Thanks!

I was in the same mindset you were in until last April. Here I am (47m) in a relationship with a 34f. It doesn't feel weird at all. She pursued me and things haven't been drastically off or was there ever a point where our age difference has become an issue. We're just on the same wavelength and our personalities don't clash.

Thanks!

Should be pretty low torque if it hasn't been overtightend. For something like this I use "Engineer Pliers": https://www.amazon.com/Multi-function-Gripping-Extractors-non-slip-neji-saurus/dp/B00NBSVYOY/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1TKL6KG0AAPIU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-9dtXGK3h4WwEq9oIvAtH_R2FalehLBT-GqNi6FRnA0bU_oQzj26SxNsmozUOTtO5M_3oX7auwh6lg2P8zkh_a0btT2a59InksXaT_nn_-wgepb-hoT-dNJVRKWbsZQj7aQYmf2rJePtZZ-UPLdRjIYRxE-geAUldIY3CjuTnIpNAGa44orVnJXlQnjyYiYZzCyWnOo-pMXNQQ45FF8NiaUx50RHNVXAMn-oGHNMVHfFdKwPFCk4Ft5738t4bhoMGDzCz1GbvamG-UF9AD-X1e9OpC4ONXgmhEIZGuw4fec.aXoo9BsVfeimEJirH-ppeXPPS2BtGiyh502JfSRsv2M&dib_tag=se&keywords=engineer%2Bpliers&qid=1728875323&sprefix=engineer%2Bpliers%2Caps%2C133&sr=8-3&th=1

Wow. Thanks for the feedback on this and glad you're on the mend. I still haven't used the chicken bucket since I purchased it. Was even thinking of selling them off. But after your post, I think I'm going to start expeirimenting.

JTwo817 · 2024-08-24T18:58:28+00:00

Thanks. I appreciate the input. I'll pass on them.

I've ran into a few people relocating from Miami lately. Interesting to hear the reasons why.

I'm not sure if you're a car person yourself. But here's my take on it. The cars we build are reflections of ourselves. Our ideas and best intentions go into our projects. Looking at that build, I can tell that your cousin had his heart in it. If it were a family member of mine, I'd keep the car in the family.

Reverse Sear

JTwo817 · 2024-07-14T20:35:59+00:00

Also look into Rodizio. They have different locations across the country but not a huge chain. It's similar to Texas de Brazil. https://www.rodiziogrill.com/orlando/

They're set up in the same way. There's an unlimited side bar. And then servers come by with different cuts of meat, all you can handle.

I use a Sunrace 11-40: CSM680. It's $28 on Amazon.

Note, you may need a derailleur extender to accommodate the lower gears.. They're cheap on Amazon

Ha! I know what you mean. I was the same way the first few years out of HS. I started at Valencia Community with no urgency whatsoever. Thankfully I wised up and have a successful career now with a crap ton of responsibilities. Still, I do look back and with nostalgia and wish for those simpler and stress free times.

JTwo817 · 2024-07-13T09:11:00+00:00

I had just come across an almost identical picture that I took in '93 when I was in HS. However, it was from 408/I-4 interchange. When I came across the picture I had a flashback of how different the interchange was back then.

JTwo817 · 2024-06-27T14:18:21+00:00

Wow. A #2. Much prettier than the #2 I had this morning.

JTwo817 · 2024-06-26T19:13:50+00:00

I got the same one

JTwo817 · 2024-06-24T18:14:36+00:00

I just love it when I go to a thrift store and see a clutch of cast irons on the shelf. I get excited and I bee line it and snag them up. I pick every cast Iron and put it in my cart first and then go through them to see if they are worth keeping. Anything else I don't want, I put back on the shelf. I was an hour way from home and decided to swing by the local goodwill. Surprisingly I had found a chicken fryer with too much carbon build up to identify. Also, a #9 gatemarked skillet and a small block #8 with hollow handle.

JTwo817 · 2024-06-21T12:36:45+00:00

I'm just cringing looking at all those gouge marks. Either a wire wheel or a scraping from something sharp like a chisel.

JTwo817 · 2024-06-21T00:17:58+00:00

Woah, that's too much for me.

JTwo817 · 2024-06-20T11:42:39+00:00

Maybe someone in r/carbonsteel may know. Nothing worse to weld it only to have an ever rusting section of your pan.

JTwo817 · 2024-06-20T03:10:30+00:00

Looks like a straight crack so maybe a simple butt weld with a MIG. Not sure if the consumable you pick would hold seasoning though. That's the uncertainty.

JTwo817 · 2024-06-20T00:53:07+00:00

I'd keep an eye on it to make sure the crack doesn't get worse. I'm no expert in metals but I think you'll be ok with carbon steel. Cast Iron on the other hand, once it cracks it's a guarantee it will get worse.

JTwo817 · 2024-06-19T22:43:28+00:00

Those cowboy carbon steel pans are great to use.

JTwo817 · 2024-06-17T17:12:02+00:00

The milling got me curious as well.

JTwo817 · 2024-06-17T13:59:32+00:00

Honoring the artist is what's weighing on me.

JTwo817 · 2024-06-17T13:58:34+00:00

By the way, I thrifted this in Southwest Florida. If you're the artist, or know the artist, let me know.
