BIRMINGHAM THREAD (Home of the 2022 World Games & a Better Place to Visit than Serbia)

You don’t see it a lot because of ciguatera toxicity.

 

how do restaurants account/mitigate it when serving?

 

My guess is they serve fish from more northerly latitudes vs the tropics, but I don’t know for sure.

 

Isn’t it pretty specifically reef fish? So more open water fish probably are safer.

 

I caught mine in the southern Atlantic

 

Turks and Caicos…guide took it home.

 

i caught my barracuda on lay lake

 

Lake Martin off a yacht?

 

I'll try to make this one last thing about it. She had a great time but my mom ordered chicken

 

Anyone got a rec for a good, quick glass company? Our front door succumbed to the inevitable teenager accidentally ramming his elbow into it. We're tempted to get a wood door, but that's really a little later style than our house (~1910). It's one pane, approx. 24" x 48".

 

I know someone but it might not be quick

 

Feel free to PM. Duct tape's got me OK for now, but I'd like to get rid of the masonite contrast pane as quickly as possible. I just don't know anyone, and will start calling in the AM, I guess.

 

Nelson glass maybe?

 

Yeah, got an appointment with them this afternoon, and One Two gave me a ref of a friend, too.

 

Nelson Glass is pretty great. They can do just about anything you need.

 

Came out, measured...nothing done until Monday, though.

 

My boss man told me today that he caught a small one trapped in a tidal pool on Dauphin Island with an old milk jug many years ago. He was a marine biologist and preserved it in a jar.

 

That’s actually Clown Baby’s room

 

The whippet canister really brings it all together.

 

Anyone have a sprinkler system guy/recommendation? Last guy “winter-ized” mine and I can’t get him to come back and turn it back on.

 

Wouldn't it just need a pipe wrench somewhere? I have no idea what I'm talking about, but maybe ask in the homeowner thread to make sure it's not something DIY that'll take you five minutes.

 

Call your landscaper

I opened the valve, and the pressure was messed up…there’s a secondary cut off, the system has 4 different zones, it needs to be programmed, etc…

I threatened to call someone else and he’s coming out tomorrow.

 

We need to get Wiley, I mean Stone Cold Steve Austin, to try and review all of these on camera for us.

 

Do NOT call Mr. Sprinkles. Bad experience there.

 

For the edification of the non Braves Bham thread members, Stone Cold Steve Austin recently started a new gig as an on the field/stadium broadcaster with the Braves

 

Please refer to him (Wiley/SCSA) by his new moniker, that milkshake boy, as well.

 

I’d imagine the owner of a company that he voluntarily named Mr Sprinkles probably has several restraining orders

 

The company’s sticker was on my system when I bought my house, so I called him thinking they could handle it. Mr. Sprinkles could not. Asked the guy who sold me the house about Mr. Sprinkles and he laughed at me and said why did you call that guy.

 

The commute from Birmingham to Atlanta is ruining my life

 

Why would you call mister sprinkles you fool!

 

Should have said you were a bit rusty

Sorry for your loss Barves2125

 

Anyone got a good electrician?

This guy rules

Oh my god, it even has a watermark

 

My attempts to reach [email protected] have been unsuccessful.

I have found a Mr. Sparky online who services the Bham area, but after my experience with Mr. Sprinkles for my sprinkler system, I’m skeptical.

 

i have used sparky in the past he was solid

 

Chez Fonfon tonight. I will be having a slice of coconut cake all to myself

 

I’m always Trout Amandine + coconut cake.

 

Pretty cool that it’s perfectly legal to park anywhere downtown if you turn your hazards on.

 

Recently opened Hilltop Liquor in Irondale has a pretty strong bourbon selection if anyone is in the market.

 

Where in Irondale?

 

By the new Publix at the roundabout. Where Grants Mill and Old Leeds meet.
