Good evening all. 30F this morning, clear, light winds. High temp was 57F, winds were gusty, and sky mostly clear all day. 2 hours in dentist chair, this morning replaces one old crown that had decay redevelop. 2 fillings redone. Then shopping before come home. Bike ride after lunch. Glad I did not read about the BBQ until tonight, no really good BBQ place near here . You have to beat me to use a stationary bike, no coasting .

It could be a real danger, could be crap, who wants to roll the dice?

This guy thinks he has found a possible problem with the hot air fryer that allows agrees build up outside the two pans through screw holes and oil accumulates in the bottom of the machine. His started really smoking bad. His solution was to tighten the screws on the inside of the second pan to stop the oil from accumulating in a place that is usually not cleaned.

Even though the pic of the one that caught on fire was not using oil on his french fries he could have had an oil accumulation from prior cookings like in this youtube.

WARNING: Power AirFryer XL: POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD - YouTube

Ours is clean because we never use any oil but it would be good to have the insurance company turn the fire damaged fryer over to their fire investigators to see if it was a part failure or an accumulation of oil with a flash point below 400˚.

Of course the manufacturer wants it but he should give it to his insurance co. It would be interesting to see the fire record and see what is listed as the cause and origin.
Keep us updated if they post more, I'd like to see how this is settled.

Good morning, well I guess I was lucky to have been able to get out and about yesterday. Going on the number of pages posted here a lot of you must have been stuck inside with cabin fever.

There were plenty of jobs waiting yesterday and I decided it wouldn't hurt if they waited a little longer as I couldn't resist going out for an hour or two with my new 28 guage, removing old magpie nests from the treetops. When it came to cleaning you could tell I'm more used to a semi-auto than an over and under. I was about to put it away, then realised I hadn't done the bottom barrel. :ashamed:

Don, a UTV like yours would be nice, although with the Subaru still running, I can't really justify looking at them at the moment.

jb, will it be another Saint Bernard, or do you have some other breeds in mind come springtime ?

This is the bridge:

Double decker bridge is cool. Big difference when the lake is full vs. low.

Good morning all, 40 this morning going to 58, :cool2: Might go out and sit on thee patio today, we will see. No plans but will likely do something. Sounds like a few of you know my old stomping grounds pretty well.

Don thanks for the recipe, Oven just as good as the air fryer?

Prayers all around, Ed

31 going to 58 and sunny.

If you like Eastern NC vinegar-based, non-sweet BBQ sauce like I do, you can't find better than Billy's Bar B Q sauce...from Tarboro, NC, near Drew. I like it, not because it shares my name, but because it is so goooood.

Next time I'm in Bridgewater, I'll be looking for the chicken.

Got the tractor out for the first time in a while yesterday and took the chainsaw back in the woods to cut a couple of dead oaks into firewood. Got them split just before dark. Not dry enough to burn this year, so I stacked it on a pallet for next year. I was impressed with the performance of an old chain that I used my new sharpener on. Got more to do today.

How does one really cook okra correctly?

One simple way is to just slice, sprinkle a bit of olive oil, and grill on the gas/charcoal grill...no slime, and gives just the right texture with a slight crunch.

26F now low 40's for high.

Plans today...Generator to repair shop,dump run,feed store bags of bird seed etc.,cut up lot of scrape wood,push back snow banks here and there...plan to be outside much as I can enjoying the weather.

Pulling for the Jags.

Enjoy the day all.

39 high of 57 a big change from all the cold we have experienced lately

Off to look at some work this morning may go pick up UTV from shop

Prayers for Riptides Buckeyefarmer Toppop and Ed and all others needing them

Growing up my father used to put okra in soup and we'd swear there were eels in there there was so much slime.
Cooking it "right" is pretty important. Reminds me of eggplant and brussel sprouts, no appeal to me unless cooked right.
I think the grill is a great idea, burn that slime off.

Warmer day today, into high fifties. I'm headed out to fling fertilizer this morning and may disc it in this afternoon. Should be a fun day.
Might still be too wet to disc, one way to find out, and I don't need to drop it all the way down anyway. Maybe a one degree slope in this field but when the ground is still wet like it is,
I've learned from experience it's like pushing snow, always better to start at the top and go down. If you can...and in this case, I can.

I took the fertilizer hopper that came with the Super A down to the dealer yesterday and was complimented on its good shape, it was all metal and original and even the flexible metal downpipe looked almost new. Pretty neat to be able to bend the pipe to drop the fertilizer where you want for side dressing. Big open chain drive, that should make some noise. Everything is dry and looks like it hasn't been used, so I wonder if I should spray some chain lube on that chain. Any of you guys ever use the fertilizer hopper on the A's through 140's?
I would think most chains should be lubed.

32 here this morning on its way up to 38. Feels wonderful outside!

The neighbors have lost water to their house, so will head down there to see what help is needed. Doubtful it is frozen pipes as it hasn't been cold enough lately but hoping it isn't their pump as that is never good news. The road gets pretty bad down at their end, so I might turn this into a reason to bring the tractor out and blade it on my way to see them.

Now that I have the tractor, I think I am just plotting my day around how I can come up with ways to use it. LOL

Happy Saturday everyone!

34 degrees right now...high in the low 40's today.
No plans in particular...see how the day goes

 

[ronjhall]

Need to pour second cup of coffee. 32° with some clouds this morning. Heading to 41° with mostly sunny skies. Snow is slowly melting. Weather forecast shows most days will see some above freezing temperatures. Taking wife to local dog show today. That will be enough exercise for both of us today.
Drew, nice to see lawn cutting this time of year. I am sure I can hold off doing that for another 4 months.
Don, Randy and Buckeye, checked our XL Fryer. No oil buildup anyplace. Good info though we will keep a eye on it when using.
jbrumberg, I use Famous Dave's Rich and Sassy BBQ sauce. Works good for wife and I. She cannot take spicy like I like. Have not done a Brisket on the Trager yet. But Tri-Tips sure come out good.
Good Morning All.

 

[riptides]

19 outside this AM. Hope to get out of the house more today. Each day is better. For both the wife and I. But I need to get outside, I am an outside person. Can you tell I want to be outside? LOL.

Today on the calendar, one month ago, I was at this time, fearful and dreading the hours as my best friend underwent surgery. In just one months time I can see the immense progress she has made. Prayers, love and a positive attitude are powerful influences in her continued recovery.

Thanking you all for those.

Hope all have a wonderful day, and are safe in whatever you do today!

Don't forget to put fuel in it.
