    preparing oysters

    No, haven't had the pleasure. I don't get Uptown that much anymore, unless it's a special occasion or something. I've wanted to try that hot dog place on Freret for a while, but haven't made it by yet. I did try Truburger on Oak St. a few months ago, and it was fantastic.

    preparing oysters

    The old guard New Orleans restaurants, which all serve essentially the same traditional dishes, are Antoine's, Arnaud's, and Galatoire's. Stella! is great but very expensive. August is also very popular (John Besh's main joint). It depends on what you like. Commander's, Brigstein's...

    What is this, and why is it melted to my exhaust manifold?

    The day after having some work done at the dealer, I noticed a burning smell while driving around. While looking around, I noticed what the arrow is pointing to in the pic below. Is that a breather tube? It either melted itself on to the exhaust, or somebody "right stuff"ed it purposefully...

    Caliper Bolts - was I supposed to use loctite?

    So in your opinion is it worth going back in there to loctite the bolts?

    Caliper Bolts - was I supposed to use loctite?

    Because I didn't. Should one use loctite on the 4 caliper bolts on a DII? Thanks.

    defender search

    I think the correct answer is to spend loads of time on D90 and learn everything you can, so that you can then evaluate all for sale defenders from any source. I found mine locally, but wouldn't have known what to look for if not for hours spent on D-90.com.

    NFL Week 7

    These defensive guys are such pussies. They spend their entire careers hitting people, being on the attack, etc. Flip the script just a little bit and they whine like punks. Like no defender has ever hit a receiver who was stretching for the ball and wasn't looking at the incoming hit. Or...

    NFL Week 7

    We got smoked. Must have been looking forward to going to England to play the chargers or something. I don't understand how Sean Payton stops calling running plays, when it's obvious the Panthers aren't even attempting to stop the run. He played right into John Fox's hands. See you later in...

    NFL Week 6

    Hochuli sucks. He ruined the Denver-San Diego game, messed up a Panthers game, botched the Saints-Vikings, and now this. The Rams over the Skins was a fluke. Haslett will have that team in even more of a shambles by years end, and the defense will struggle under Venturi. Saints looked good...

    I felt bad for him too. He almost had a third punt return for a touchdown, but he tripped over the fleur dis lis logo on the field. :banghead:

    NFL Week 5

    lol. Sean Payton is one of the foremost offensive gurus in the league. The Saints have had a top 5 offense since Payton has been here. Reggie is being used better here than he would be anywhere else. We are still the Saints, though, and will find ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    NFL Week 5

    Frerotte got lucky when he threw one up for grabs to one receiver and his other receiver ran under it. Not to mention the missed facemask call on Reggie's fumble, and the non-fumble call on Adrian Peterson. But whatever. The Saints had more than enough chances to win. You can't turn it over...

    Can a hard top easily be converted to a soft top??

    The soft top thing gets old after a while anyway. I have station wagon envy. Somebody should start a swap database, where ST guys could swap with SW guys after the shine wears off. Problem is, eventually everyone would want a SW I think.
