    When I was in Minnesota last week the Rental Car guy told me they were under a Heat Index warning and Humidity warning. He saw my license and laughed and said it would be comfortable to me. I curiously asked what the warnings were.... "Heat Index of 95 and Humidity of 55%" I was like....that's a freaking warning?

    Same here in Cusseta. It's like opening an oven door when you walk outside. I'm thinking about baking a pizza on the front porch here at the office for lunch.

    For me, the only good think about Mobile was its proximity to the Gulf, which I miss everyday up here in B'ham. But as far as the two cities go, b'ham is far and away a better place to live, in my opinion.

    It really is, I am so excited, I have had 2 interviews now I am in the waiting game. I will finally have a career in my field of study! One of the questions was if I had a truck and could I make it down service roads to reach cell towers, I was sold from there! lol

    I can get us to a press if needed. I'm not near as worried about getting it in as I am getting the old one out. I do have a spare room you can stay in if it gets down to it.

    Ok that sounds good, lets tackle it! I have read that heating the LCA a little can help it release.

    Thanks man!

    5lb hammer and some 4x4 wooden blocks are going to be your best friend for getting the old one out. Unless you do it the right way and have a press...

    Thank God for Redstone Federal Credit Union's account protection plan. Just got that lovely call (for the 4th time I might add) from Redstone saying that some piece of shit had spent $1200 dollars at a damn Alabaster Walmart using my debit card numbers. Luckily, my money is back safe in my account, but now I get to get a new debit card, new numbers to remember, and all the other BS that comes with someone being a sorry POS. Its a shame you never get to run into these people in person. Myself being the judge, jury, and executioner on someone who does this to myself personally seems like much "fairer" justice. *Missteps and falls off soapbox*

    So I'm a IT in the CG and have a good bit of experience with INFOSEC. You need to change the password on all your email accounts and do not use those passwords anywhere else.

    99% they got into your email after they got a username and password from a compromised site like a web forum or web store where you used the same password for that site and your email. Once you have access to someone's email the rest just falls into place.

    Never ever use the same passwords for your email as you do for other sites like TW.

    Oh yea I know. I'm in network security and get to do that every 90 days or so for work. It just frustrates me to no end knowing I like many others work hard for their money and what they have then some lowlife POS tries to steal it. Haha days like today are when the Purge movie sounds like a good idea!

    You can go super crazy like me. I use a password manager that passes passwords to my web browser and all my passwords for everything are at least 128bit as long as the website supports it. Most of my passwords looks like this g\`i&O45@KJ+dSmIUqME"OYq4Sl|'gBwXuc$aK#\e~1MtqHI and I have hundreds of different ones. Hell I don't even know my own TW password :rofl:

    Yeah that is great until your password manager blows up or you have to type it into your iphone.

    I have the same software on my phone and my password database is backed up and share among all my devices with my personal cloud. Storing passwords and digital keys the way I do it is the industry standard. Any other password scheme is how you have your identity stolen...

    Ok guys, if you were going to buy a vehicle for your son to drive to college and back, what would you buy? Tacoma on't work, it has to be a SUV. The college is a 10 hour drive, it's in Virginia. I think Fj cruiser, his mom says ford edge. The Fj is a 2007 4wd has 135000 miles. The edge is 2010 awd with 108000 miles. Or is there something else you guys would buy?

    Yeah Tacomas and 4runners are hard to find.

    I've been good, just gearing up for more crazy kids.

    How you been? We've actually got to get an overnight trip sometime this fall.
