Me too. It was part of my honeymoon. Left there and went to Sugar Bowl to watch Auburn vs VA Tech. Wife is an Auburn fan, but a good one since I had a bowl game honeymoon. I guess that means this will be my 20th.
I went in 2002. They treated us like royalty. They had never seen that many motor homes show up before. They put a local news paper on the step of every motor home before we even woke up that morning. Great fans and one of my favorite trips. Then they beat us and their band is obnoxious.
I am old as well. I have played pick up basketball against Walter Lewis at UAH gym after his Alabama career was over probably late 80s. Have no idea why he was there.

I gave mine up before this year. They really wanted my lower level seats more than I did. They finally found my price point. Those seats were transferred to me in 92 and I sat in them long before that. Hope they like all these fair weather fans more than those of us that sat through the bad years. I went 21 years without missing a home game at one point. Then they sucked all the fun out of it.

Laceys Spring is just south of the river and if you aren’t worried about schools anymore it’s on the cheaper side and you can find acreage if you want. There is an Arsenal gate on the south end and you can avoid most of the traffic and get out of town. That gate is currently closed due to COVID, but it will open when everyone comes back to work. I live further south after living in Madison for 13 years. When I go back there I am happy I don’t live there anymore. Too much traffic and stress. Once you get out of Huntsville and Madison, the people are just nicer. My whole attitude changes everyday as soon as I cross the river bridge headed south.
Myself and a few friends use the hammock seat and really like it. Very comfortable and several deer have been killed using it.

Don't use it on your Polaris ranger, it will bend your receiver hitch into your rear differential. I started using a pull behind disk instead. I will never put the ground hog back on again.

I used the Fusion spray paint for my jeep fender flares and it has held up nicely for 3 years. It was spray paint though, not brush on. It is my understanding that they quit making it? I did the dash in my jeep last year and used rustoleum American accents 2x ultra cover spray paint and it has held up well so far. It was suggested as a replacement for the fusion.
ETA:
Prep is very important. Wash with Dawn, then wipe well with alcohol before you paint.
Neither do the coaches. If you don't trust your quarterback to throw from the 50, replace him.

I did a lot of reading on this 2 years ago and wound up with the Broil King Baron. The decision comes down to Weber vs Broil king I love mine and have had zero problems with it.

Do not ever buy a Whirlpool Cabrio. My only advice.

In the GS pay scale if you come in as a GS12 step 1 you will get a step in crease every year until step 5 or 6, after that it is every 3 years until you top out at step 9. This is in addition to COLA. If you want a GS13 job, it is not just a promotion, you have to find a GS13 job opening, apply for it and compete for it. There are other pay scales now like NSP and ACQDEMO that are being experimented with which I like where an organization gets a pot of money and disperses it based on merit.
