    You should have seen the packaging job! Those things could have fallen out of an airplane and been fine. I'll have to thank Bluto. :D

    Both of mine are seized. This spring I will need to take a day and cut them off and press new bushings in. New ones will get anti-seize applied.

    That's the correct way to do it. People are dumb when they wait until the weather is coming in to try and get home.

    Yes. That will probably end my marriage. The wife loves Buceee"s and I will lose her to them. :rofl:

    I get why they are choosing the location they are but it is also right next to the local peeler bar. Ahem, I mean Adult Entertainment establishment.

    I thought I heard they were opening one out near the Dells. I still remember driving past one a few years ago in Tennessee or Alabama and being shocked by how ridiculously huge it was!

    OTB!!!

    Not that I've ever been in there. :anonymous:

    It's going to be massive, they are saying 120 pumps.

    Saying 94 & Elmwood, trying to picture that, its been a long time since I've been up that way.

    Deforest is the other one I was thinking about.

    It'll be interesting to see how Kwik Trip responds, since they seem to be trying to eliminate the competition.

    Kwik Trip is building a distribution center in DeForest, their second one. $1.5 million grant from the State to build it.

    I'm sure Kwik Trip is pissed, but it shouldn't affect their margins that much. There are 509 stores/stations in Wisconsin alone.

    I don’t use any setting over 4 unless I’m boiling water. Once it gets to a boil it goes down to 7

    cast iron I’m usually at 2-3

    lot of people are impatient and try to rush things. My aunt can burn brats and still have them cold in the middle.

    I'm sure every stove is different. Actually, even the burners are different on mine. But, I'm anywhere between low and 10 depending on what I'm doing. 10 is usually reserved for boiling water, searing, and popcorn.

    I prefer to do my brats on low heat. I start them before the grill. They're fully cooked before they hit the grill.


    I've never been to either one. I keep thinking I'll stop at a Bucees on the way to Florida, but I only pass one, and it never seems to be a good time to stop. Where are Wally's? I don't know if I've ever seen one.
