A game I play with Mrs. Carrera is guess the restaurant you are thinking. We always eat out on Friday night. I was thinking some place we had not eaten at in a long time. It is an Italian place in the very middle of downtown, the corner of Main and Broadway. That is what she was thinking about! We had not been there in several years. Burp. Good chicken piccata. Burp.

Got my Expensive 65" Sony Bravia with all the internet connectivity stuff. It was worth it for keeping me entertained during my foot recovery. Everyone that comes over comments how good the picture is. Don't really use the internet connectivity stuff now, but was nice back the for the extra content it could access with Sony's movie network and being able search to pull movies off the internet. Now my Apple TV and Laptop can get everything except of the Sony Bravia rental stuff which was a dollar cheaper than anywhere else.

Oh and I basically use it for my media hub. Everything is plugged into it's hdmi and us it to switch between sources.

Haven't rented a movie since got Kodi.

If I got something else I would want to get something BIGGER!

Cool Bike.

Growing up our next door neighbor was one of 4 brothers. 2 sets of twins and the all looked pretty much alike. The all had Sportsters. They all looked pretty gruff. In his spare time the neighbor painted bikes. Remember his brothers coming over and them all roaring off on their Harleys.

It's about as loud as my last Ducati, which makes sense since they're both air-cooled V-twins with minimal exhaust baffling and similar displacement. But the Duc had a much more refined tone.

Not much going on with the thread.

We ate at Kevin Durant's place today. It is next door to Toby Kieth's place. Good food.

I had dinner with pelican 9dreizig. Todd and his better half are in Az so we got together. They wanted to go to Alice Coopers restaurant. It's was ok, decent food more about the memorabilia in the place...


The restaurant is right across from the stadium where the Suns play. They suck so bad this year we could get parking and walk right in to get a table on a home game night! That would never happen in OKC!!!

Had some home made nachos with mozzarella cheese, pizza pork topping, and jalapenos. They called them Notorious Nachos when they added them to the menu by popular demand when I was in college. The difficult part is getting pork topping like they use at pizza places.

Had ice cream for dessert, just in case.

Just saw where Sienfeld is selling 16 of his Porsches including a 550, 918 RSK, 917, 962C, and Carrera GT. Also a VW bus and VW bug at the Amelia Island Auction. They are saying it is from 10 to 15 million worth of cars. Says he doesn't have enough time or room for them all and wants some property. He currently has 47 Porsches.

Looks like he has also listed his 18M house in Colorado. Must want some cash for something.

Seinfeld is worth something like 800 million so all of that stuff is still a drop in the bucket to him. The list of cars I saw is worth more than 15 million. I'd be surprised if they went for less than 30 million!

Saw a statement from him that he just didn't have time for them all and wanted to pass them on. Probably has something else he wants to play with. All the cars he's selling are super exotic, not cars you would be able to play with anymore anyways.

He is fairly secret as to just what he has in his collection, at least there is not a list I can find on the internet. Out of the 47 the cars he is not selling is a second Carrera GT, the 918 Hypercar, the 959, and the first and last air cooled 911s.

He got one of his 911 RSR's backed into by a chick in a BMW while parked in the Hamptons a little while back. He seems a little upset and a comment about hearing the classic metal crunch. Most of the cars for sale are rare old cars, racers, and the Carrera GT prototype. Probably decided 47 is a little much.

The house in Colorado is big, maybe 18 cars is how many it's garage holds.

We are making a run to the grocery store to buy the stuff to make chili and some dip. The couple coming over don't like spicy food so we have to make real bland chili.

I can add some Tobasco to mine to give it some bite. I don't want serious spicy but chili that tastes like ketchup is a waste.

Than we will watch the Super bore. I wonder why it is not super bowl L? For 49 years they use Roman numerals and now they change to regular numbers. I hope there are some decent commercials this year. Last year had some lame commercials.

I don't watch football so the SB means nothing to me.


It's going to be close to 50 here so I am throwing steaks on the grill later. Wifey doesn't like steak so she gets chicken.

Going to pick up the fallen sticks from the yard and burn 'em up.

I make small batches of stove top chili all the time. Just make 2 batches. One hot and one mild. You can use the left over mild stuff to put on hot dogs.

They made it SB 50 because the graphics genius' couldn't make an L they like so they justified using 50 by saying most Americans wouldn't know it was the Roman numeral 50. People would probably just think it meant Large.

Not really into football on really understand why I should be. Went to all my HS football and basketball games because I was in band. Mainly used them as a chance to get drunk and do a make out session after.

Also since commercials now take up half the air time for a show don't like them either. The same commercials over and over usually put me to sleep before the show comes back on. Really like the cord cutter stuff, no ads. That one that says if you had every dollar they saved you would have...pause...a ton of dollars, always irritates me. If you actually had a ton of dollars, it would be just over $908K dollars!

Think they ought to change to just putting the sponsors logo in the lower right corner like they do the station identification and upcoming show ads. And/or go to Blip Verts like in Max Headroom and legally limit the commercial air time per hour.
