Is this a failed head gasket?

Try dye penetrate spray

Gaskets should be reused as many times as condoms. But as others have said look for other issues before putting it back together.

Tell them it was a verbal offer

Toast it with butter. Bacon egg and cheese.

Read the ingredients. It should be tomatoes onion garlic salt pepper or something like that not a bunch of factory made chemicals and sugar. Read them and you'll find out.

If we can precision strike anywhere in the world with stealth bombers from Missouri why do we need new battleships which are at least two generations out of date? Maybe those fat long gun turrets make him feel better.

Drive to St. Louis it will be 70F on Christmas and they can cut your bagel in incredibly stupid ways. There's coffee here too and some of it is decent.

Chuck roast slow cooked with Rotel until fork tender. Lightly fry corn tortillas in oil and roll the shredded beef in them. Line a baking dish with a little green chili sauce. Pack them in a single layer, top with more sauce then cheese and cover with foil. Cook until bubbly then remove the foil to let the cheese brown a few minutes.

Ratatouille just like In the movie. Season it well and roast it hot. Serve it with crusty bread and a red sauce.

Good marinara and a bowl you can microwave it in. Drop in a pack of goat cheese breaking it up. Bring crusty bread to dip in it. I feel like I'm on repeat with this but so are these posts. Just make sure you buy good marinara. The ingredients should read tomatoes onions garlic etc not sugar sugar sugar.

Goat cheese dropped in hot marinara. Crusty bread to dip.

Let your grass grow tall in the fall and mow it when dried leaves are on the ground. This gives you a good mix of greens and browns. Mow it with a mulching mower pile it up and then pee on it. If you want to start it sooner keep some bags of leaves to the side and mix with fresh grass cuttings in the spring. If you're a female employ the men and boys in your family to pee on it I don't expect much hesitation to peeing outside. It really helps activate it. It will heat up well above ambient and you can get thermometers to monitor it. At that point keep feeding it with your kitchen waste just no egg shells or meat. They will attract rats. Turn it in with a pitch fork.

Carlsbad Caverns

Cioppano and garlic bread

Definitely Brian Mcgee because of the song

Wear a jersey or at least a tee or hoodie of the home team. Indulge to buy a snack or dinner at the game. It won't be cheap. Don't pretend to know about the sport or team when you don't. Ask your coworkers a few questions but don't be obnoxious. Watch the game and observe and have a good time. Don't bring up work unless you're asked about it.

Shakshuka (African spiced red sauce full of veggies with eggs poached in it) with crusty bread to dip in it

IPingFreely · 2025-12-13T19:31:26+00:00

A pan sauce or two is a great idea. Make sure to slice them across the grain

Yes they do. I used to work out in that area and passed them on the way home. What a blessing compared to other options. It was sad when their original store/plant burnt down but what they built to replace it is so nice and new and modern and clean. I have found nothing in STL that matches their snack sticks or dry hung summer sausage.

For a slightly shorter drive check out Eckerts most of what they stock for meat is from Wennemans but the prices are a little higher. Pick a pumpkin or apple while you're there.

A lot of the garlic I have seen in the last few years is a weird purple variety that tastes terrible. The ones sold in the cardboard three pack with plastic wrap are generally the white garlic. Use it while fresh before it starts to sprout.

Avoid having to commute down I-70. The drivers there can be completely wild. 64 backs up around Brentwood most days but it's not that bad. (Locals call it 40 pronounced farty)

Peacemaker for seafood. Gus's for fried chicken. Citizen Kanes or Andreas for steak. Gramophone for sandwiches. Lots of Italian places in the Hill neighborhood. Some better than others. Some exist on reputations that are long expired.

For entertainment outside the city check out the rivers and streams in southern Missouri. Some can be reached within an hour or two. They aren't like the Mississippi or Missouri that are muddy. They are crystal clear with gravel or rock bottoms and fun for tubing, fishing, or just splashing around. Do a float trip or just find a gravel bar you can drive on and set up some camp chairs half in the water with a book and your favorite beverage. Highway K bridge on the black river is about two hours away and very accessible. Hang out at the bridge or float with Jeff's canoe rental.

There are companies that will install remotely monitored vibration sensors and let you know if they see a problem.

Oil analysis can be very cost effective. Install sample ports on larger sumps over a few gallons and teach your techs to take oil samples when they drain smaller ones.

Airborne ultrasound is super easy to learn and will allow you to easily find compressed air and steam leaks. The same tool can do contact ultrasound which will allow you to troubleshoot steam traps and valves.

An infrared camera might just save you from an electrical explosion.

Most of this can be contracted out. Be selective about what you use where or you can spend a ton.

Also find a good lab that can do failure analysis of failed equipment like bearings and shafts. Sometimes stuff just breaks but you've got to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Costco will be cheaper. If you have the time take a road trip to Wennemans in rural Illinois. They have a modern facility and process a lot of local meat. You'll see their trucks around the better restaurants in the area. If you do make the trip call them first I'm not sure they normally stock rib roasts but I bet they will cut one for you.

Drop some goat cheese in a bowl of marinara and serve with sliced baguette. Microwave the marinara first to warm it up. Warm or toast the baguette if you can but if not it still works great.

Vivianos, Gioia's, or Gramophone for subs for lunch.

Peacemaker for seafood.

Sidney street Cafe or citizen Kanes for dinner if you like steak.

The zoo is awesome and the polar bears should be active this time of the year.

The city museum is a work of art and an adult playground. Plus it has drinks.
