The Village in Boise is a great mall. And there is a Popeye's there that is pretty good (efficiently run, if you can believe it).

re: Onion Rings

Paper thin is the way to go. Use a mandolin to slice the onions. Soak in milk for about 20 minutes. Dredge the rings in salted flour.
Add some extra flour to the pile of onion rings while waiting for the oil to come up to temperature to keep them from sticking.
Fry at 370 until golden brown, about four minutes.

Just replace the solenoid, you think, if tightening up the wiring doesn't work? I see I can get one on Amazon for 13 bucks.
Thanks. That makes sense when I think about it. Why should a valve suddenly have two problems at the same time? Maybe it's because I pulled the wiring lose when I took off the top to clean out the valve.
Help with a sprinkler valve
Posted by Roscoe14 on 3/26/26 at 9:48 am
I turned on the water for my lawn sprinklers, and one of the valves would not shut off. I opened it up and removed some debris, which fixed that problem. But now it won't turn on when I try to operate it from the controller.
I know the valve works, as it opens when I turn the bleed screw. I have tried twisting the solenoid all sorts of ways, but that doesn't help. And I doubt it is a controller issue, as there are two other valves wired with the difficult one and they work fine.
Anybody have any ideas what to try? A new solenoid?
The brand is Hunter. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This is a commonly held belief, but it just isn't true. According to the Idaho Secretary of State, the people coming in from California, Oregon, and Washington (they call us COWS) are registering Republican at a greater percentage than the existing population. As he put it: "Idaho is a red state, and it's getting redder."

People are scrupulously honest when they tell stories about opposing team fan bases.
Just as they are about hot women they have slept with, the size of fish that they have caught, and cool things they did with an aircraft.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
One of those things tried to kill me once. We were standing on a flight line in Norway. The Hog taxied too close to a wood hanger, and all of a sudden the world was full of shrapnel. I yelled "hit the deck" and dove into a snowbank, with my back seater a half second behind.
Nobody hurt, but it messed up a couple of aircraft as well as the rotor on the Hog.

I guess it depends on where you live, but in Los Angles (where we used to live) it isn't great advice. We looked into it and there was nothing available but pit bulls.

The wife (no pics) brought me a mug warmer. You know, the kind that you put your coffee cup on and it keeps it warm.
Except for this one I had to set up an account and have a password to get it to work.
Think about that, I need to have a password to keep my coffee warm.
Anyway, it is still sitting under a sink someplace.

Stuff like this just reminds me of how much I like it here in Idaho.
I expect that we would have a had a couple of wild days if the bombing had started when the markets were open. But, with the bombing starting on Saturday, by the time the markets opened Monday morning we had a much better idea what was going on.

This isn't correct. A state court where you reside would almost certainly have jurisdiction.
You might want to check out the Case Lee series. The books all have "Job" in the title, for example the first one is The Suriname Job.
Case is a former Delta Force operator who now works doing "investigations" for a mysterious Swiss company. The books are very realistic and you can tell that the author, Vince Milam, has lived at least some of the experiences he writes about.

Rommel was good. Not as good as Heinz Guderian (aka Quick Heinz), in my humble opinion.
