Good morning!!!!

Ah ..... another convert to Air Frying.

Here痴 something to make your cleanup ..... even easier

I ordered a set of these, thanks Rick. Also ordered the accessory kit with the holders made for that size unit, like the one with three horizontal
stainless skewers for making ka bobs out of veggies and meat. Will pick up some green peppers today and try them out in there.
Am hoping I can make okra edible in there also, no slime,
all crunch, all high fiber, low cal, some kind of not too spicy unsalted topping.

The air fryer came in three boxes, inner, outer and then Amazon.
Inner two boxes very substantial, and no broken white foam bits on the kitchen floor. :thumbsup:
Takes a lot of packaging to get here in one nice piece from the other side of the world.
Lot of these models look very similar, probably work the same too. Mine has a veggie button, a chicken button
and a french fry button. And about ten more I think; of course you can add or subtract from menu presets.
Sure nailed the marinated chicken at 28 minutes.

I always wonder when new cooking appliances will go up in short circuited flames on the first use.
Made sure I was close to kitchen while fryer was working. And fryer was under operating hood vent.
Combo was pretty noisy.
It's air, not grease, so can't be all that dangerous, right?

Sun's coming up and time to get a move on.

Drew ...... Air fryers are just "baby" convection ovens. You're just not heating up that huge 8-10 cu. ft. box. In the amount of time to preheat the big box, your meal is pretty much done.

57 going to 77. Saw our first female hummingbird yesterday. Males have been here two weeks already.

Kyle, prayers for your surgery fixing the problem.

Eric, I like my unpredictability a bit more when it is not created by coyotes.

Picked up a load of lumber at HD yesterday to build an implement rack today. Space is so limited in my little tractor barn that I'm going double decker. I figure I can stack the grapple or bucket on top of the tiller. Need to mow before the rain hits.

Good morning. It's 58°F here this morning and forecast to see 83°F and lots of sunshine today. The "big storms" last evening were a "big dud" here. Haven't checked two rain gauges yet but, I'm guessing maybe 1/4" at most.

Still no humming bird activity at the feeder yet, after a week but it took nearly two weeks before they found us last year.

Read an interesting piece about bird feed this morning from a local gardening expert ......

When feeding birds, quality seed makes the difference | GardenLine with Randy Lemmon | NewsRadio 74 KTRH

Maybe this is common knowledge to those of you with bird feeders but, I never though about it. We had a bird feeder on the back porch at our former place in Fayette County ....... I finally moved it off the porch as it was always such a huge mess. Maybe now .... I know why?

Good luck to "Kyle's Doc" for his surgery this morning.

Sounds like Drew is "All In" with his new appliance.

Hope everyone has an excellent "Friday Eve".

Prayers to all.

Good morning all,

46 this morning, clear skies with no wind.

As I read the post in this thread it's amazing how much is going on in just our little corner. My prayers and best wishes go out for everyone. Some are just having a little bad luck with equipment some with health and some with friends or family. I feel for all of you that need a little comfort at this time. Best wishes and may the Lord bless each of you that need it.

Yours is FWD primary/AWD? Check the flexplate and torque converter for missing weights or loose fasteners. Output and input shaft on transmission and transfer case for true.
Does the vibration seem road speed or engine speed related?

It's road speed related; happens regardless of engine RPMs. Manual transmission, so no torque converter; what's a flex plate? The drive shaft is out of it now, and it still vibrates. I'll check the bell housing fasteners between the engine and transaxle, though. I did find that the nut holding the input flange to the input shaft on the front diff was loose, so anything's possible. Yesterday I found that the A/C compressor wasn't coming on because the wire to it had never been hooked up. Still doesn't cool, so now I'm wondering if it's even been charged. I don't have any A/C tools except maybe a vacuum pump that might work, so I'm trying to come up to speed on that, too.

How old in years and how worn are the tires? Did I see a picture of them cupped? Or was that someone else????

The tires are about three years old now, but only have about 500 miles. You thinkin' they could be flat spotted?

Surgery tomorrow at 9 am. They said I just have to stop eating and drinking after midnite. Darn.

Good Luck, Kyle! Hope you wake up feeling good, and your recovery is quick!

All that time parked? Quite possibly.

2/3 of my new bed came yesterday, the other third will/should be arriving today. I will put it all together tomorrow.
I did the dump run yesterday, so today I only have a town run and a trip to the hardware store.
The sump pump that I have had in the hole doing its' thing for the past 5 years finally crapped out yesterday evening. It is a really good thing I keep a spare pump still in the box on the shelf. That is why I am going to the hardware store, to get me a replacement pump.
I also need a new 1/2" drive breaker bar, a 3/4" socket (preferably a deep one) and a 6" extension. They will all stay in the Dodge, just in case I need to change a flat. It is better to have it and not need it as opposed to needing it and not having it. I don't have CAA (AAA in the 'states) so I can forget calling them for towing/flat changing.

Hope the new bed feels like :cloud9:, Bill.

I keep a pressure pump switch on the shelf for exactly the same reason. They seem to crap out every couple years, and until they're replaced, there's no water pressure to the house. The last couple were made in Mexico...

And thanks for the reminder on the tire changing tools. Somewhere around here is the jack for the van, and hopefully a lug wrench, too. But I'm probably better off with a breaker bar and socket; too many of my friends have suffered from breaking or otherwise faulty lug wrenches.:confused2: I get free towing through my American Motorcyclist Association membership, but last time I called, they told me it would be a couple hours before someone could get here...

Future egg layers

PJ, we couldn't get our ducks to stay at the pond. Didn't need food to coax them back, they followed us back.
