T-Bone Toms open in Kemah
T-Bone Toms restaurant, which has been in business since 1974, is back open again after sustaining devastating damage from six feet of water during Hurricane Ike.
The interior is all brand new with new tables, walls, new equipment, new coolers, plus a new computer system, mini blinds, etc.
Owners Barry and Melissa Terrell and their employees painted, spray-washed and repaired walls, roofs, floors and ceilings. General contractors repaired the electrical system, plumbing, interior wall texturing and finishing. There’s even a new lunch counter.
Astronaut Clay Anderson was there on opening day with space station memorabilia and personal items from his five months in space to help them celebrate.
The Terrells invite all to come on down. Live bands start again in February and crawfish arrive in January.
Special foamis top invention
The 2007 NASA Commercial Invention of the Year is a multi-use foam that insulates for sound, heat and cold with aerospace and down-to-earth applications.
“Polyimide Foam” can be flexible or rigid, structural and non-structural and is highly durable. The foam’s density can be varied for a variety of uses including fire protection since it generates no harmful combustion products and has been tested at temperatures above 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
For future exploration vehicles, the foam can be used where reduced weight and increased durability are necessary for missions to the moon or Mars.
The inventors, Roberto Cano, Brian Jensen and Erik Weiser of NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., and Miguel Vazquez of Polyumac Techno Core, Inc. of Hialeah, Fla., will be honored by NASA in early 2009.
IHOP batters up for charity
IHOP, one of America’s favorite pancake houses, plans to serve millions of free pancakes in celebration of National Pancake Day on Feb. 24.
Besides bringing family and friends together, the celebration is designed to raise $1 million for the Children’s Miracle Network, a non-profit dedicated to helping children’s hospitals and other worthy causes.
Nearly 1,400 IHOPs will serve up a free short stack of IHOP’s signature buttermilk pancakes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. In return, guests will be asked to donate what they would have paid for the free pancakes, or more, to their local children’s hospital or another worthy cause.
