I enjoyed the F&DB mini-GT. I was looking for your booth and found the group chatting about TD and your bread. One loaf of the White Chocolate is already devoured, the other (thank you, you really didn't have to do that) is sliced up and in the freezer.
To the group, Mr. Rabbit is quite the talker when it comes to both the legacy and current BTR restaurant scene, as I suspect he's seen a thing or two.

re: Ace Hardware provides one of the best shopping experiences in 2026 America
Posted by DoctorTechnical on 1/9/26 at 6:08 pm to weagle1999
My only beef has been when -- long-ago during the early stages of wokeism -- ACE changed their classic radio jingle from "with the helpful hardware man" to "helpful hardware folks".
To this day it still just doesn't sound right.
Also miss the original Southdowns Hardware on Perkins, and it's short-lived replacement up the road in the Acadian Perkins Plaza Shopping Center.
Yeah I know: old man mumbles at cloud.

Did the best they could do representing the ongoing f'd up view of the LSU Lake surrounding the house.

In my craft, we receive and ship lots of electronics. Best I can tell you is to use stiff foam (almost but not Styrofoam) to suspend the unit by securely supporting the sides, to the point where the top and bottom are not touching the box. You'll need to cut out a "well" on each side, being careful that the left- and right-most buttons do not support any weight. Rotate your box in three dimensions and see if you head anything loose. And as has been said before: double-boxing is your friend.
re: Cochlear Implants - Any Experience With Them?

quote:I enjoyed when he would tech-talk about the implants, Apparently listening to music was completely borked, given the tech at that time which rendered a non-harmonic metallic sound. Conversation required adjusting some presets depending on the background noise. What he hinted at was plugging headphones and cellphones directly into his ears, via the transponder.
Rush Limbaugh was grateful for his.

An acquaintance from my time back in Birmingham has made a good business with his two locations in BHM and TUSC.

Met Arlo Guthrie at a West Palm radio station back in the 90's. He could not have been nicer, even while knowing we only played his song once per year at noon on Thanksgiving.
Guess he still got some good mailbox money from all of the US radio stations that played it once per year.

Yep. Sunshine Super Stop Truck Stop. Enter 12091 LA-70, Convent, LA 70723 into Google Maps. Scroll down on the left panel until you get to photos, then select Inside. Look above the counter on the right side.
Not my photo, and I couldn't get the image to imbed, but it's there. What I remember is that they bought all of the FT labelled cups, etc., along with the recipe. Now that was 20-30 years ago. But the image is from two years ago, so who knows?

On the far chance that y'all may want to hang with the T-Town hipster crowd -- and that you like fancy boiled peanuts -- stop in at the Alabama Peanut Company around the corner from Chucks on 23rd Ave for some peanuts and craft-cerveza.

Do the lights in some of your rooms blink or just vary in brightness when heavy appliances like the washing machine kick in? Have an electrician look into the bonding of your neutral to ground -- as well as the connection of your ground rod to... well... ground.
Happened my my old house years ago. In my case the crap from birds on my drop wire had broken the messenger cable, a-k-a ground back to the pole. Entergy fixed it quickly.
