    Accessories organization

    I'm the world's worst example, but my stuff is partly in a large deck box outside next to where I cook, partly in two cardboard boxes in the garage, and partly (the things that do double duty for both inside and outside cooking, like thermometers and tongs) in a couple of kitchen drawers.

    NODE: New WiFi Temperature Monitor from ThermoWorks

    I have one of these, with one sensor in my refrigerator, and the other in the freezer in my garage. I like it.

    You know you're getting old when...

    When I lived in Virginia Beach it was 666-1212. One acquaintance refused to use it because he "didn't like dialing the mark of the beast".

    I have the worst luck sometimes

    I'm dealing with an intermittent furnace problem now. The symptoms fit a diagnosis of bad/dirty flame rod, so I replaced the flame rod at the end of last winter. The problem is back again this winter, and of course once I call for service the thing starts working again and won't misbehave while...

    Happy Thanksgiving

    We just got home from Thanksgiving lunch at my mother's house. I ordered a traditional turkey dinner from a local restaurant, expecting to have 7 people to feed, but 4 of them canceled at the last minute. So we'll be eating leftovers for the next week or so. I hope everyone here has a happy...

    Well, that's an interesting failure mode. [automotive]

    Baby,

    Yes, when the umbrella plants fold their branches down like that you know it's cold.

    20 Years

    Congratulations! I didn't notice that my anniversary was November 5 until you posted, so thanks for the reminder. My WSM is one of those $180 ones, too. Best $180 I ever spent. 🙂

    Possibly the last warm day of the foreseeable future?

    Sounds like me, except the maple is mine and is in the middle of the yard so none of my leaves fall on the neighbor's yard, but lots of hers fall on mine. I need to sharpen the mower blade before my next pass. But it beats the raking and leaf blowing I had to do at our last house (surrounded by...

    Pepper Grinder recommendations

    This is from an online obituary for Vic Firth. "Vic Firth Inc. was acquired by the Avedis Zildjian Company, a well-known maker of cymbals, in 2010 and has been known since then as the Vic Firth Company. For some years, Mr. Firth’s company also made highly regarded wooden kitchen implements...

    Pepper Grinder recommendations

    My William Bounds mill wore out after many years. I would have bought another exactly like it but, like DanHoo, I couldn't find a current model that met my needs. I bought a Peugeot and have been impressed by its quality. I also found a matching salt shaker, which I had to buy separately because...

    garage door torsion spring

    Did you run around trying to find out what had collapsed, like I did the first time my spring broke? 😲 The second time (years later, different house) I recognized the loud rumbling noise and didn't panic.

    garage door torsion spring

    I believe you'll find that the spring is most tightly wound, and thus under the greatest tension, when the door is fully closed.
