    I run cheap gas due to funds and daily mileage. I don’t notice that problem but I drive some hills and mostly flat land. I have noticed a rough idle so may be time to do some cleaning.

    I'm more on the lookout at work for people in trouble. A person out walking can mean their getting exercise or they had vehicle trouble. 90% of the time I'll stop and ask. The other 10% I can tell they really don't need help. There are times when it's obvious there's a problem like you can see a vehicle stuck. Depending on how it looks and their attitude is what kind of help they get. If it's a rig full of beer cans, slurred speech and a crash they'll get first aid and the folks with a badge. Everyone gets help, it just depends on circumstances as to what kind.

    :pccoffee: Good morning. 15° Sunny and no wind. Waiting on the plow to come by so I can start on the driveway. Icicles are getting long on the roof, about time to start filling stockings with CaCl and wing them up on the roof. My day is already planned for me I guess.

    67 289 Mustang burnt orange. Second car.

    First car was also a Ford. Cortina baby blue about like this one but the steering wheel was on the correct side.

    [​IMG]

    Stacked a lot of hay bales at $1 an hour and skinned a lot of muskrats to get it. But once I did was able to drive to the Valley and make some real money at more than a dollar an hour to eventually buy the Mustang. When I pass a high school today it always amazes me how many new cars are parked in the school lots.

    And thanks for the reminder that I forgot all about the Language Services project at work. Been more than 2 weeks but so swamped totally forgot about it, until now. Federal Law for medical care, including sign language. Ugh. First thing tomorrow morning. Who am I kidding by the time my ass hits the chair in the morning 20 people will want 30 different things.

    Me either.

    2nd Gen factory Baja and loved it when I first got it. Heavy ARE MX extended height cap with additional weight in the back bed mat, etc. After a year had to make a decision. Either hang dingle balls off the rear to finish the low rider look or do something with the rear suspension. Went with air bags with daystar cradles and happy again. Had AAL on my Xterra (they have same problem) and not happy, eventually they sag too.

    Well.
    The dehydrator is not square for one.
    To stop the length you need to put the gun vertical and “cut” the piece off.
    That would push the meat down and between the tray slits.
    Then it would roll over and around and attach itself to the tray.
    Making it a pita to remove and clean.
    So by laying it down on wax paper and freezing it a little you can remove it from the wax paper without it falling apart and place it where you need to on the tray. Since the gun is big I couldn’t arrange it efficiently. As it was I only used half the suggested mixture of my packets and cure as it wanted 5 pounds of meat and I only used 2 1/2. I had one tray left so doing a full load not be feasible.
    I know most won’t do it that way and just shoot it on the tray, and I know it’s more work, but I decided to do it this way. I did try a few shots on the bare tray and I didn’t like what happened.
    If you had metal trays it more than likely not make a difference but I don’t want to worry about cracking my plastic trays. The trays clean up real well.

    I have no idea why they make most dehydrators rounded. Square would be way more efficient. I may take a trip across town to CAL Ranch today and look at their dehydrators again. They have square ones and bigger units so I can put up more product so I don't have to run as often.

    Probably has to do with the efficiency and "eveness" of the airflow. I would imagine the corners wouldn't dry at the same rate as the center.

    Of course, you could prep all 5 lbs at once and freeze what doesn't fit your machine. Then you wouldn't have to knead and squeeze your meat as often...

    I’m really glad I got mine even though it’s kinda round.
    It has the display and temp control. Not low ,med ,high. 5 degrees can make a difference.

    square ones are kind of a new thing.were round for years.Gardenmaster was one of the best but new square ones are suppose to be more efficent and dry better

    Yeup there is a section in my manual that shows air flow.
    Makes sense.

    When we were growing up.
    Before we got our license.
    My sister could change a tire, check oil, drive a std.
    I agree......

    Depend on everybody else and then bitch and moan about it.
