Valid point. Gov Lee used cell phone data to justify to COVID-19 lockdown saying Tennesseans weren't staying home voluntarily. If that doesn't scare the #### out of you, nothing will. People scared of a vaccine implant and then carry a personal government intrusion device voluntarily everywhere we go.

This is often a common name for Saucer Magnolia due to the flower shape and size is very tulip like

Can look more tree like or more shrub like

I’ve seen saucer magnolias twice as tall as the one in the pic. Still consider a “small tree” in tree standards. It can be shrubby or have multiple stems but if managed can have single trunk

It’s hard to tell scale of the flowers in the pics but it sure looks like a Saucer Magnolia. It’s a Japanese flowering tree. Biggest giveaway is how early they bloom. Always the first ornamentals to flower

I had a TRP many years ago. Loved that gun, wish I still had it. Only sold it because I was poor and wanted a suppressor

explain what I'm looking at, besides a suppressed AR of some caliber.

what happened? Just an jump in income bracket? Its happened to me before. We moved to Knoxville got new jobs and pay rates, ended up owing several thousand come tax time. Bottom line standard withholdings will be woefully short as your income increases. anyway back to speculation on tire prices

That woman needs education on "shoot, don't shoot" decision making. I hate a thief, but don't think they should be shot

This FJ is almost perfect....just enough lift, great patina, not too shiny to drive in the woods. You're crazy if you sell it, but if you do, call me

I'd look pretty hard for one with a 22RE vs the 3.0. Reliability is night and day. I use Facebook marketplace and look all over the south. You can find one with all the seats ready to go if you just be a bit patient. Also be careful with a beater 1stGen, the rust you encounter might be way more than you bargain for

Dont leave us Toyota guys outta that

Wooly's Off-road is south of Nashville. Its basically a small private owned property. Its fun but not something I would do often. its pretty mild but can be sketchy in a few spots so be careful or go with someone knowledgeable the first time. Now for 1stGen 4runners we're opening a whole topic I can talk for days about. Are you familiar with the variants of years, what to look for and current market? Feel free to share any listings and I can give you my opinion if that's something you would like

Should be approved next week. Then how fast distribution takes will be a crap shoot.

yeah probably not for about 6 months. It certainly wouldn't hurt to take one but in light of limited supply if I had a know postive case I'd probably just wait until they are more readily available.

I never said it wasn't. I just said the idea that doctors and researchers would withhold viable medical treatments to make more money is laughable. Our advancement in cancer treatments alone in the last 20 years is a herculean effort. Have you seen this country lately? No one needs to withhold anything to ensure high demand for medical care is sustained, we eat, drink, and drug our way into plenty of need.

Is this a serious question? Ever heard of HPV vaccine? It’s gonna save millions of women from cervical cancer in the coming generations. “Cancer” isn’t just one thing. It’s hundreds or thousands. As the husband of a physician it’s pretty offensive (not really I don’t care what y’all do or do not believe) that people think that cures would be suppressed for money. They amount of universal collusion it would require to keep that farce going is virtually impossible. Much like the idea that Covid-19 is a ploy to manipulate humanity. I just don’t believe that many people can all agree to follow the same plan for such a thing to be successful

I don't have the patience to read this whole thread but I feel confident people are being scared by hyperbole and misinformation. I can understand why we don't trust the government on the surface as its failed us too many times but I don't think we should apply that skepticism to the point of folly. We you say "we don't know the long term ramification of this vaccine" you haven't researched it very much. This is not new technology, its acutally over 30 years old. They've been researching this vaccine mechanism for a very long time. "So why haven't we had this type of vaccine before now?", because thankfully we haven't had a widespread pandemic significant enought to warrant the human trials. Ebola, Zika, West Nile are all candidates but infections were not enough to be able to study the results (thank God, aint nobody want Ebola). The biggest concern with the vaccine is allergic response. Yes you will feel bad the day after, especially the second shot, but no you did not actually get COVID-19 from the shot. Its just your bodies immune system creating the defenses it needs to make you resistant in the future. The vaccine made it to production so quickly thanks to the 30+years of research before hand, without that it would likely not have happened. I can put my tinfoil hat on a empathize with those that are skeptical about the viruses origin and certainly how the government has leveraged us for its own gain to the determent of thousands of small businesses and personal finances across the country. But none of that leads me to a point where I don't want a vaccine. Obviously because I took one and get my second shot next Thursday and anxiously wait the opportunity to be "immuno-prepared" (i know that's not a word) for getting back to normal.

Well I said I would take one the moment it was available. Here it is.

Im actually shocked that anyone in fentress county hasn’t seen any hogs. We used to manage 25,000 acres up there and it was flat out covered with hogs. One neighbor farmer killed 35 in one weekend. as for Tennessee as a whole we have plenty of hogs but nothing compared to some other southern states especially Texas. A few years ago TWRA took hogs off the big game species list making them illegal to hunt. Now you can still kill them on private property and such but the biggest problem was commercial hunters and guides were transporting wild hogs all of the state to make a profit. So delisting the hogs made it easier to prosecute and cite anyone who had hogs. Hogs are one of those things that we’d never eradicate. Not enough hunters or trappers anymore to even make a dent.

yeah that's complete horse dung. Old boars can be very gamey and not very good to eat or even old sows can not be very good. But like @MacGyver said the younger or midaged ones are pretty good. I knew a guy in Crossville that loved to hunt them so much he had more meat than he could eat so he would give me sausage patties. They were so lean you would have to add a little oil to the pan when frying, but they were delicious.

My wife is a physician and she got hers last week. Her hospital is very similar to what @btq96r outlined above. One note on the question about mobile hospitals is even if they have the need they likely don't have the staffing to support one without using the national guard (which is possible) but I just don't think most states are to that critical state just yet. I agree with hospital front line staff getting it first as they are the most important defense at keeping most people alive, covid or non-covid related. The vulnerable population are close to follow and we should see an increase in availability soon. What we have to keep in mind is this is a 2 dose vaccine so when you hear numbers about total doses sent to states or regions they must reserve half of those for the second application otherwise this is all for not. I don't think at this point they can reliably expect to have enough doses in the future so they will set them aside now just in case. So if you hear news people losing their #### about officials setting doses aside or reserving them this is the reason.

Yeah those tops are very heavy, I can imagine taking them off was a huge pain. But now they have aftermarket soft tops which are super cool IMO

Man that is one clean 4runner. Might be too clean for what I need haha. I'd take a 22RE any day, but I will likely avoid the 3.0. It was an option in some 1988's and all 1989's and those years are less desirable for that reason. Many have swapped a 3.4 into those and had great results. My preference would be a 1985 that had both 22RE and solid front axle but those are getting hard to find in todays market
