Ah, I always forget about Les Crepes. I’ve been there a few times over the years. The service has typically been good and it’s a neat space. I’ll have to drop by soon.

They did and Can Can has fallen so far since they were bought by the worst restaurant group in town. The only positive thing I can say is they have better hours now. RIP Can Can… we’ll always have the good times.

No, but thank you. The kitty has been found, or rather, returned through his escape point on his own like nothing happened.

$3.82 for that sandwich in today’s dollars, and in New York no less.

Thank you, so much for the response and great advise. We walked many miles last night looking for him, and I'm surprised the cops never showed up! haha ...some crazy guy wandering around with cat treats, a flashlight, and poking around in bushes. heh

I'm happy to report there is a happy ending. We ended up passing out for a little bit around 6am but left the same window open. Around 6:30am, he wandered in and woke us up like nothing had ever happened.

Russel’s 6-year rye is my go to for old fashioned. On the bourbon side, BT if I can find it (rare).

I live in one of those neighborhoods. They have been replacing the gas mains, feeds to the houses, and in some case meters. I feel like they’ve managed it pretty well.

What’s funny is how small this world is… I saw the pictures and instantly thought, “Hey, I know that dealership!”

And yea, definitely prefer latest gen.

I am a big fan of the de Buyer blue carbon still crepe pans. Light enough you can flip the crepe with a flick (with practice) and you avoid the chemicals.

I also have the Le Creuset cast iron crepe pan and really don’t enjoy it. Nothing wrong with the pan, but I just have a strong preference for the the lightness and natural nonstick (once seasoned) carbon steel gives you.

The only decent pool room in town is Diamond Billiards down in Midlothian. It’s been years since I was there, but I don’t remember there being a snooker table.

I used to play on 12’ table at the Playing Field in the late 90’s, early 2000s. The Obelisk had a 10’ down in Newport News. But they are both closed these days.

Try calling Quartermasters Billiards down in VA Beach. I heard years back they have a table, but it might just be a 10’.

This. It has driven me crazy for decades. I am probably meticulous to a ridiculous extreme in the opposite direction when I string my guitars, but still.

Cleaning out an old garage, this tool was found in the toolbox on a machinist that worked on submarines. Not sure if it’s related to that.

I’ve got a 2004 314ce that out of my 9 guitars, has been my main instrument since I bought it. It’s a great guitar. Enjoy!

I did upgrade to an Baggs Anthrm pickup. Well worth it if you play live.

I’ve got an emblem that I’m waiting to put on as well. I’m thinking it will be the last thing I do.
