For my wife to come home I am considering a stairlift, the house is not large with a 12/12 pitch on the stairs so, I can see a great safety advantage in getting one. I have virtually no idea what to expect, I’ve heard that small basic ones would be about 3 grand. To stay in this house, I’m not...

I just spent a hundred bucks at the grocery store and I could not bring myself to buy any proteins? How many of us go to the store with more trepidation than the “OOh what will I find at the store this week!?” I actually chatted with a guy and THAT was the base of the chat! I didn’t even get a...

If I have things in my Amazon cart, do I just go into Amazon from the above link and you get a spiff? Or is it more complicated than that?

It seems to me that someone has posted a thread about using a slow and sear with a rotisserie but, I can’t find it! I was gifted a Slow and Sear for my birthday and am trying to decide what the initial cook will be with it, spinning or longer indirect, anyone have an opinion? That was a silly...

Starting with Butchery skills need some work but, I don’t do things this big every week. 19 pounds! Had to remove the hock for it to fit and it wasn’t very pretty. That was at 21:00 last night. And temp when I woke up… More to follow…

My wife is the best in the world! New pair of Dan Post boots, set of sockets and this! Easy assembly, I like the broad clamp on the base, this is attached to 2” thick patiopaver brick, severe wind predicted so, I took everything but the base off. Came with a nice little storage bag so, with...
