Re: Hows your Weather?
Probably right. Just going off the animals . If a storm is coming they seem to drink like crazy. Cold weather , they back off drinking water, and right now they are drinking water at a decent pace. Anyway, not a scientist, just an old redneck hoping for the best.

Why doesn't doppler radar pick up planes? Hmm.
The answer is that it can and it does! In fact, it was first used to do exactly that, detect airplanes. They found that it was so sensitive that it would pick up cloud cover, making airplane detection useless on cloudy days. They turned it into a weather radar.
Because Doppler measures changing velocity as much as anything, it's great for weather but high grade military stuff still uses it also.
When you're looking at the giant regional map that the weather guy is showing, an airplane would be represented by a Dot that is so tiny That you couldn't see on the superimposed map.

Re: Pipe / Tobacco Deals
Good find, I'd never heard of them but I checked another forum and saw that someone else had ordered and received tobacco from them.

Two dry days in a row to end the wettest May on record, just over 20 inches. That's four inches more than the previous record. All the White River lake are full, any more rain and the Arkansas rice farmers start getting flooded.

Re: Stupid pipe **** that pops into my head.
Is the tobacco hard to come by? I’m just wondering if it would be worth going through all the trouble instead of just pitching it and getting more.

About maintenance, with extended use the gear box gets pretty hot, should I take it apart and do something to the mechanism to help it run cooler?
Is it clean? Might try blowing out any dust first.
