    NY Strips on the Silver B

    The beginning of May and there is still snow in front of my house. Picked up a couple of Strips from a local custom butcher in celebration of the temp climbing north of 50. Did a reverse sear on the Silver B.

    Can a WSM door just "fall off"?

    If tolerances are loose enough, I can see the door popping open during use. You may need to give the door and latch the "wiggle" test both cold and hot to see if it comes loose.

    Forums slow for anyone else.

    The speed fluctuates here. One time it will drag its feet, the next is lickety split. Multiple devices and browsers. ADSL and cellular data networks.

    Have you started your garden?

    Didn't do much last year, we were cleaning up issues from the 7.1 shaker Nov-18. Spring seems to be running a bit late this year. There is still a good 6 inch snow cover.

    Coronavirus - Covid 19

    Severe cabin fever setting in. March is the usual season for it in Alaska. The days are longer and the temps are warmer but you're still up to your hips in snow and ice. This is when the weird starts to come out. If I watch one more rerun of BBQ Pitmasters ....

Seems all through February he went around to all big box hardware and smaller hardware / construction suppliers and bought out N95 masks (several thousand) to resell on eBay and Amazon at a healthy markup. This led to a local shortage of masks...

    Refrigerator brands and longevity

    I was always partial to Kenmore branded Whirlpool appliances. They were built by Whirlpool but sold as Kenmore at a lower price. Parts were the same FSP so repairs, if needed, were fairly simple. We have a couple of 20 year old Reefer units (top freezer). One I had to replace the compressor but...
