I was at a little restaurant/bar a few years ago in Iowa or Missouri. Damn they had good duck bites. Delicious.

I just looked it up to refresh my memory. It was Quackers Bar and Grill in Mound City, MO. Google maps says they are "temporarily closed". Damn.

would a Quakers bar only serve oatmeal, or would it be run by quakers?

I guess I have to claim responsibility. Seems it all started when I mentioned Dove brand soap, lol.

Why has nobody mentioned a "glazed" belt? I have personally glazed a brand new belt in less than 5 minutes. I don't know how you fix it other than replace it and tension it properly. If it's squealing, its slipping. If it's slipping, it's probably glazing. I don't know if glazing the belt leaves residue on the pulley or not but that should easily come off with a scratch pad.

Because Dove soap can often fix it.

Edit...
And saying "glazed" will spark a donut conversation.
