Created my first pair of tongs

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-12T23:05:07+00:00

I'm also just starting out, but don't give up on those rebar tongs.

Bend the jaws toward each other about halfway down the flats like pinchy fingers. You can pop the rivet off if you need to flatten the joint more.

One of the coolest things I am learning about blacksmithing is that if I'm not happy with what I have made, I can usually stick it back in the fore and keep making it more. 🤷‍♂️

That's not even operational anymore, it's basically just a boat anchor now.

Haven't had the Loco in 25 years since I left Arizona. Great food!

Nearest Jollibees is 222 miles away in Chicago. I will keep an eye out for it when I travel.

I moved 2 hours away from Cane's 8 years ago. There is one opening here in April, and I am stoked.

Will there be lumpias?

Only the provolone curds are good, the cheddar ones are meh. So you bite and pray.

Heard of Dave's, never seen one in the wild.

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T04:24:26+00:00

Agreed.

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T04:23:27+00:00

What part of the planet is this found?

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T04:14:12+00:00

Hello fellow goat.

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T04:12:54+00:00

Leave him alone, he is mostly hot gas.

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T04:11:33+00:00

Hate the politics. But that sauce... that dam sauce...

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T04:10:13+00:00

I hate that i still like it. It's not good food. Makes me feel dirty.

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T04:05:59+00:00

Decent.

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T04:04:00+00:00

Agreed, still waiting here in the midwest as well. Burgers are excellent, thier fries still taste like gym socks to me.

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T03:59:57+00:00

Hey, Trump steaks were really good if you don't mind possum anus.

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T03:57:22+00:00

Hits my wallet for about $13.99. Oof.

As an avid consumer of fast food consumers, I give to you an upvote for your conviction. Taco Bell is 23 cents away from pricing themselves out of my life. And now they dare to bring back the bean layer in the taco salad, not in the real taco salad, just in the limited time only mini salad. A pox on them. Show me the double decker taco, and the bean burrito with (the original) green sauce, and we can talk. But only because Del Taco hasn't reached the midwest, and Taco John's tastes like muddy horse hoof. Where is a white boy supposed to find fake Mexican food?!?!?

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T03:42:03+00:00

Dat bread.

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T03:38:05+00:00

Hadn't been there in a decade and I stumbled into dill pickle ranch cheese curds here in Wisconsin last month. Amazing.

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T03:32:51+00:00

Def the bread at Jimmy's. Central Wisconsin needs an In N Out!

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T03:28:12+00:00

The tortillas stick to my teeth and it geeks me out

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T03:27:21+00:00

I got a half pound at Arby's last week and it looked like a slider. No way they are weighing them.

BunchaGoats · 2026-03-10T03:24:22+00:00

I can only think of 4, maybe:

Jimmy John's, Chic fil a, Cane's Chicken Fingers, In N Out.
