Texas Fall/Winter thread!

..then I checked the photo again and saw it had the cylinders on the inside of the grapple arms...........not in the middle. Too much bending forces in this configuation. It really was a lite duty grapple.
hugs, Brandi

Brandi, can you find a pic of what you are describing that has too much bending forces? Also how wide should the grapple jaws open? Thanks.

33 degrees this morning, forecast to go to 36, and instead it stayed at 33 until this afternoon when it went down to 32. I think that forecast of 36 for a high today and 35 for a low tonight is gonna miss the mark a bit.

The high of 36 was at midnight, bird! Been dropping since.

You're right. I didn't check far enough; just accustomed to the high being in the afternoon.

74 degrees at 4:30 am and was down to 44 degrees by 6:30 am. Got all the way up to 45 this afternoon but on the way back down now. Windy all day.

You just didn't get up early enough to enjoy the high temp of the day!

And if I wanted weather like this, I'd live someplace else!!!!

It's 52 here and on the way to 46.. Think I will build a fire outside, a drink for the insides then set and watch the leaves fall from the trees.. Hope it not to much excitement for me.:laughing:. Lou

The other thread was talking about a big plane on a short runway...so I remembered this and I'm sure Lou does too.

A Boeing 727 hijacked, landed at a former runway in Lake Jackson 5000 foot long. Back in '72. Waaaaay before Bindian and FG were around.

40 years later: The day a 727 landed at Lake Jackson - Bayou City History

I remember my uncle said they had it there for a long time removing seats and almost anything it didn't have to have to fly. Just so they could get it out of there. Probably waited for a 35 mph sea breeze headwind if they could too.

I do remember it Kyle.. My wife, I and our two sons at the time watched it take off.. We live across the street from the airport.. Now where that airport was is housing addition, Lowes, Home depot, Wal mart supper center and about twenty other businesses.. I was twenty five at the time.. Lou
