Thunderbird Club

In FL, we had Royal Castle(prolly copied WC?). Great little burgers, also did breakfast and had terrific chili. They tried to get more "family oriented" and lost out to BK(which started in Miami, btw). There is now one White Castle in FL, not far from Disney World. Every time I've tried to go there(I'm in Orlando every other week), the effing line of cars is around the block and the line to go inside is around the building. Nope!:rollno:
There is no fast food worth lining up for.
 
So I guess we’re doing Birds in boxes today…

I miss all the old drive-in burger places. In upstate NY, Lake Placid to be exact - there was a small one called "Custer, Mustard and Brew". "Big Boy" in Cincinnati, Superdawg in Chicago vacinity and of course A&W Root Beer Drive-Ins. As long as they have big icon/sculptures - I'm there!

Back when I lived in Silicon Valley, I did not eat drive thru food. I hated the Carl's Jr ads but liked the Jack in the Box ads. I hatched a plan to use the power of economics to get more JitB commercials and few CJrs ads. Go through the Carl's Jr and rob them then go through the Jack in the Box drive thru and hand them the money.

Would you like a series of questions to ask your doctor that will leave him/her questioning what he/she knows about cholesterol and the risk of heart disease? ;):laugh:

I’m off meat until Easter Sunday so I had prawns with a veggie stir fry, and received a lecture on cholesterol from my mate. :D
He had a heart attack and his cardiologist is savage on cholesterol for him. I said “6 prawns - I’ll risk it”
 
Tracked some drums today at my friend's studio. The drummer played to a click track and nailed the first song at take two (the first take was almost as perfect). The other song was rather complex with 5/4 and 11/8 parts plus one 7 among the fives. I hadn't ever heard the part he created to it but I trusted him and it was good. Again two takes because in the first one the overhead mic wasn't working...
Did I mention he has a well-tuned kit and the drum sound was basically done at the same time when the mics were checked?

A teaser:

Excellent. Very old school Yessish without being copycat or derivative.
