Drying Things Out

I got a food dehydrator not long ago. I wanted a decent one. Not a cheap plastic thing with a lightbulb. I've used it a fair bit, making jerky and drying fruits and herbs. You get a chunk of beef on sale, and you can make jerky for a fraction of the cost. Last week, … Continue reading Drying Things Out →

Gonna be a Great Day, Tater.

My life is complete. Proton has released Proton Calendar for IoS. Doesn't seem like a big deal. But it is to me. I can't sync my phone to my work computer. I sync to outlook on my personal machine, but that results in two calendars - one for Outlook, one for my iPhone. Great. I … Continue reading Gonna be a Great Day, Tater. →

Earworms

While I was writing about speeches, I hit replay 5-6 times like a mental patient: https://youtu.be/Nawra9ahHP0 For some reason I like this version. Old dude crushing it.Notice the ancient Martin he's playing. I watched a special on him where he was adding water to a humidifier to keep his collection fed. Keep the tone. It's … Continue reading Earworms →

Bluegrass Saturday

My homebois. These dudes all had real jobs, but played bluegrass. I loved watching them. And I love bluegrass. And why not? As long as you can holler in tune and you got it. It's like blues in a way. https://youtu.be/U2FB54DOldo What they are saying: Was in the spring, one sunny dayMy sweetheart left me, … Continue reading Bluegrass Saturday →

Work Sharp

I'm a knife nut. I have a ritual before holidays, but often before cooking where I sharpen my knives. I use water stones to sharpen them, then a steel to finish them off. Some time ago, I got a Cuisinart pro sharpener. It had two grinder wheels - course and fine, and two hones, fine … Continue reading Work Sharp →

Where I hit an Estate Sale

I love estate sales. But you have to hit them early. Most have bullshit. All the crap one collects before you pull the croak chain and the kids have to clean out the house. I read a piece awhile back where the consignment shops were full, and it was tough to get rid of mom's … Continue reading Where I hit an Estate Sale →

MyQ – Control your stuff

Like most of the country, I have a chamberlain garage door opener. They are probably the most ubiquotus one out there. And they have some cool plugins for OCD guys like me that obsess that I left the door open. You see, hereabouts, driveways and garages face the back of the property. You typically drive … Continue reading MyQ – Control your stuff →

Clay Bars

We have two massive pecan trees in our back yard that provide shade during most of the afternoon. Even though some numbnut topped them, they still are magestic. The bad part is they are pretty prolific producers of pecans. When I started spraying them, the nuts have recovered to where maybe only half of them … Continue reading Clay Bars →

Cuban Chrome

I love watching car shows. Not the new stuff. The fix up the junk ones. My favorite is Vice Grip Garage. I'll watch everything Derek puts out. Why? Because that was me at one point. Sure, it wasn't my business, but it was my life back in the day. I'd buy beaters, fix them up, … Continue reading Cuban Chrome →
