  1. And of course this was written too quickly. it's only a couple of bolts - like 8 that hold it to the stanchions. There is a strip inside the windshield with threaded holes for the bolts. That plate gets put back when you "build" the new windshield. Off course 7 bolts fit and one is off Right now I plan to go with 7. To move the plate would require disassembling the side of the windshield frame and that was exactly why I sent the frame to the garage. Not their fault. You can see the hole in the frame but the bolt doesn't catch. With hindsight I should have put those bolts in the frame before sending but did not. each side has four bolts. Really can't figure out why three line up and the fourth does not but I doubt it will matter. Going to try one of two things to see if I can move the plate slightly but am not going to disassemble the frame. The only thing behind the plate is the side of the new glass and I have no desire to crack it
  2. Just looked at weather. Later this week is 60/70 so I can reseal gas tank sending unit. Refuse to lie on ground in 20 degree weather plus sealants don't like suring in cold. WooHoo - hopefully back on road for 2025.
  3. Got my new windshield back. And by that I mean I drove to Michigan from Alabama and picked it up. Not trusting UPS on this. All it takes is one drop and right back to where i started. It usually is an easy drive up there but this one had winter rain most of the time. However it is done. Installing should take five minutes - just a few bolts holding the complete windshield to support arms.
  4. Crap. heading to Michigan Wednesday to pick up a windshield for my old car. Right now it is 17 in North Alabama so maybe warmer up there. Just went and grabbed my ski jacket and other stuff for the journey.
  5. I just looked and Marriott has a couple of choices right now. Downtown seems sold out
  6. Mental image from last week of the raccoon passed out by the toilet.
  7. fify - When anyone says it's not about the money, it's definitely about the money.
  8. Jimmy Sexton to white courtesy phone..... Totally depends on contract. A lot of them have specific schools mentioned in their contract with out clauses. It seems a lot of coaches add an "out" for the school they graduated from.
  9. I had a similar statement in writing for my old British MGA. The manual for the carburetors stated - turn this nut until it sounds correct.
  10. Some stuff on AU forum about Sumrall's agent starting an auction with Fla. Auburn went to Golesh and he accepted. Feel sorry for Sumrall's wife- she probably wanted to return to AU. Looking more at Golesh's history and liking it. Born in Russia (actually Soviet Union) but moved the good ole USA as part of the breakup. He has done very well with offense which we need. Saw comments from Huepel at Tennessee that were very promising on a decent offense. Plus someone posted that the current AU quarterbacks came out of the team meeting with big smiles
  11. which is why he wants a 7th or 8th year. Obviously a pay cut in NFL
  12. I wanted Sumrall and wondering what happened there. Grew up in Alabama (same high school at different times), wife graduated from Auburn etc. Guessing with no evidence that Florida money whipped him and Auburn wouldn't match. However it looks like we keep the DC and his defense was pretty good this year. The offense was a dumpster fire until Freeze was let go. There is some talent there if they can get anyone for the OL. I can't remember the exact details but the last few years of Malzahn and Harsin had a total of something like 7 (yes seven) total OL in 5 years. Freeze improved on this but it was so deep in the muck that it still effects us. All the new guy has to do is establish the offense.
  13. Correct but John Towers was a real piece of work. In WW2 the air advocates (both Army and Navy) were convinced that every weapon should be a plane and nothing else was needed.
