My wife and I currently live in lower Chicago-land Illinois. My parents have lived in northern Alabama for the last almost 25 years.
Dad had a regular doctor appointment last week and while there had the dr look into a cough he'd had for the whole winter. Long story short on this - dr ordered a CT scan and one of dads lungs has a mass 5.3 cm ,the other lung has a few to several nodules . They go back this wednesday for another test, scope and biopsy same day visit. Dad said not to worry yet but it can't be helped.
Wife and I were already planning on moving down there but not for another 5 yrs when I am scheduled to retire early. We decided in short notice that we need to move now and give them as much help as possible. My 20 yr old son ,who just moved in with us, is coming too. I asked him if he was ok with the move and he said , how soon are we going? Hes got half his stuff packed already.
I work construction (union carpenter) for the last 24 years . Last few years have been slow to spotty and well, we are both tired of these IL winters and stupid Chicago biased IL politics.
I'll be looking for steady work down there as soon as possible . If anyone lives down there and knows any companies hiring steady I'd sure appreciate it.
Side note -New location is in a dry county ,so I'm taking my brew rig with so if theres a LHBS (or brew club south of Huntsville,AL)would be nice, dont want to have to rely on internet orders.
Thank you all
