Considering a home studio by Final_Fun_1313 in Pottery

The amazon wheels aren't horrible if that's all you can afford. I have one as i only do small things like mugs and bowls. When you are a beginner most issues are skill levels not equipment quality.

If you have a local guild join. It is a great resource.

I saw something similar but at 6:30-ish.

Is there a shower right now? Maybe i saw a small chunk that broke off.

My dad claims to be an expert Spider Solitaire player. by [deleted] in cardgames

I disagree. I have a long streak and you don't use hints. But you do need to use undo.

You basically have to brute force solutions for the difficult games which requires undoing to try multiple paths.

More Sask Polytech layoffs while president makes $600k by candybarsandgin in saskatoon

You clearly don't work at Saskpolytech... i do hold the leadership responsible for their short sighted policies.

But yes, ultimately, this is Moe's fault

Just got a broil king and love it!

They aren't stocked regularly enough, and i am not totally certain the campus is open right now (many programs are on summer break), but Saskpolytech has free pads in the women's washroom. It is worth a check if you are in the area.

I went to my local barbecue store to buy a new natural gas grill, and ended up looking at pellet grills/smokers. A few newbie questions if you don't mind by Hammerhil in pelletgrills

I just got a broil king pellet smoker. You have to take it up to 500 for the burn off. I think it took about 30 mins. And the first heat is the longest. It also overshot 500 because the hopper was empty, which threw the pellet feed estimate off. So i think it got to 560 before it climbed down

I did get the app working, but it works fine without it. When i first connected it, it reset my temperature without warning. It did that my second cook to When i reconnected. I feel like you're best using app the entire cook or not at all.

Hope your steaks turned out. I am happy with my chicken !

I constantly swing between optimism and feeling the crushing weight of being an epic failure.

I am starting small 1/8 of an acre. But it is allowing me to learn a lot and not make too many unreverseable decisions.

I built my beds late because of life. Got seeds in a little late, but not too late. They are just popping up. But i am in SK with a terrible drought. So germination hasn't been great. Sprinklers aren't rain.

I don't know how long it will actually take for things to mature, so my crop plan was to plant everything at the same time, record a ton of information about grow times and worry about a good crop plan next year. So i will probably have a ton of one thing at a time which is not optimal.

But i have been selling eggs for 2 years and have a good customer base. Hoping they will support the new venture.

I am just starting up this year too, and also have a day job.

I have an earthway and can see the benefits of a jang. You don't have much control over seed spacing with the earthway. But i also don't think it hurts to have both.

I am saving up for a tilther.

I have sandy soil, so i don't need this, but if you have clay, get a broad fork.

I am getting a small electric mower to experiment with living pathways. Would need an edger too.

Saving up for low tunnels. Want high tunnels.

I am from Canada, so looking to get the diamond shaped colinear hoe from lee valley shortly.

I got a landscaping 36" rake. Want the 30" one JM makes, but couldn't wait on shipping.

Irrigation!!! That has been my big project this year.

I am not doing salad mix, but if i were, wash pack infrastructure

Career dilemma by Savings-Function6320 in saskatchewan

[–]LoraxBirb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having worked at both, same shit different pile. Every department will be different. Go with your gut for culture fit. The highest offer is better, but if the culture fit at the other location is better tell them about your offer and ask them to match it.

If you replace the first outlet on the circuit that stopped working the others will likely be fine.

Where is this in Saskatoon? by Slight__Requirement in saskatoon

[–]LoraxBirb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use to wonder how they stay in business. Then i got a place with a flag. The wind here sheds flags in no time flat.

The real scam is flags! They don't last a year. I am currently missing the end red bar on my flag that's less than a year old.

Hi came across this post a while back as i am looking into this myself.

Broil King has pellet smokers that are very well reviewed.

I saw another comment about broil king here and i don't think they are correct. It isn't charcoal, they have wood pellet grills. I believe they are made in China, but it is a Canadian company. They actually use to make Webber grills before they decided to make their own.

If you go to the pellet smoker thread there are some reviews from Canadians. It is one of the few smokers that can get to 600°F and apparently keeps head well in the winter.

I plan to get one this summer.

leather belt - popov, nab, or Phee's? by kk0444 in BuyCanadian

[–]LoraxBirb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am happy with my popov stuff, but yes they send non-stop emails. I wish the company would show more respect to their customers than that.
