I do it because the calculator says to, but what will happen to the rice if you don't skim grease?

Mark Farner and Santana took the same path to the same outcome. Write guitar tracks that transcend time early, try out drugs, hit it big, fall off the face of the earth, re-emerge sober, write biggest hit of respective career, play at a Jazz festival Louisiana, teach the crowd Christ is Lord.

We need a new breakfast taco spot. On the rare occasion I grab breakfast its hard to beat a sausage biscuit and hashbrowns from McShack

Sorrento on choctaw is best priced if you are pouring yourself. Think we paid around $150/yd + delivery last time we used them.

The grates are normally installed before pouring concrete. I don't see any fasteners or holes for them in the pictures you posted but the few I've helped put in had bolts that held the grate down, Maybe clean the rails out and see if yours will snap back in solidly without all that debris.

I remember Landslide making me upset as a yute.

Also remember being obsessed with "Sitting on the Dock of The Bay" to the point that the cassette disappeared out of moms van...

We did it for a TD get together once and it was awesome. 8 courses all small plates...host paid for everyone's meals but we still tipped the chef $100/person. Probably the closest I've been to an OT baller. This was when ZOM was around $0.40.... No idea how you can be sure of where chef is sourcing proteins/ingredients. With how great this stuff looked & tasted, I wouldn't care if he bought it at Walmart.

Damn I had this a month ago and it tasted like they poured a gallon jug into a bowl and added some liquid smoke. Solid 5/10.

What a great show. They really hit the mark bringing that back in its entirety. Sounded great live too

re: Tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets

Posted by MrBobDobalina on 6/8/26 at 11:52 am to Royalfishing

I've done it for 4 or 5 years and only had one really good crop year with tomatoes. Cherries seem to do better for me. Ended up moving to 15 gallon grow bags this year and have had better results across the board.

Peppers and herbs did great in 5 gallon buckets last year but i think the tomatoes never quit searching for fresh dirt and once the roots find all 4 (5?) walls they start to panic and never produce the way a plant in the ground will.

The best of both worlds is the raised planters and I will be switching over to those for next year.

Should have installed 1" but you can also install a residential booster pump. Just another thing to maintain. Have one at our camp that's 20' in the air and has needed only minor stuff since we installed roughly 2013. Had to change a capacitor February of this year but its still chugging and caps are cheap.

We tore them up Easter weekend on the hospital side. I've never caught one out there before then but we went out around 9 pm and stayed till the bite slowed down after midnight. Uncle had a lead on the hotspot. Pictures were about 2 minutes before he fell over backwards and almost went swimming.

Idk how you can still show face in here bruh. You had your chance when it dropped to $75 4 months ago but I think everyone in here is up well over 100%. I bought small and late and I'm sitting at +441% at this moment. We all know you hate yourself for missing out but its ok! There will probably be another NBIS in your lifetime

Don't forget about the rape and pillaging of natural resources! All the stories of not counting the number of fish caught that day, but the number of ice chests that were filled....returning 6-8 man limits of ducks to the camp by 7:30 am only to go back out and kill more...its ok though, I would've done the same thing with a ice cold schlitz in my hand

I have no proof whatsoever that these pots are anything other than a perfect replica of vintage magnalite, I just don't trust China enough with something I'm cooking in weekly for my family. The shoeless 11 year old running the forge that day had his pick of leftover car batteries and mri magnets to make the perfect alloy for us couyons to burn a roux in.

Its good.

Martin's is in 2nd place for me, but the ranch chips they make in house make the drive to Calvin's not worth it.

I didn't allow anything. This was foisted upon us by California and the CAFE standards. I drove my 95 F-150 until the wheels fell off and put them back on a few times. Like recycling, its an illusion that gives blue hairs something to yell about and gives DC grifters another unreachable goal to campaign for/against forever.
