Good morning!!!!

Kyle, pretty sure the passivation won't hold up at temperatures high enough to make the metal glow, but you shouldn't get anywhere close to that unless you like charcoal for dinner.:laughing: Once you get the grill "seasoned" with drippings, that should keep it from rusting anyway. Watch out for those edges on the expanded metal! I use the same stuff in the floor of the bead blaster, and it'll slice open a finger before you know it if you give it any chance at all.:shocked:

Happy Veterans Day to all who served. My dad was veteran of tha Normandy invasion, Omaha Beach, he ended up in Germany at the end of the European war.

Will be careful. As I hope you will too with your situation.

I bet he had some stories, and close calls. Many did not want to talk about it. War can make people not be people.

"Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans—living or dead—but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

Veterans Day occurs on November 11 every year in the United States.

In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day.

In 1968, the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed by Congress, which moved the celebration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. The law went into effect in 1971, but in 1975 President Gerald Ford returned Veterans Day to November 11, due to the important historical significance of the date.

Great Britain, France, Australia and Canada also commemorate the veterans of World War I and World War II on or near November 11th: Canada has Remembrance Day, while Britain has Remembrance Sunday (the second Sunday of November).

In Europe, Great Britain and the Commonwealth countries it is common to observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. every November 11."

Please take time to thank other Veterans for their Service and pray for those who have passed.

California fires claim lives, property... and cars | Autoweek

I thought of RNG's cars and bikes when I read this, just popped up online

hard to fathom what these folks are going through.

 

[ronjhall]

Good new RNG. Prayers for all those affected by this disaster.

 

[sodamo]

Glad to read the mostly positive report RNG.
Our prayers continue.

My Dad sure did have some close calls in WWII. And no, he didn’t want to talk about it much, despite the fact that my father in law kept pestering him to do so. My FIL was too young to serve. My dad‘s 100th birthday would have been about this time next year. He made it all the way to 91, but he’s no longer with us. I used to call him up every November 11, to thank him again for his service. Always brought a tear to my eye. He and all of his three siblings who were old enough to serve made it back safely. A lot of others didn’t. God bless them all.

Both wife and I on regular Medicare with Tricare as secondary. No complaints. Copays for prescriptions, but we only have 2 active and from time to time get some sort of med billing, but never a lot. We are blessed being relatively healthy for our ages. Wife is classified totally, permanently disabled but we still think of her as healthy with no real ailments. She does take CBD oil for her pain issues.

it is a testimonial to Dupont that the refrigerated pie crusts I used to make this apple pie
still functioned after being outside the best use date by, ahem, ahem, a year and a half.
This is what happens when you live along and there are no fridge police...

Pie crusts were still soft and pliable, if a bit sticky, I just figured I'd cook it a little extra so that if there were
any aliens in there, well they'd be well baked. And so I did.
But first I liberally sprinkled cinnamon on top, sort of like dousing the madame with perfume...

Even if I have to scrape off the top, I know the insides will be just fine. Used half the normal sugar, butter, flour, nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon; no way that will taste bad. But I exercised caution and decided to let it cool. Gotten a few nice tongue burns not following
that advice before. Twice burned and learned.

Looks good Drew!

My dad didn’t talk about the war much, and when he did it was usually stories of things they did not in combat. He told me a few things that were age appropriate, but remember he died when I was 12.

 

[Bird]

Yep, Drew, that is a fine looking pie.

 

[ronjhall]

Good looking pie. Wish you could send some this was.

Happy veterans day Dad, and all the other veterans. My grandmother insisted on calling it Armistice Day. Dad talked about it a little this morning. Boarded a ship In NY for Scotland on Dec 23, 1943 at 10 pm. He quoted all the dates. Said he saw the statue of liberty on the way out and never thought he'd see it again, but he did. He watched the Dday invasion sail out of Cardiff, and he arrived at Omaha beach a few days later.

Glad I went to see him this weekend.

 

[Buppies]

Glad your house was spared RNG

Great looking pie Drew it tastes good from here

My dad went thru the hedgerows of Eastern Europe was in the middle of The Battle of The Bulge wounded on the German border spent nine months in an English hospital three months in hospital in Georgia before coming home. Never talked about it much either

Thomas this coming week has taken a turn for the worse heavy rain Monday night into Tuesday frozen precipitation in my area Thursday. The pipe line from Hawaii has begun early

 

[ronjhall]

My dad never said much about the war. Oldest brother will tell a lot of stories. Was a crew chief on a B52. Spent 16 years in the Air Force. My younger brother never talks about his service. In the Navy. My son talks about his time in the Army. Spent 13 years in it. Decided to not reenlist after his trip to ****** with a Patriot Company.
Buckeye, your dad looks good.

IMHO the pie turned out fine, if not quite cooked enough since some apples in the center were a little firm/crunchy.
But otherwise, I had a really big piece and enjoyed every bit.

Yes, I would like to put the pie in a device that probably will look like the original Amana Radarange, and push a button and have
it appear right in front of you. Plenty for all...
