Nice. We have a GC out this way. Maybe I will check it out. There is also a Joes Crab Shack, but I don't know if its any good. Never been to one.

Caliper grease is good to have. When was the last time you checked the brake fluid?

earlier this week Tim. Looked fine. But I will probably get a brake system flush in the next few months anyway. The pads look almost new.

Joes are ok if you like boiled seafood. They have a bucket menu, where you get a bucket full of snow crabs, mussels, corn, and shrimp. I'm from Md, so it was so-so, but I can see if I were hungry for seafood, I'd be all over that

The meal tonight was exceptionally good. Golden Corral regrouped, they were getting pretty bad for a while. I'll return, the food was great, and the help was terrific. Nice tip left.

Yeah, we switched it up here last couple of times. My buddy's place is not as good as it used to be. Seems like he's lost interest in it.
Good to try new stuff once in a while

You and the family will like Joe's
Kind ofa cross between Red lobster, and Dave's.
They have a decent menu, I just get the bucket meals because I like seafood.

Brake fluid loves water so I like to keep an eye on it.

Good morning VA!

I hope all of you are having a great day out there. Plenty cold here and more snow on the ground. I hate winter.

Pat!! It's going great buddy!

Been hating the weather here and wishing for an early spring. In that last snow storm, we had 19" and it was miserable. Otherwise, all is well and I'm at the rock pile for the day. BUT, I see myself sneaking away a little early today.

How is everything in your world?
