Time to make more bacon. Step 1. Thaw

I didn’t cook it but had tacos at White Duck Tacos in Asheville. The pork belly in the taco was the size of half a VHS tape

Boy. Wonder how ripe that thing was and if it was leaking? Time for sushi!!

I tried to go ABI but they were not that interested in my business. They did email me today wondering why I never ordered, so I resent them the email where I stated I wanted to order one and discuss delivery. Their response at that time was a very short “we don’t have any.” No offer to put me...

Is it fused? Pull the fuse and see what happens or doesn’t happen. Open it up. Worst case you zip tie it back shut

My lawn is only a lawn because it’s where the short weeds live. In the spring, it’s more of an airboat operation than mowing. No need to wash wet grass when the deck may be partially submerged. I do grease every other mow in these wet conditions. I don’t want the water having easy access to...

No rake but the rear blades are a similar design and concern. They either want to roll on their back or tilt forward with the top in to the ground. I use a couple of dolly’s from Harbor Freight and rest the blade on the back. It allows me to easily position the attachment and get the lower arms...

Plan a worked. Storms moving in so I will play tomorrow. Had to put on the box blade for ballast but she lifted around 3” and came out without damage

New toy Saturday. Time for a cup of coffee and think about the unloading

Here they are assembled. Filling them with the corn shocks I removed from the ditch and adding soil on top. Can’t buy bulk topsoil around here this year so bags it is

No they are powder coated

I got mine end of season at Rural King. I think I paid 1.20/gal for the -20 stuff a few years back. As far as using it for what it is intended, I make my own with the blue tablets and isopropyl in the winter

At some point someone said “hold my beer”
