Alabama thread!

Sitting on a few cases of MREs as well. Jeannie makes hand sanitizer with alcohol and aloe vera gel, so we have plenty. We can’t go 6 months though. Not enough room to store stuff. But when the kids get grown and gone, we’re gonna find a place far off the grid.

 

Well I’m here for my interview.

Holla at ya when I get done here.

 

Good luck

 

I bought a box of Auburn shirts to wipe my ass with.

 

Presumptive positive coronavirus at Huntsville Hospital. Awaiting CDC confirmation....the patient is a physician.

 

I saw some folks saying there are possibly a couple of cases in HSV just not confirmed by the CDC.

 

Im gonna be highly pissed off if baseball season gets affected!

 

Hm let me check...nope don’t care. Lol.

I just cannot stand basketball on tv.

edit: I was on my phone when I posted that...I now realize you said baseball instead of basketball lol

 

Today

WARM MARCH DAY: Clouds across Alabama this morning should give way to a partly sunny sky this afternoon; we project a high between 75 and 78 degrees. In fact, today will be the warmest day so far this year for many communities… the warmest day so far in 2020 at Birmingham was back on February 12 when the high was 76. We could beat that this afternoon. A shower or two is certainly possible, but they will be few and far between.

To the north, a significant round of severe thunderstorms is likely by afternoon in a zone from Northeast Texas through much of Kentucky and Tennessee; SPC has an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) defined for parts of that region where a few tornadoes are possible. The storms will drift southward into Alabama late tonight, but they will be weakening by then. SPC has a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) up for the northern third of Alabama tonight; a few storms could produce strong gusty winds after midnight.



TOMORROW: Cooler air will filter into North Alabama, making for a tricky temperature forecast. We start the day in the mid 60s, but temperatures will likely fall slowly into the 50s over the northern third of the state. The sky will be cloudy, and some light rain is possible at times. The weather stays mild and dry for South Alabama.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Saturday will feature a mix of sun and clouds with a high around 70; the risk of a shower for any given spot is relatively small. Not much change Sunday; with intervals of sunshine the high will near 70 with some potential for scattered showers.

NEXT WEEK: Mild, showery weather is the story. Highs will be mostly in the 70s, and there will be some risk of showers on daily basis. However, the rain won’t be especially heavy or widespread, and we see no signals of flooding or severe thunderstorm issues for now. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.

 

so I dropped my 4runner off with my mechanic to diagnose a wobble I've been having since basically just shortly after I bought it. it would happen intermittently, mainly feeling it in the driver side front tire, and it happened more aggressively going down hills when I would apply brakes. initially I thought it was just warped rotors so I changed those and new brake pads and such and whatnot and it kept happening. had tires rotated/balanced, alignments, different tires etc...still happened. remember, intermittently. so I was thinking well maybe it's wheel bearing or a bushing or something, which I didn't want to just crap shoot and didn't have time to diagnose it...

just got a call, gotta get a rack and pinion assembly for it. all of the bushings are worn slap out, and the worm gear apparently has a shit ton of play in it. so there's that. glad I took it to him, I would've never dug that far in.

 

You got to get intimate with your runner bro.

 

I haven't even given my truck any love over the past few months. Every free second I get I'm either doing house projects or it's raining lol

 

i kinda forgot you had a 4Runner....

 

technically 2.

my '98 and Amy's '06

 

not married yet

 

don't care

I drive that shit more than she does haha

 

sounds like a perfect excuse to sas your 98

 

nah, not modifying it. it's just the backup.

maybe one day when we have a new 4runner and a tundra.

 

Thanks bro, just got home from the interview and meeting Brian for lunch. It looks very promising. Vice President has already called and threw out an offer. Sounds like it's negotiable though, so I'll chew on it over the weekend and throw a counter offer to him early next week!

 

Let them know you are serious about their opportunity and give them a counter tomorrow. If they are serious enough to offer this quick, I'd counter ASAP and keep the ball rolling.
Just my opinion. like we all know, "opinion's are like a$$holes, everybodys got one" Good luck with the job hunt!
