And pissed off... Congrats!

Yeah, I am kind of surprised I made it the one mile home without the wheel coming off. Those bearing cages were SOFT. I guess 40+ years of sitting in a grease and water slurry will do that. I've been good about repacking them, but never really considered replacing them since they "looked good"...

I broke mine! At least the trailer. As I was backing down the boat ramp at a close by lake, I dropped one of the wheels off of the side of the concrete slabs. I spent years being careful and worrying about doing just that, and I finally did it. I launched and pulled the trailer up the ramp and...

My wife has had a couple of grafts. Without the guard covering the "donor" tissue site, the pain can be quite excrutiating. One option is to use tissue from a cadaver, instead of your own. Yes, you read that right. It's basically just the structural tissue without the drooly bits. That...

The Eye of Sauron! Great pic.

For SRC & ressie hunting?

Happy Birthday, Steve!!!

Yes. Thanks, Evan. Brings up some PTSD from a 35-year IT career dealing with crap going sideways during after hours "upgrades".

I usually store mine on underwater tree branches.

Down here in Olympia, they are near-constant visitors to our feeders. Lots of solo birds, but we often see 2-3 at a time.

Would you prefer more Chiefs posts? 😁

Tis the season. Our neighbor feeds the ducks in his back yard this time of year. We'll see a dozen or so wood ducks and mallards land high in the big maple behind our house. Once the coast is clear, and the food is out, they'll fly down into his yard to feast. Pretty strange to see ducks in...

Nice camouflage!

I have the Barata Encore ESP grinder. The ESP is essentially the standard Encore with half of the grind settings dial for drip/press and the other half for the finer espresso grinds. If you think you might delve into espresso, this would be a great grinder because it basically does it all. It...

Another vote for a good grinder. The good ones are critical for espresso since they produce uniform sized particles instead of a mix of fine and coarse. It really makes a difference with espresso, and likely drip, but I always used a blade grinder for my pour-overs so I don't have much feedback...

Inspired by the wolves thread:

An excellent plan! However, you may face resistance convincing the local mayors or city councils that the T-rex(es) will not be a threat to their voting or lobbying base. In the more populous cities, you should tell them that the T-rex(es) will have their hands handcuffed behind their backs...

Sign me up!

Well, there is obviously a lot of conflicting opinions on reintroducing wolves to the OP. So, how about a compromise? Let's introduce golden retrievers instead. Everybody likes goldens! Or, corgies. Imagine packs of goldens and corgies running through the meadows of the Olympics.

RIP, Skip. Thanks for all you've shared with us.
