Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

pie is in the oven, and microwave almost caught on fire.
Heard crackling and hissing and immediately turned off microwave. Looked in, saw nothing, no metal in there for sure and
tried again. That brought on the smoke. Ok, time for closer inspection.
The rotating cradle below the glass plate decided to incinerate itself. I thought it was all plastic but apparently not. And that looks like a metal screw
on the roller too. In a microwave? Have had it a year and no problems and now it decides it's flammable. CPSC should be interested. Toshiba, name brand too.

My buddy actually TIG welded the grooves in his chainsaw clutch drive gear with hard banding wire filler, and then he ground it down with a little Dremel till back to stock so he has hard surfacing where the chain engages.

I was thinking of doing that, too, Kyle. Until I saw the geometry of the part, and that the grooves extended pretty much all the way around the narrowest point of the sprocket. Not sure if I could even see what I was doing if I were to try to weld it. My suspicions that it was made of sintered powdered metal was the final nail in that coffin. Not to mention the $5 +- $2 price tag.

Maybe some people are getting prepared like they should be.

Don't know what they are getting prepared for, but I guess spaghetti is the choice around here for survival food. Maybe it's because next Friday the temps plunge to 30˚F and for a few hours in the morning we have a 10% chance of a wintery mix.

I'm heading to another store to check out their pasta isle and pick up some whole wheat pastry flour, if it's in stock, to make a survival Instant Pot chocolate cake on this bright sunny very windy 45˚ day.

21° our snow prediction down to 3” so will be a major letdown following a week of hype.

Overachieved, I did get Subaru oil changed, and pulled left front tire and saw a sliver of brake lining left.

Not wanting to overdo myself I didn’t run in looking for new brake pads.
Rode yesterday’s miles on the bike, so need to ride again.
Squash is back inside.

And Drew’s pie looks delicious, cherry is my favorite.

We had 34°F and light snow this morning, and the temp has hovered around that same spot all day. The snow stopped here around 10:30-ish. Our predicted 3-6" was modified to 1-2", and the reality is we got maybe 1/2", much of which has already melted. Some friends over in Missouri reported about 2". Looks like STL Snowmageddon 2022 is a bust.

Went out into the great storm this morning to run some errands. Wife wanted me to pick up breakfast while I was out, but all the slow food joints had already stopped serving breakfast by the time I was done, so I just came back home and made pancakes. Helped her prep some chili, and that's in the crockpot for dinner this evening.

One of the errands was to pick up the replacement for the broken door knob on one of the sunroom doors, which the hardware store called me and told me was in on Thursday. No sliding through any intersections in Aviston this time. Of course, that task seems to have worked its way onto the "not gonna happen today" list.

Nice kitty photos.
