    What's cookin' boys?

    Dan - that looks great. I'll have to look up the Vodka Sauce brand. In addition to the cream, try adding a little good Parmesan, Romano, or similar cheese you like. I would keep a nice cheese sauce, often with heavy cream and a parm or Romano on hand. I'd temper the tomato sauce with it...

    Trees and trees and did I mention trees

    All larches/tamaracks are deciduous conifers. Eastern US plantations from Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) from the Depression through post-WWII era were often Japanese species, but very similar to the Eastern Larch (if I remember correctly). All of them are popular timber species for a...

    It has begun

    I used to get my first woodchuck (ground hog south of us) in the third week of March. Bagged a lot of them by May 15, when the grass was tall enough to hide them.

    I have a Porter Cable cordless 16 Gauge Nail Gun. Battery is fine, but the charger is not-so-much according to my meter. :oops: Porter Cable Chargers are very expensive. That ticks me off. 🤬 PS - For $20, I was able to find a replacement charger. Good to go....:)

    This was in the bottom of the box, upside down….. That said, I was VERY happy with the BAK Flip MX4. I would recommend them and this cover (so far -just put it on). I found and printed instructions from another source, but for $1,200 PRINT THEM OUT and put them in a F’in Box!!!!! That ticks...
