Almost had frozen cardboard variety. Ended up at McD. Mistake. $30 for 3 people. Workers not wearing masks or gloves. Nuggets tasted like movie popcorn and fries were cold. I think twice a year just became never again.

My wife picked me up a charbroil "professional" grill for my birthday a few years back. I don't even want to know how much she spent on it. Best thing is they will replace all the burner parts for free, all I have to do is request new ones.

Oh really............just so happens I got the ok to get a new grill. Well let's see if the offer still stands.....that was before the rona and long before all this water. Hope the work we did will help and I don't need to do new perimeter drains. What model did you get?

@raratt i went out looking for a chest freezer for the shop so I can actually stock up on some food. The trailer fridge freezer don’t hold shit. But it turns out everyone else is snatching them up and stocking up too. :-(. I should order one online. Maybe today

Closest ones I see in stock are clear up in Redding.

Shit. I have to make a trip over to Los Molinos here soon to get some parts for the tractor. Might as well keep going and pick up a freezer before heading back. Thx. Can you email where you seen it at?

Where is the infrared on it? I had a gas grill before the kitchenaid that had infrared on the back wall. Made for the best rotisserie cooked roasts. I sware you could take a cheap ass roast, rub it up with some seasoning and do like a 2.5-3hr rotisserie spin and it would come out so good. And then there’s cooking up a rib roast that way. OMFG. So good.

Emptied the dishwasher and refilled it. Picked up a few things here and there. About to wipe down/disinfect "high traffic areas " .
Not too sure what's going to happen after that... well other than smoke some of the weeds. It is still 4/20. Let's get all potted up people!!!!

Yeah man, jazz music!

I’m cringing some chicken bacon artichoke from them. Pan, only pan crust. Mmmmmmmmmmm....
I still haven’t used the oven in the trailer though. I’m afraid to get it dirty want it still new when I sell it. I should probably quit being a pussy.

How much were you thinking of listing your trailer for? I’ve been looking into full time livable fifth wheel/travel trailers.

Nice! Looks like the one my dad had for years. It sold with the house. Never heard of this BBQ season you speak of...........I wouldn't mind a screen room though bugs can be bad.

Not sure how much it’ll be worth when I’m done with it. Prob another two years before the new house is completed. I bought it for almost 50K in december 2018. If I was to sell it right now i would be stoked to get 30? I dunno?
But when I do sell it i sure as hell aint gonna try to sell it around here. There’s gonna be allot of them hitting the market. There’s probably going to be a little bit of some money to be made snatching them up here for cheap and selling them elsewhere.

Thx bro. I’ll buy new though.
I need a new chest freezer for not only stocking up on food, not just for this covfefe-1945 thing, but because i’m so far from town. And also to keep all the frozen bait, cured salmon roe etc.
Had one before that also was used to winterize all the oil in jars of ethanol I was pumping out. Not sure if I’ll get back into making distillate again though.

They dont even allow burn permits in rural areas during Spring when everything is waterlogged from winter? We camped upstate in Canajoharie NY and had a massive bone fire. Guess we we're lucky.

Dump truck wheels/steel rims work like a charm for a small pit/barb-b-q. Mr Tang gets request for the 25.5 bud wheels all the time. The local campgrounds use a lot of them.



I had to google "cormorant" also known as a "shag" :hump:

Yes, they actually do allow burns at certain times of the year, but in this town the fire chief wants to be notified in advance....I think the guy was just kind of letting me know he was a neighbor and he had his eye on me....and the volunteer fire department is my closest neighbor at about 1/4 mile away, so I want to play nice.

Where I use to live my friends use to burn everything year round, but we had the fire department show up more than once. There's a rule or law here that if someone calls them they have to show up....Usually involves them putting the fire out, and a fine or a donation.

Friday morning went to set the thermostat for the scorching day ahead and it was dead. Batteries were exploded. Cleaned it and replaced the batteries. Thermostat returned to life but the fan and AC were dead. Went out in the 95 degree sun and checked the main breaker box - check. Checked the secondary shutoff breaker box at the AC unit. Check. Noticed some rat damage around the insulation of the refrigerant line and checked the wiring. Pulled out some bare shorted wires from the wall. Separated the wires. Tried the AC and fan. Nothing. :cuss:

At this point the kneeling, crawling, spiders and heat were making me well, A Little Fucking Crazy!!!

I went down in the utility room/basement and took the furnace cover off. Found a blown 2 prong 5 amp yellow car fuse. Yay - easy fix :)

Needed to go shopping on for three families. I would pick up the fuse at the auto parts store during the outing.

Stopped at the Auto Zone. All out of single 5 amp fuses. I can get a box of 200 assorted fuses - what! Ass hole wouldn't open a pack and sell me a single 5 amp fuse.

Shopped at two stores for groceries and supplies. Delivered the groceries to the other families - had to sort the groceries in the heat with gloves and a mask on. Crazy is getting amped up a notch every minute.

Deliveries done, now to drop in at the nearby Pep Boys for a fuse. They closed early.

Hey SIRI - directions to the nearest auto parts store. SIRI was not even close - crazy notches up a bit more.

We find an O'Reilly Auto Parts store a mile away that has a five pack of 5 amp fuses. When we arrive I suit up and my glove breaks and I smack myself in the face. Red Alert.

I try to take off my mask while I find another glove and my hand slips. The mask snaps back and the nose arch hits me in both eyes. I go to rip it off in anger and the rubber ban snaps me in the face next to my eye so hard I get an inch long blood blister on my face. I had a mini meltdown.

Walked in the store holding my broken mask to my face. Bought the fuses and some more AAA batteries. Crazy subsides a little.

Went home and plugged in the fuse. Fan started up. AC took a little longer to reset. Crazy almost gone.

It was nice to get some cool air, a beer, and to slow roast some dry-rubbed tri-tip.

It took me most of Saturday to fully recover. I did get the tomatoes and strawberry transplanted.

Feeling better today.

I still need to deal with the rat hole and the exposed wires.

Lampost pizza was our favorite forever, then Round Table Maui Zowie. Now it is Zito's by far.

There is a place in Claremont called Union on Yale that makes the best pizza I have had this side of Milano.
