I've got a 2 stroke Echo I swear by. Bought it 4 years ago and have not had any trouble with it in all that time. Easy to load new trimmer line since you can do so without removing the spool----starts easy and runs strong.
Pretty sure it was under $200 at the time but probably a bit higher now after 4 years time.

Double post. Apologies.
No apologies needed. It deserves to be said over and over again.
That episode of "Seinfeld" with Lloyd Bridges was comedy gold. I'm not a big fan of Seinfeld, but that show had me in stitches.
The other one I really liked was called "The Contest" with the gang having a bet who could go the longest without self-sexual gratification. Kramer was hilarious in that one.

I loved the old Groucho Marx show "You Bet Your Life" and the silly duck that would drop down if you said the "Secret Word" for a cash prize------something like $50 I think.
Another favorite of mine was the old "Amos "n" Andy" show. Somehow George "Kingfish" Stevens would manage to con his friend, Andrew "Andy" Brown on every show then George would go home and get browbeaten by his wife Saphire and her mother.

Step it up a notch by also using Italian sausage. I make my own sausage and will not case up what I plan to use for red gravy dishes.
I make small meatballs, much like when making Swedish Meatballs, brown them off in a bit of olive oil and then add them to the gravy.
Also, make your red gravy pretty thick so your lasagna doesn't turn out runny.
Gary Oldman is one of my favorite actors and he's known for playing "Over the Top" type characters and playing them well.
His take on Jackie Flannigan, the loose cannon in that crime family was great acting and the way his volatility overshadowed logic and reasoning had to lead to his eventual downfall------------and at the hands of his brother making it an even sadder ending for him.
It was art imitating life since there have been several real life Mafia members who were killed by their own blood relatives.

I wanted to start using beef tallow. Does it change the taste of the meal any.
Tallow is my go-to for browning meat. I buy large hunks of beef and break it down myself and any fat trimmed off the slabs gets cooked down to make tallow. On average I get a good quart of it when I break down a whole N.Y. Strip, a big brisket or get a big slab of prime sirloin to part out for steaks.
Any sinew with meat that's trimmed off goes into a pot to make some beef stock. Nothing goes to waste.
I've never done it, but many folks swear tallow is their go-to for making fries. I don't eat much fried food now and fries are cooked in an air fryer for a healthier option.

ROKU and MGM Presents. It was on earlier today.

Just finished watching it when I saw it offered on my streaming service. Probably been at least 10 years since I last watched it and it holds up well for a movie 36 yrs. old.
Excellent work by Sean Penn, Ed Harris, Gary Oldman and Robin Wright Penn, plus a host of other familiar faces from the "Mobster Genre" of film.
Glad I saw it on the menu and decided to watch it.

Toss a handful of rusty nails on the soil by the stems and turn over the soil so they are buried under it.
That will change the color of the blooms. If your plant produces pink blooms, they will gradually shift to blue with some being 2 toned until the iron works its way into the plants system.
I did this to a bunch of hydrangeas at a house I had years ago after hearing about adding iron to the soil.

I spoke with the HVAC guy that ran the stack coming through the wall, and he said stamdard single wall 26 gauge stuff will work and is within code, since it's in the garage.
Then go with that since it is a hell of a lot cheaper than double wall vent pipe and if within code, you're good to go.
Shrimp fettuccini is a good option.
Shrimp boiled in seafood seasoning, along with the sides makes for a good omelet for breakfast.
Cut some up if they are big enough and toss them in a mixed salad for some protein.

Oh, the old Kamala Harris "Word Salad" responses. That would drive me to irrational actions likely getting me called into HR for ANOTHER longwinded explanation for why I'm not a "Team Player".

Same here. I can't stand how it tends to stick to the top of my mouth when eating it------------and I ate a lot of it as a kid.
Now, it's either brown whole wheat or my homemade bread.
All good but the sticky white bread. Give me a couple slices of my homemade rosemary/parmesan bread and I'm in hog heaven.

About half a million people die of diarrheal disease in India every year.
Less than 40 die in all of the USA every year.
Those numbers are staggering, but I can see why. Sanitation is almost non-existent in India for most of its population.
