    The places around here use the second windows during peak hours, and it significantly speeds things up. Plus, then the people handling your food don't handle money, which is always good. All the McDonalds here now have two drive through lanes, so two people can order at once. Also speeds...

    He's a dick, to be sure, but he didn't break a stated rule. If he persists, then a shaw is justified. If he shuts the hell up, let it ride.

    And drop ceilings have evolved a lot. You can put them in with as little as about a half inch clearance. They also look a lot better than they used to. The finished part of my basement has a finished ceiling, but if I had done it, it would have a drop ceiling. I might still do this when I do...

    That's interesting. I guess that's not something you could accomplish over charcoal. A hot frying pan could do it, though. Also, rest your steaks longer than 10 minutes, man.

    His work inGood Morning, Vietnamwas really inspiring. He had virtually no script when he was on air, and he came up with much of it on the spot. Fully immersed himself in the culture of the time enough to crack wise about historically accurate facts. What a funny, tortured man. It's a shame.

    Epic project going on here. Friends of ours have children that are all off to university, and they have this tree house in the back yard. It's 9 feet off the ground, on a huge deck. The tree house itself is 8 x 8 feet, and it has a 3 foot deck on the front and one side, and a 8 foot deck off...

    Complex. Sounds awesome, though. I prefer any prepared meat with a bone in it to be in the state where it falls off when it comes to my plate. T-bone steak being the obvious exception. But even then, it shouldn't be work to pull it away from the bone. I'm coming to your place next weekend...

    Harbor Freight sells an inexpensive signal sender which you can attach to any wire, and then trace it pretty easily. That might be a good next step. See if you can't find something else that is inline with that box. That might give you some insight as to what's going on there. The wires are...

    The only Hardees near me are in travel plazas on the toll road, and everything everyone I know has had from them sucks the balls of immigrant donkeys. Awesome. We took them out to a couple things, too. No one would have more than a couple. If that flavour stays, I'm going to mail them poop in...

    Sounds good, sir. I have an apple dressing stuffed pork loin that was seared and will be in the slow cooker for about 6 hours. It's about 140 now, I'll let it get to around 150, then pull it out to let it rest for 45 minutes or so.

    A good comb over can make those pesky balding patches disappear. In all seriousness, I have a full head of hair, but I have many friends who have gone the buzz it off route. Some of them shave it entirely, some keep it incredibly short with clippers (like almost stubble short), some keep...

    I had Burger King for breakfast yesterday. The tater tot things are pretty good, but my sausage egg muffin was just terrible. I had about three bites, and threw the rest away. Bad texture, bad flavour, bad everything.
