I saw a wheel like that on the James Bond movie "Goldfinger". James was driving in the mountains and a gal in a Mustang tried to pass him and he activated the driver's side rear wheel tire/auto body shredder to knock out the car and pick up the gal driving it. Jethro Bodine would have been pr...
If that was an issue for me, I'd invest in a good sprayer, some top notch insecticide and get to work. You must live rural to have that issue going on. At worst, living in the middle of the city, I have an issue with fleas from time to time, especially this time of year. After two or three...
I hate that this crap has become a thing in today's world. Guys who can't compete against their own sex and peer group claiming they are now female and beating the real-life girls/women at their sport. To me, that is not a victory, that is a travesty. Nobody I grew up with would even think...

[quote] I disagree. Tower if Pizza is very good.[/quote] Wife came home with one of their large Supreme pizzas last night and it was pretty damn good. I ate 3 slices and it was all I could eat and chased with a cold beverage. I stayed feeling full for hours afterwards....
[quote]you are incorrect. It is about 250 innings in a year not in 14 years. [/quote] Then the thread title was misleading. Should have read "A pitcher hasn't pitched 250 innings a year in 14 years. That's wild" That way it would have been perfectly clear and not open to interpretati...
[quote]Someone correct me, but how did the Natives have access to horses and not guns? I thought Europeans introduced both to the continent at the same time.[/quote] Horses came to N. America with the Spanish during the 1500's when they were exploring the world looking for gold. They were int...
[quote]I’ve never considered myself the smartest person in any room, but I have no clue what this means or what you’re trying to say[/quote] It means that is a pitiful performance rate. Baseball has 162 games a season and over a 14 yr. period that comes to 2268 games and those games are a mi...
[quote]spectacular but not remotely realistic. killing buffalo did not require chasing them.[/quote] For hundreds of years before the white man introduced guns to the Indians out west, they hunted them with spears and bows and arrows. Yes, they hunted them and chased them on horseback to get...
[quote]I know you can reuse oil but growing up my mother and her silver can grease holder burnt me on reusing oil.[/quote] I have one of those by my stove for bacon grease. I'll sometimes use it for making a roux or browning off meat for stews. it's already got a lot of flavor built in....
[quote]You need to spend a night in the box.[/quote] Carl, the floor walker at the prison camp explained all the infractions that got a man to spend the night in the box. Great scene. Oh, and "Cool Hand Luke" for me. Another movie of Paul Newman's that came out the same year is on...

[quote]He quit b/c he considered himself better than the show. [/quote] This is what I recall when he left the show. He went in thinking his part would be much bigger than it actually was much like many other actors in shows with a large cast. ...
[quote]is anyone else totally baffled on this alleged mystique of Amy Winehouse?[/quote] Count me in that number. To me, she was a drugged up, alcohol swilling mediocre singer but a world class skank. I never got the appeal. Maybe she was trying to channel her inner Janis Joplin, but fai...
[quote] How do you strain yours and get the fish smell out?[/quote] You can strain it until you're blue in the face and the fish smell will remain is how I see it. Therefore, I will only reuse the oil if I'm planning on frying again in no more than a couple days. I do have a very fine mes...
[quote]I’m not a wine guy but even I know that the list of good wines for sub 120 is pretty damn extensive[/quote] Same here. I too am not a wine guy but I do know some folks that are into it and they spend nowhere near that kind of money on a single bottle of wine with $30-40 being their top ...
[quote]i think its snake oil. its just gas with an additive? Never used it and no issues with regular gas (non-ethanol) and oil mix[/quote] I feel the same. I use non-ethanol gas that costs around $3.25 a gallon from a mom and pop station near me and use the 2 stroke oil in the small contain...
I've been talking about and dreaming of moving rural for a decade now and am anxiously awaiting the day my wife finally retires from her job to do it. I've been retired for a few years now and am so tired of living in Orleans Parish and the shithole it has become. Infrastructure falling apart, ...
Every once in a while I like to make what I refer to as my "Italian Burger". I'll add finely diced onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, parmesan cheese, a little Italian bread crumbs and a beaten raw egg to the meat. I'll then season it with some salt, pepper and a splash of Worcestershire sauce...
If it keeps coming back and if it is the same hinge, why not just change the hinge. Buy one just like the offending one and simply replace it. Can't be more than 8 screws to remove and replace....

Smoking salmon today

Posted by gumbo2176 on 5/16/24 at 8:31 am
I picked up a couple skin on salmon filets from Costco 2 days ago and brined them for 24 hours using salt, brown sugar, dill and coriander. I rinsed them and then let them sit overnight in the fridge on a rack uncovered so they dried out a bit and formed a pellicle on the meat surface. Just...
