Looking at the forecast for next week, I will go ahead and bet that at least Hamilton County will cancel their test again.

No it will go off as planned. The only reason to cancel is when it rains and the test day it is way below freezing or if it snows melts then freezes on test day. We don't want the rotation assembly to freeze and not rotate, therefore putting stress on one point of the slip rings

I am almost certain that the test will be cancelled due to weather below freezing and just a few days ago we had precipitation and it has not gone above freezing since then. It is a consensus that damage could result if the rotate mechanism froze and the siren blew therefore putting undo stress on the slip rings.

Well well well, look who predicted correctly last week? :lol: I don’t expect the rescheduled test for next week to be cancelled again.

Now to see what Warren County will end up doing.

I just heard a story on the news that the old Huedpohl brewery building is slated to be demolished soon. That means that the Thunderbolt is coming down with it. It really is a shame to see such an iconic building come down.

Andy: You were right about the test. Go out and buy a lottery ticket and I get half.

I know this is off what everyone is currently talking about but a couple of months ago I had a load go into Ohio and found myself in the mt airy neighborhood. Well junior year of high school I watched a lot of jpressman8s videos as it was a way for me to cope with an interesting part of my life. Well after some driving and frantic looking I saw it! The mt airy thunderbolt! And the T128 that replaced it. I also drove through part of white oak but I didn’t get to see that one.
Own and love a Thunderbolt 1000 and a Model 5.

I have many hobbies and interests. And I love them all.
