So I settled on an STX International Dehydrator that has a 1200W coil. It has 10 trays, all stainless steel and a detachable coil/fan assembly.
The 16oz water bottle is there for size comparison, and this thing is BIG!
The first thing i am going to try is roma (or plumb) tomatoes to make tomato powder.

So i was looking for a new/different pair of gloves that i can use while creating masterpieces on the smoker. My must haves were: 1. I be able to hold (for atleast 2 minutes) pans directly off the smoker without feeling the heat 2. I had to be able to put them on and take them off pretty easy 3. They had to be thin enough for me to be able to feel what i am doing with my fingers 4. They had to be able to be washed 5. They had to be some what cut resistant 6. They had to be oil resistant (cant be burning my fangers with hot grease) 7. They had to actually fit my big hands So what i found was these 2 different gloves. This one comes in a pack of 12: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074J59W91?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_imageAnd this was a single pair: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0829R7MD4?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_titleI think i found what i was looking for. The 3rd picture is me holding the smoke tube that i just pulled off the smoker and it still had big glowing embers in it.

We. I got the ceiling completely replaced from the leaky pipe incident, i also had 4' on both sides of a wall corner replaced. Got paint lined up for next week. All i have left to do is put the base boards back on and re-hang the lights. Did i forget to mention how upset one can get trying to finish nail base boards manually......  So i said screw it, i need power and more of it. Found this set on amazon, and it will be here on tuesday. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00UHNM60C?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

On 22 February 2010 GOD created a true gentle giant who would soon be known as Maynard der König (MAYNARD the king)! And on 28 July 2020 @ 653pm GOD called you back to his side!
I truly hope that we were humans that you were proud to live with and provided for your every wish and desire!
You were my true best friend and you never judged me for my faults!
Your pain is gone and you can finally breath again and have those wonderfull dreams of you chasing rabbits!
WE LOVE YOU and will always miss you! You will live in our hearts and memories every day until the day WE get to be reunited with you!

so today I decided it was a great time to lose my wallet and phone completely off the back of my truck into some ditch somewhere!
my cards and ID's are what they are and have all been turned off or will have to wait till the next work day to get them straightened out.
I have a new phone coming and should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. I have sent the lock and erase code to shut it down and protect as much data as possible.
but the real issue is, that for whatever reason the back-up was turned off on my phone and I now have no way of getting all of my contacts back.
If you are reading this, that means that I had your number in my phone and would like to put it back in my new one. can you please send me your number to my message inbox.
if you don't feel safe doing it on here, hit me a message in my inbox and I will send you my private email address.

so out of the blue this morning, I get a call from SAIA saying that I have a package that I need to come sign for and pick up. when I got there, I found that it was a really big box that barley fit into the back of the truck.
I honestly had no idea what it was and where it came from because I didn't order anything.
as I got it home and opened it up, I was beyond speechless. I called wendy to inquire as to its origin and was told that it was a Christmas/house warming gift.
so folks, what we have here is a berkel 827a-plus 12 inch, mid-tier commercial grade meat slicer. it has a 4 amp motor, 12" knife/blade, and has roughly a 10.5" throw on the feed tray (how far it goes back). what that means is … I can slice full slabs of bacon without having to quarter it.

so I am just over 2 years and 50K miles (49,600 actual) on the GMC and it has come time to put some new shoes on her. The original tires that came on the truck were goodyear wrangler sr/a LT265/60R20 load range E.
For the most part I have been pretty vigilant about rotating the tires every 5K miles and keeping them aired at about 65-70 psi unloaded and 80 psi when loaded and pulling my big trailer. The wear is pretty even all around and I have only had 1 issue. The 1 and only issue I had was when I was coming back from Jon's massive farm shop while working on my trailer roof, I must have caught the edge of something along the way and gashed my side wall almost all the way thru. I am truly impressed that I didn't get a massive blow out and end up injured or have damage of some kind, which is a testament to the strength and durability of these goodyear's. I was a little cheap at the time and stopped at the local used tire joint and picked up a used tire (exact one) with the same amount of tread left, had it mounted and balanced for $60. So at 50K on the goodyear's I am down to 6/32nds....time for them to go!
So in my searching and watching what you all are putting on, etc, etc, etc.....I have decided to go with a set of general Grabber ATX. These come with a 50K warranty, 3 peak certified and ready to accept studs (not that i need them) with no prepping. these things come at 16/32nds, sipped, very quiet (surprisingly) for an AT tire, excellent traction in the icy rain (which I drove home in the day I got them), etc. specs side by side are basically identical, so I cant complain or argue that one is better than the other (for now). I picked these up for just under $1K all 4 mounted, balanced, etc.
so as time progresses, I will keep this thread updated.

So i assembled some ingredients, chopped up the brisket and onions!

I am going to rant here for a minute. Why? Because I am sick and tired of people using religion as a justification for their B.S. opinions/actions/etc! If you want to follow and live by the word of god, then gosh darn it JUST DO IT, worry about yourself and how you live your life! The way somebody chosen to follow and live by the word of god has absoutley nothing to do with you!
here is a prime example of what i am talking about!
so I saw a posting on some social media outlet that asked/stated.....and in typical "im a religious person with biased views because I think the way I worship the word of god is better than the way you worship the word of god, and the denomination of faith I chosen is better than the denomination of faith that you chosen" fashion posted the comment/question of
I’m looking for someone to Define “Church Clothes “
Does the Bible not tell/teach us to love thy neighbor!? Does the bible not tell/teach us to “not judge”!? Does the bible not tell/teach us to come as we are?!
If I am correct, then why is this even a question?! Why is this even something that is of anybody’s business/concern?! What makes your opinion of "Church Clothes" better or more correct or however you want to put it than somebody else's!?
This is a prime example of “mind your own business”! This is a prime example of why some folks are 2 faced, hypocritical, judgmental, truly believe that their opinion/s matters, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS, etc.
Somebody please refresh my memory or if I am unaware of the actual written word of god that says we his children are to be his judge/jury/executioners of his children?!
So the next time that somebody enters a house of worship and does not look like you or act like you or share your same opinions because of the way they choose to interpret the word of god and live their life according to what they believe is the word of god….. shut your judgmental mouth, walk over to them, shake their hand, and welcome them into GOD’s (not yours) house of worship…all with a smile on your face, because then you are truly living the word of GOD!

found this recipe and thought I would give it a try. relax....the pineapple really does not do anything for flavor, its there more for moisture and to keep it from sticking to the pan.
BAKED PINEAPPLE SALMON
INGREDIENTS:
1 large salmon fillet (about 3 lbs.) 17 pineapple rings, fresh or canned
Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp. melted butter 3 tbsp. sweet chili sauce
2 tbsp. freshly chopped cilantro 3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. freshly grated ginger 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish Lime wedges, for serving
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with cooking spray. In the center of the foil, lay pineapple slices in an even layer.
2. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper and place on top of pineapple slices.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together butter, chili sauce, cilantro, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Brush all over salmon fillet.
4. Bake until the salmon is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Switch the oven to broil, and broil for 2 minutes, or until fish is slightly golden. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions and serve with lime wedges
and as always, there is a printable version of this recipe attached.
