We are seeing sun right now, but the radar is showing another system coming in in the next couple of hours. We have been getting a convection going here at the end of the valley giving some spots over 7" of rain while others get less than an inch and just 10 miles apart.

The Sac is running VERY high right now and we are concerned about snow melt.

I've also seen several slides and localized flooding in the 8 counties that make up the district that I work in, and am wondering when my number will come up for slide response.

 

This is what happens when California talks about piping water from Washington.

Nest time William Shatner or someone else talks about that idea just remember
how the state of Washington feels about people wanting her water and what she does
when that idea comes up.

All joking aside, Stay Safe.

 

Them big floods uncover the placer gold.... dredge seasons coming!

Stay safe, flooding and slides can be a bad thing for people and houses.

 

That's true , reminds me I need to get my dredging stuff out , waters to high right know though , I need to get some BIG Nuggets

 

But, winter dredging let's you be the first to find the new gold right after a flood. Before they limited dredging, you could dredge in the cold of winter and even at flood stage.

 

I'll need a bigger rock to hold my **** in one place , rivers are flat out moving right now and very murky , the only thing I'd catch is pneumonia ,

 

Rained here all day yesterday and some this morning. Got my HPOP via UPS so I tossed it in when I saw a bit of sun. Got to the HPOP cover and the oil cooler being installed before it started raining again

 

Build a pair of these adapters and pickup 2 Harbor Frieght 2000lb stands. Fabricate the 2 stands so the support legs interlock & slide together. The only other thing I'd consider is a worm drive gearbox to rotate the assembly.
I vaguely remember seeing plans somewhere but can't remember. I think Anthony shows his stand in one of his videos but good luck finding it. If I come across anything I'll let you know.

There is some information on an engine stand in the attached documents.

 

Check this article out. This is on one of the largest earthen dams in the U.S.

Are you talking some kinda portable dredge
Im just curious it would be fun to do

 

Thanks 87, bismic. I found pictures for 2. One a Ferrari V12 and a Jaguar V12. Got with the welding guy in the shop next door and working on drawings to build one up. Will show him these.

 

Some of the guys built these. The first 3 photos are the same one and the last one is something else.

The dates I have on both are early Jan,Feb 2016

 

Sean, thanks a bunch. These help. Also looking fo a reduction gear box for turning.

 

Just Google " worm drive reduction gearbox" under the Shopping tab and you'll find all kinds for sale.
