They'll break the all time record soon with that sensor and it will forever be in the record books. It should have an asterisk beside when they do

I understand the argument behind using another sensor, but I assume they continue using it with data continuity in mind when comparing to historical data (which I also understand). Same for the ATL sensor.
 
I was out on hwy 64 going from Cary to Pittsboro. Constantly 96-98 degrees on car thermometer. Took the back roads past Jordan Lake to Pittsboro (Beaver Creek Rd, Pea Ridge Rd, to Hanks Chapel Rd) and it was in the 86-88 degree range on those roads. With the top and doors off the Jeep, you could feel the cool air. Amazing what trees and shade can do!!!! Loved it!!! 😍

I can’t buy a bite here surf fishing at the OBX. Water is plain cold. Anybody know how to rig your rod for Arctic Narwhal? I guess I’ll just keep drinking

Amazing how location makes such a big difference. I was at Cherry Grove the last week of May and it felt like bathwater. Enjoy the ocean buddy!!!
 
Well, another busted forecast with regards to storms here. Level 2 risk and 80% chance of a watch turned into no watch and hardly any storms.
 
I need some help. What’s the best BBQ restaurant close to Chapel Hill??
 
I know a lot of y'all travel a good bit so I've got a rental car question. Is there a rental car company out there that you absolutely would avoid? We're heading out west end of this month for 9 days, I've booked a rental but cancelled twice due to change in dates but now I'm seeing some less expensive alternatives popping up in my search but I'm not familiar with all of them. Any thoughts?

You should go with hertz or rent a wreck

I'd never do that but I've never rented a car on my own so I'm probably not the best for advice

Lol thanks for the "help". I've been looking at SixT, they are way cheaper than any other rental and after reading hours of reviews I believe they legitimately are "rent a wreck". Horror stories with that one. Rentals are expensive, geez

Everything is expensive. It's called inflation.

I remember back in the day you could rent a top of the line Geo Metro for about 100$ a week

I used SixT in Ireland last year. My only issue was that I filled the car with gas upon return and had to get that cost taken off, other then that it was fine. Domestically I've mainly stuck with enterprise directly, never had a problem with them. I've heard negative things about Dollar and Budget.

Thanks. When you get to looking at reviews you can read negative things about all of them, I guess most people take the time to write negative reviews but probably don't bother with writing good ones.

That’s generally the case. My brother travels more then I do and said SixT was better in Europe then the US, which would confirm your negative reviews.

I’ve always used Hertz and never had an issue. They did gig me on all the New England toll roads but I knew it was coming.
 
I can usually take heat pretty well. Um .. May have screwed up today. Went out to play golf. (11AM)

Despite, downing a poop ton of water I realized something was wrong.

After hole 15 I started feeling weird like chills, fatigue and a sharp knife like headache. Wanting to foolishly try to man up I at 18 I finally stayed in the cart.

My brother was neck and neck from winning with two of our buddies. I stopped sweating. Seriously, barely able to move I carefully considered an ambulance! But, didn’t want to interfere with a close finish. SMH

Good news, I’ve had a miserable day recovering and rehydrating. I’m just starting to feel better.

Message … Listen to your body and don’t do a stupid thing like I did. Still questioning wether or not hitting an urgent care. 🔥🔥

Dehydration is no joke. I had that once overseas and had the worst headaches I've ever had... took days to recover. They'll probably give IVs if you go somewhere. If you stay home sports drinks can be a big help, mix with some water. Plenty of rest. Fruit might help too... apples, watermelon. Stay safe man.

Yeah once you stop sweating it's bad sign. Glad your recovering but getting checked out not a bad idea, there can be lingering issues. If you don't get checked how about stay in all day today 👊😏

Went out today just to hit a few buckets of balls to try to recover the swing after getting COVID for the past two weeks. At the end could barely move my arms. I think the combo of COVID hangover and heat weighed on me pretty bad, and left me feeling like crap.
