Re: Plumbing & Wiring Redo
I'm traveling. I'll be posting more when I get back.

Re: Places You Have to Eat
I love Waffle House. My wife's convinced that must put crack or something in the waffle's with pecans. Only bad thing is they closed the one down the road from my brothers and turned it into a diner.
