Russell - thanks. I did see references to the 3M Work Tunes in the thread also, and that’s what I was looking at.

This thread is older. I got noise cancelling JBL earbuds and like them for snowblowing in the winter. Also wear them regularly while walking for exercise. Why, I don't know, but have found them lacking for mowing. Have preference for headphones/ear muffs. (Intuition would say it should...

Just did a little spring cleaning on my old Weber Summit propane grill. Really starting to show its age. Never been a fan of it, but it’s had staying power. I’m pretty rough on grills, and this one has seen many battles. At 15 +/- years, longest we’ve had one last. Got 12 or so from a Vermont...

I do that with rice, barley, and now farro. That partially defines the “pilaf” descriptor. Finish in simmering broth, etc. is the other part. I honestly didn’t know that until I was out of the restaurant business when I made pilaf everyday. 😳

Tell you what, farro was excellent. Never had it or even heard of it until recently. Did it pretty simply: toasted with some olive oil, added some onion and garlic. Then added broth (beef) to 2:1 ratio like rice, along with some frozen peas and carrots, black pepper (no salt- lot in the...

Shawarma chicken, farro pilaf and a salad.

Anyone an expert on Farro? Never heard of it until recently. Been looking for alternatives to taters, rice, quinoa, barley, etc. Going to try it simple pilaf-style with some veggies and probably a turmeric-seasoned broth. Pilaf only means you toast the grains in some oil and then simmer...

Not a fan of salmon as I get older, but that looks awesome!

Skeets - ran same pellet stove for about 20 years. Burn about 5 ton per year and it’s our primary heat. Had a wood stove for many years before that. There’s pros and cons. My pellet stove paid for itself each year while I was working. Now retired, I have more time to tend to a wood stove. The...

No dyed fuel at any stations here, only bulk delivery to the many farms, commercial places, etc. Just got road-taxed diesel today for $5.55.

Shrimp Summer Roll in a bowl.

A lot of brachycephalic (sp?) dogs (stubby noses) can be gassy. After 3 Boxers we’re used to it, but Geddy’s the friggin Poster Child AKA Gas Master Cheese. We warned a dog/house sitter last year, lest she think something was wrong with him……😳 Damned-near curled my short brush cut hair in...

Geddy passed gas in Lowes….:sick: He farted in the truck going there too. :sick: Thank goodness we were the only ones in that isle. He even has a guilty look on his face…..

I’m making an educated guess as I’m not familiar with that Kubota model. Engines often are used in a variety of machines/applications. What might be in a tractor or excavator could also be used in a generator set, refrigeration unit or marine application. They sometimes have “extra” oil fill...

Still chilly enough I can leave them on the freezer for a while…….
