Been to that italian place that blows glass or is that it?

No glass blowing. It is in one of the oldest building in downtown Edmond. It was originally the Edmond hospital. Now, Othello's, and it is fairly small. It is really good food, but pricey. It was a nice quiet place until a family came in with several kids.

They always have Frank Sinatra music quietly playing as ambience music. I bet the young employees really hate Sinatra music now. It is on some channel that is the Frank Sinatra channel and they play all his music. I am not a major fan of Sinatra, but his music is real music, and the man was truly a legend. Sinatra music is great as background music for Italian food.

I prefer AC/DC or ZZ Top, but that is not really a fine dining ambience music.

There used to be an Italian place in downtown Edmond that sold and did glass blowing. it was kinda like dinner and a show. Maybe they aren't doing the show now because of the distancing thing, or they didn't sell enough glass stuff.

[GH85Carrera]

There is no room for glass blowing. It is a small dining area.

[RKDinOKC]

the glass blowing was kind of next door, through some doors by the front.

You are thinking of a different place. It is long gone. It was on the east side of Broadway. This is right across the street from Weather's electronics. The same restaurant was Garfield's for years.

We love the place as they have great food, and when we go it is usually quiet with great service.

[RKDinOKC]

Pretty sure it was on the west side, but has been a long time.

Why do mowing the lawn/yardwork and beer go together so well?

[RKDinOKC]

Think it has something to do with sweat.

Are people supposed to use nipple lube or Nipple Balm?

Long ago there was a new pizza place that opened up in a strip shopping center close to my old house. The owners were friends of mine. Like any new restaurant it takes forever to get permits to get running fully. They opened up and started selling pizza, but the beer license was held up by some of the nearby residential areas protesting them selling beer. Actually it was one old lady that did not anyone having a beer. The real irony is right next door only separated by a firewall was a notorious strip joint that the bikers liked, and they sold tons of beer and of course that was the basis of their profits. So it was really a beer joint that had naked women dancing there just next door.

The restaurant went to court to get the liquor license approved. The judge looked at the owners, and said, pizza, beer. Thought a few seconds, and said license approved. Their profits went way up when they could sell a bottle of beer for four or five times their cost. They did still sell more pizza than beer, but the beer sales just made the extra profit needed in any small family owned business.

Morning all. Work is picking back up and wasting all my time. The county I live in hit phase 2 of reopen and everyone has gone nuts. We shall see ho long that lasts.

I have committed to playing around on the track at Hallett in a few weeks. No doubt I will be the slowest car on track. Most of the other folks have much more modern cars, and even track prepped cars. I will take the floor mats out, but that is about it. I did have to go ahead and order a new helmet. They require a helmet that is less than 10 years old. My favorite helmet is a Snell 1995 and the "new" helmet is a Snell 2005. The new one really muffles the sounds so I can't hear the engine like I prefer to.

It should be fun. It has been a long time since I had my car on that track and let loose to go full speed. I have run in in while driving the new cars from the dealership. They are tons faster, but they always keep things rather subdued when it is follow the leader thing.

[Porsche-poor]

Sounds like fun but not for me.

Last time I went to Hallett my brakes overheated and the pedal went thump to the floor doing over 140mph going into the Stop Sign. The fastest straight into the tightest corner. And i was working on late braking into corners! Thinking fast I did a scandanvian flick turning the car sideways. Turning it sideways really slowed it down quick so got on the gas and dirt tracked it sliding around the corner. Noticed the corner worker gave me two thumbs up. Took me the next 3 corners to figure out what happened. Slowed to let it cool a couple of laps and went to the pits.

After the session was over (4 laps), Kim Crumb the racing driver sought me out. Told me he was right behind me and saw what happend. Wanted to tell me "You only got so many of those in you." And walked off. He was there doing driver instruction.

[Porsche-poor]

yikes that will ruin undies and seats really quick.

Just got a text from a relator saying several people were interested in my house. Texted him back that I would happily accept one million dollars US as is.

[RKDinOKC]

Yeap, if you overshoot the stop sign, it is down hill about 20 ft into thick trees. Not really ideal for run off on the tightest corner from the fastest straight. I just kept looking at the apex of the turn! Understand you tend to make the car go where you look.

After that I replaced the rotors with frozen holey rotors and special pads and the rotors still got up to 750°F. But never got brake fade or air in the brake fluid again. Just had to get used to using the brakes hard to warm them up the first stop after setting for a while.
