My Pentium 1 Linux box with the TOR browser is down for the day.

 

Classy!

 

I barely even remember derivatives. When the rona hit I quit going to school and lost all my math. If I go back I'm gonna have to start at college algebra again.

 

what?

 

Something something math something something.

What DEE hell you talking’ bout?

 

I'd actually like to see how much their sales numbers have gone up in the last 12-18ish months since I found out you can get almost anything no-tax/free-ship from them and began shamelessly plugging the hell out of them. I have no doubt they've seen a significant bump in business.

It's bittersweet for me. Before I started plugging them b/c I wanted to share the gem I'd found, service was fast, seamless, friendly. I've definitely seen a change in that, but I don't know if it's just the supply chain issues everyone seems to be having right now, or if it's burnout from more shipping orders swamping in, something else, or a little of all the above.

There may be other dealerships in AL that are doing the no-tax deal. And you should know, Serra has another dealership that does online parts with the same level of discount and no-tax based in Birmingham if you wanted to try another dealership in their lineup. I think Cool Springs is back at it again, and Roman provided some of the best f'n service I'd ever experienced with a dealership, with a smidge more discount than Serra if an xtra customer svc bump would rub you right..

I genuinely laughed at this.

 

My guess is that business has increased a lot and they either can't or won't hire more people to help in the parts department. I've had some issues with them too but their communication is usually on point. I'll keep using them for now.

The next time they have a sale I hope someone mentions it again so we don't miss it.

 

I usually get an email about it, I'll be sure to share next go-round.

 

Hah, check engine light back on in the ‘05 and I’m betting another small leak code. At least I’m past smog and have plates and registration.

I wonder if that EV conversion might be possible before the next smog is due.

 

It's 3pm on a Thursday and I just came home moderately intoxicated. Hooray for summer weather, nearby breweries, and responsible wives

 

Sounds like an epic thursday! What were you sipping on?? All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine

 

even more together

 

Wait - I thought these pictures were of MR2 engine? That looks kinda bigger than an MR2???

 

Can't stop staring at that sexy piece of equipment. The Snapon tool cabinet, not the MR2 engine. Although it's nice too.

 

@Siebler I figure you could probably appreciate this. Sometimes you go out hunting for them, sometimes they come to you.

Just noticed this when I walked out to get the mail. 95% sure it's a pearl oyster, 1/2" under this spot there's a 30" wide Hackberry stump I cut down 4ish years ago and sodded over two seasons ago, probably reinforces that. No visible stem, so pretty sure it's not an elm.

 

Definitely oyster. I would invite that in and name it supper. Yummy.

 

It's got another day of hanging out before it makes it to the table. Let it go from $10 size to $20 size.

 

I'm too old for epic Thursdays this was just catching up with my brother over some drinks and lunch.

Gotta love when a quick lunch turns into a 2-3 hour visit. It’s almost a sure thing when you say “wanna eat at the brewery?”….. of coarse I want to eat at the brewery!

 

Have been busy battling for a house this week, looks like I missed a lot. Ministry of truth department has been working overtime. It's funny watching the select few train loaders cheer it on. Good reminder there is a whole entire real world outside of here.

 

Friday poll idea? Will @chrisb and @Darkness grace us with their presence after their court ordered vacation?

 

Just tag them in every new post you make so that they don’t miss anything when they come back. They’ll have a notification for each and every post. You’re welcome @chrisb and @Darkness

 

Oh? Is that true @Darkness @chrisb

 

Who the hell was cheering it on? I think pretty much everyone around here genuinely likes @chrisb and @Darkness presence more than most other posters.
