Looks to me like he's going full on air guitar.

Doing some exploring for road condition for our tour buisness.
that rock shelter behind the bike coud comfortably sleep 8 people.

My friend's new stove:

Need to get some heat resistant gap covers but the ones we find are often not long enough. I also need to clean up that aluminium L that we made into a shelf. (I volunteered to do it).

These are the pics he took:

His old stove only had 1-1/2 burners working. One could not adjust the temperature and was blazing hot, and the half only heated on the inner ring. This one has 5 and one of those is a quick-boil.

Hisense is Lowes exclusive and it was on a good sale. It has air fry and true convection. You can apparently make jerky in it too. So it is a dehydrator. It has steam clean/self clean.

Shouldn't you lengthen the stove legs to bring it up flush with the edge of the countertop?

 

[havasu]

The leg issue was the first think I noticed as well. My new stove was similar, until I screwed down the legs and got the edge extensions to cover the gap between the stove and counter top. I found it on Amazon for $30, and now stops food from dropping in between the stove and counter.


Oops.....a random pic to follow this thread.....

The back legs are as high as they can go. The floor really slopes and dips down at the back. He may make adjustments by shimming later. Right now he focused on getting it level.
I can talk to him about shimming if he cares about it, but I'm not sure that he actually does care so long as he can use his stove. Eventually he wants to install an outlet at the back that doesn't stick out so far so he can push the stove back a little further. That would be a time to mess with leveling. I actually have some leveling mix that could be used. It just has to be sifted to make sure there are no lumps.

Found this on the internet

A few pics of the Somme & Ypres regions of France and Belgium, which my boys visited recently. The elk is the Canadian divisions memorial. The next one is a crater from a mine- apparently the pic doesn't do justice to the scale of the hole.

My little brother sent me 2 bottles of his honey.
To add value to the picture, the 3rd one on top is the 16oz bottle DW got for me for $8.79

Oh, and I sent him a text telling him I got it and thanking him, that ended with:
"That was a very sweet thing to do."

Supe, I just checked the price of honey at the store the other day, and it was heller expensive! I like honey well enough, but not at $10 per bottle or jar of the good stuff...

 

[Bacpacker]

I paid $20 for a quart. But it's freshly robbed local honey, canned in a mason jar.

Wife wants me to get into bee keeping. ..Maybe after I retire.

The Princess is interested in bees as well. She has attended seminars, purchased the garb... She just needs some boxes and starters.

Friends in South Dakota are sharing hail from the storm they got today. This hail is from Pierre (pronounced peer). You know that roofs and maybe crops were damaged.

That is amazing if one thinks about the amount of energy required to keep that thing aloft long enough to grow that big.

Doesn't North Dakota hold the record hail size?? Or Iowa? This was the best Texas could muster up this year!!

Make sure your attic A/C condensate lines doesn't get clogged up!

Ours is on the ground floor and I learned that lesson the hard way when water ran between the walls and did $1,000 in damage.
Then I got myself a gun...
I blast it out every year.

The ring of tape on the end seals inside the pipe preventing backflow.

I have no idea who holds the record. I do know a cousin who is now deceased lived in another small town in South Dakota. I forget the size of the hail, what it was compared to, but it was so shocking, the largest I had ever heard of.

 

[Weedygarden]

Another one from Pierre, SD, from yesterday, but even larger. There has to be so much damage to homes, cars, crops, even animals.

 

[havasu]

I've never seen a hailstone so big!

Me, either, but I think it could kill someone if it hit them.

Is this recently? This is the first I'm hearing about it.

My AC condensate line goes into a compartment under the AC and then under the house. I pour bleach down it every few months. I need to put rocks under where it drips out though because its causing soil erosion as they have it still under the house and not poking out.

I was in the bathroom and the sun came in through the window and the leaves from the tree outside cast a shadow on my walls. I thought it looked neat so I took a photo.

There is an odd cat, AGAIN, but hungry is hungry,

The black cat is Thackery, Binx is the other, but she got fixed and has a tipped ear.

The raccoon is #$@!#$@!$@#!#$

 

[Haertig]

That's quite the crowd he's got there. Looks like a Biden campaign event.

 

[zannej]

I love how Thackery is just sitting there so calmly while the expletive deleted raccoon is eating the cat food. My cats ran from the raccoons that got into our house.

Found a photo I took of a batik I did in high school. It's a bit wrinkled. No idea where it is stored right now. Mice have probably chewed it. Batik uses dye and wax (starting with lightest color dye first and progressing to darkest). Wax locks in the lighter colors. My teacher had to mix the dyes to get the gray as we didn't have gray. She sang a little song about making elephant gray for me while she did it. She was a sweetheart-- from Scotland and had a great sense of humor. I drew the picture on paper and then used a protector to protect it on to the cloth to enlarge it, traced it onto the cloth from the projection, and then started waxing and dying. You only have a few seconds of applying the hot wax before it gets cold. Afterward you take the cloth off the stretcher, crumple it up and try to rub/shake as much wax out as possible. Then you lay papers above and below it and iron out the rest of the wax. If I find it intact I might get it framed someday.
