Eric, one of the toughest steaks I ever had was on a birthday in Wales. Maybe it, too, was from a bull? More likely it was just severely overcooked, as there was not a sign of any juice and it was gray in the middle. The only thing tougher that day turned out to be my motorcycle tire. As I left the bike to go into the restaurant I noticed a shiny spot on the tire, and a closer look showed it to be the head of a screw. I didn't want to get all dirty trying to repair it just then, instead waiting until after the meal. When I use a pair of pliers to extract the screw, the expected rush of air didn't follow, and the time honored drop of spit didn't bubble, either. That was one of the best birthday presents a motorcyclist can wish for, and more than fair compensation for a very, very well cooked English fillet. :laughing:
Good luck keeping the Roundup in all the right places, Drew. In the past I've used paint brushes and even rollers to eliminate the spray, especially when working around flowers and shrubs.
Rumour spreadin' a-'round in that Texas town
'bout that shack outside La Grange
and you know what I'm talkin' about.
Gotta agree, La Grange was one of the boys' best, and also that the best way to enjoy it is on a good stereo...
Don, I thought Texans all wore white ten gallon hats to keep their ears from burnin' in that hot sun. Or is that only on "Dallas"? :laughing:
Finally got off my butt and tore into the K-bike yesterday, pulling the transmission in preparation for an engine rear main seal replacement. Lots more surface corrosion to clean up, and I'm running out of places to put the parts, but no unpleasant surprises, either. As expected, the bell housing was covered in a fine film of oil from the leaking seal, but I'd rather see that than everything dry, an indicator that I'd just gone through all that for nothing.
This morning before the wind picks up I'll go around and spot spray the star thistle that got missed last month, then add some triclopyr to the mix and go after the sprouts of poison oak that have sprung up since the last spraying. Then back into the garage to work some more on the bike; I'd like to get that all back together this week.
Hope everyone has a great work week...
