It was with the "i", same color scheme of the restaurant 

The one spelled with an “E” has outstanding oysters. Everything else is hit or miss.

That doesn’t look good @WeberWho

Fortunately this one passed over quickly. They were initially talking large hail. Winds picked up. 60mph winds around the area. Another round this afternoon. 

where are you @WeberWho

Minnesota. South of Minneapolis 

Looks pretty busy for you guys about 9pm and later. Lot's of red there, keep your head up.

@frazzdaddy Thanks for the heads up. We pulled vehicles in the garage last night. Will do the same again this evening.

It's been cooler up here lately. The heat and humidity is on the way. Bringing these storms with I guess.

@frazzdaddy My brother in law lives a couple miles from me. He caught the storm rolling in this morning on his GoPro.

I just saw a BGE commercial on CBS in Atlanta. That’s a first for me. Not a bad commercial either.

Looks like you went to the same "i" place that I did, good go with not getting sick!

The one that I go to is in Mobile, AL. I have a home right on the MS/AL line and when I’m over there I always hit Mobile.

One of the coolest experiences of my life was drafting a combine on my bicycle once. That right there is America at it’s finest.

@SGH those oysters look completely off the charts amazing. I may have to invent my own seal of approval for your upcoming posts - (not that it is worth much) - but I heartily approve none the leas.

Their oysters are fantastic. On a scale of 1-10 they are easily a 9. Chargrilled oysters have become so popular down here that most places have really stepped up their chargrilled game. The “Dragos benchmark” has been attained for the most part. With that said, the pinnacle is OceanA in New Orleans. Their chargrilled oysters with the white sauce is simply in a league by themselves. 
On a separate note, if you have a Seal Of Approval, I hope that I’m the first to receive it👍

And for the record, sitting out in my outdoor kitchen and having a cold beer and warming up the cookers - while listening to George Strait - is a good way to pass the time. 

How’s that for a long-a$$ run-on sentence.

I just ate a disappointing French onion steak risotto meal. It was one of those Kroger things. We like the egg roll in a bowl one, and a few others. This one sucked total ass.

Last time I ate wentzells oyster house I got food poisoning. It was the one in Pensacola that shut down. $5 dozens and $3 PBR pitchers 

Ah, those wonderful AF TDY days....

milesvdustin

We went every week on Wednesday for two years for $5 dozens of oysters raw and $3 pbr pitchers. At least 3 or 4 of both would be had between my wife and I. 

One week we had it, got sick, two weeks later they were closed and that was that. 

I'm still a little wary of oysters.

She was the closing act on one of the evenings at Bourbon & Beyond a couple of years ago.

Most people left prior to her appearance on stage and her diva comments cleared out about the rest of the event patrons.

I think there were about 20,000 in attendance prior to her stage set, and MAYBE 500 remained when we left. 

Tolerable with Fleetwood Mac, not so much on her own.

She created a traffic jam on River Road as people tried to escape.

Was joking with a coworker but he came in early so I didn’t get to finish. Had planned on doing everything.

@Lit we did that to a coworker as well years ago when he got married. Knowing we had 2 weeks, we started the day he left and went crazy.  We individually wrapped everything down to individual paper clips and each key on his keyboard. Yep- pulled off a key, wrapped it and put it back on. 

A few months later they got me better when I got married.  They took a cheese grater to hard styrofoam packing, making it look like it snowed in my cube about an inch. They even pull out the drawers to my desk some to get in there.  The static electricity made it that much more difficult to clean up. It took me hours and hours to get most of it, but I still found styrofoam the day I left that job a couple years later.  I also remember them saying that they were as covered in the styrofoam as the cube was when they were doing it.

Got to have fun at work!   Today I brought in root beer and ice cream for root beer floats.

I had a coworker tape Lifesaver breath mints as eyes on my motorcycle helemt. As soon as I saw my motorcycle helmet I knew who the culprit was. 

So later that day I thought I'd have a little fun with it. The culprit who taped the two Lifesavers on my helmet was sitting with a group of us at lunch. I'll say her name is Jane. When a break in conversation stopped at the table I put my game face on and acted real concerned that I had something to say. I go, "Does anyone know about the Lifesavers that someone taped on my motorcycle helmet?" No one answers. I knew Jane wouldn't admit to it initially. Than I say, "I think Sally did it. (Another coworker) I'm just wondering how I should bring this issue up with Sally? When I was removing the tape from the face screen of my helmet it peeled off my prescription coating. I can't see without it. (No such thing as a prescription screen or coating on a motorcycle helmet) I just got my prescription last week and it's $450 and now it's ruined. Why would Sally do something like this?" Out of the corner of my eye I can see Jane sink into her chair. Jane starts balling. She goes, "I'm so sorry. It was me. It wasn't Sally. I didn't know it was a prescription coating. Is there anyway I can pay you the $450 in smaller payments?" All in a sobbing tone a voice. Just streams of water coming from her eyes. Other coworkers seemed confused what is going on at this point. I start cracking up. I couldn't keep the joke going. She could have either took a swing at me after telling her it was a joke or jumped across the table and gave me a hug. She said, "I don't know how I would have gave you the $450. I was really hoping you would do a payment plan with me. I'm so happy it was joke!"

A month or so later I padlocked her lunchbox to the grate of the refrigerator at work. I completely forgot about putting the padlock on her lunchbox. When walking into the lounge for lunch I see the whole refrigerator grate sitting on the table in front of her with her lunchbox padlocked to it. She literally removed the whole grate from the fridge so she could get her lunchbox to the table. I was dying from laughter inside but played it off. I said, "What happened?" She said, "Someone padlocked my lunchbox and this was the only way I could get my lunchbox over here". I said, "That's weird". I was never questioned or admitted to that one. Good times...

Dropped the kid at camp, stopped by the deli for breakfast on the way home.

Spending most of my professional life in automotive shops, I have seen a lot of ingenious pranks pulled. I once filled a coworkers car completely with Styrofoam peanuts. It was a lot of peanuts. He never did figure out how they got in the car. The oneupmanship was legendary.

House shopping. This one scored an extra point for the outdoor kitchen with wood fired oven...meh on the gasser, but plenty of room for the eggs.
