated that I need a replica Dorothy for the back of my Dodge Ram. Tim
  10. Got a little lull in the storm chasing with a calm weather pattern, just wanted to let you guys know that I am still around.... And...if you would like to scope out what all I have been up to, feel free to peruse my storm chasing blog: http://midamericastormchasing.wordpress.com/ Tim
  11. The speed sensor is all you really need. The fuel pump sender is different, but if you are good with electronics, you can use a resistor, and reverse the original to make it work. As for the wiring, get a '86 manual, and compare to your '88. That's how Max and I did it, and made an adaptor harness that plugs right into the car's wiring, no hacking necessary. Tim
  12. Guys, I need a few things! 1. Oil pickup tube attaching nuts. These seems to have been misplaced, however, it has been two years now! 2. '87 Ignitor box. I know Cliff's is shot. Let me know! Thanks, Tim
  13. I'm a little late in doing this, but I just wanted to report that Josh is a very good guy to deal with, and what he says, he will make happen. Excellent buyer. Tim
  14. No, that's Cliff's place. I'll be calling you tomorrow, BTW. Seems I forgot a couple of things, LOL Tim
