Good..….great sleeping weather

 

Damn this rain again!

 

Could get dicey for folks today South of I85 in a line from Opelika, Montgomery to Selma. Stay weather aware

From AlabamaWX

WET TUESDAY: A large mass of rain with a few elevated thunderstorms will move across the northern half of Alabama today. The air will be cool and stable with temperatures holding in the 50s most of the day, and severe storms are not expected. However, to the south, strong to severe storms are likely over South Alabama. SPC continue to define a “slight risk” (level 2/5) for most of South Alabama, east of a line from Uniontown to Bay Minette.



We believe the highest risk will be in areas southeast of Montgomery; storms there will be capable of producing large hail, strong winds, and possibly a few tornadoes. This will be a fast moving system; the threat of severe storms will end there by early afternoon. If you live in Southeast Alabama be sure you have a way of hearing severe weather weather warnings today if they are needed. Rain amounts statewide will be around 1/2 inch, with isolated heavier amounts to one inch.

REST OF THE WEEK: The sky will clear tonight, and tomorrow morning will be pretty chilly over the northern third of the state, where temperatures will dip into the mid to upper 30s. We sure can’t rule out the chance of frost for the colder spots and protected areas. Then, during the day we expect a sunny sky with a high in the mid 60s. The weather stays dry for the rest of the week; we rise into the low 70s Thursday, followed by mid 70s Friday.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Saturday looks generally dry and pleasant with a partly sunny sky; temperatures will rise into the 75-80 degree range. Then, on Sunday, expect a mix of sun and clouds with a high around 80; a few scattered showers are possible, but for now we don’t expect anything really widespread.

NEXT WEEK: Monday and Tuesday look rather unsettled with a pretty good chance of showers and thunderstorms both days. The air will be pretty unstable by Tuesday, and we will keep an eye on the event for severe weather potential in coming days. The latter half of the week looks mostly dry and warm

 

I'm sure you've all seen this by now, some interesting information.

Doctors are reporting they now understand the behavior of the COVID 19 virus
due to autopsies that they have carried out. This virus is characterized by
obstructing respiratory pathways with thick mucus that solidifies and blocks
the airways and lungs. So they have discovered that in order to apply a
medicine you have to open and unblock these airways so that the treatment
can be used to take effect however all of this takes a number of days. Their
recommendations for what you can do to safeguard yourself are ...
1) Drink lots of hot liquids - coffees, soups, teas, warm water. In addition
take a sip of warm water every 20 minutes bc this keeps your mouth moist and
washes any of the virus that's entered your mouth into your stomach where
your gastric juices will neutralize it before it can get to the lungs.
2) Gargle with an antiseptic and warm water like vinegar or salt or lemon
every day if possible
3) The virus attaches itself to hair and clothes. And detergent or soap
kills it but you must take bath or shower when you get in from the street.
Avoid sitting down in your home and go straight to the shower. If you cannot
wash your clothes daily, hang them in sunlight which also helps to
neutralize the virus
4) Wash metallic surfaces very carefully bc the virus can stay viable on
these for up to 9 days. Take note and be vigilant about touching hand rails,
door knobs, etc. and keep these clean in home
5) Don't smoke
6) Wash your hands every 20 minutes with any soap that foams and do this for
20 seconds
7) Eat fruits and vegetables. Try to elevate your zinc levels
8)Animals do not spread the virus to people. It's a person to person
transmission.
9)Try to avoid getting the common flu as this already weakens your system
and try to avoid eating and drinking any cold things.
10) If you feel any discomfort in your throat or a sore throat coming on,
attack it immediately using the above methods. The virus enters the system
through the throat but will sit in the throat for 3-4 days before it passes
into your lungs.
In addition ...
Experts suggest doing this simple verification every morning: Breathe in
deeply and hold your breath for 10 seconds. If this can be done without
coughing, without difficulty, this shows that there is no fibrosis in the
lungs, indicating the absence of infection. It is recommended to do this
control every morning to help detect infection.

 

Been doing this,hope it all helps

 

Been seeing a lot of things like this, where did this info come from?

 

I got it from my sister who is a teacher. A medical professional sent it to their school to distribute.

man, just got caught up in here.

 

Dang the alabama thread is lively.

Hey guys I'm about to move to AL/GA line soon and have been eyeing new tires finally. While in Washington I can easily get away with a good AT. Was wondering if I can do the same in your neck of the woods? High Hope's for it, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need a mud tire.

 

An AT tire will be just fine down here in the south, especially for a daily driver. If you’re gonna go hit the mud or off-road a lot, then go with a mud tire. When my tires wear out, I’m going with a name brand mudder of some flavor.

 

@JBTacoma i need a front driveshaft. You know anywhere to get one for cheap? Also OEM CV.

 

Yeah I should've lead with "I will be offloading" so a mud tire it is
