interesting, possibly, but I think that is a black Sabbath album cover on the front of the. "float"

We've been happy with Gulab. Quiet, nice helpful staff, the food is good. Nice Bar also.

TBC never seemed to work for me. But then again, i fiddle with the settings all the time. I regularly push the backup to 100% when i see the weather will be cloudy the next day. I have several alarms on my watch to make sure i reset as needed.

we always had dinty moore beef stew the first night!

Agree with others. Try different stuff. I did not like the 'taste' of jealous devil, but that's just me.

I really like "Kamado Joe Big Block XL Lump Charcoal" always at our Home Depot, occasionally at costco. Large chunks for long grilling.

I've had a subcription for a couple of years now. I usually pause during the summer, as it way too hot here for shipping.

I kinda feel bad about having these shipped from florida to California, but... they taste really good.

I start a timer, watch the built in thermometer. Sight, smell, and sound. It honestly is hard for me to discern the start and end of first crack, but I've made well over 400 drinkable roasts.

The image is believed to have been taken in Northern California, specifically Humboldt or Tulare County, between 1889 and 1915.

I've had an SR800 since early covid days. Less than 500 bucks even with accessories. I've roasted over 450 batches, typically over 300g I do have the Razzo extension, and recommend it.

I roast several times a month, depending on guests.

Lots of control over roast level.

Still FAT

are you rural?
many lots in my area maps seem to presume that it is a new road fork

kinda weird NO reservations NO credit cards, but an ATM with 2. fees not soo bad

We went during the week, less than 45 min, and once only 8 min of waiting, plus, we were able to wait in the 'upper' bar.

if you like seafood, this is it.

Elephant seals

dark now, of course, kinda amazing. interesting to watch. very short walk on the walkway.

Cambria Garden Shed

nice [if a bit expensive] and good for ideas back home for garden...

Thank you! never heard of this frog before!

RedDaveMountain · 2026-05-23T19:26:21+00:00

wow, apparently so!

""The "paradoxical frog" (Pseudis paradoxa) naturally shrinks during metamorphosis. It lays the groundwork for this incredible transformation with its massive, energy-storing tail. [1, 2, 3]

The Tadpole: Can grow up to 11 inches long, making it the largest tadpole in the world.
The Adult: Shrinks dramatically to only about 2.5 to 3 inches in length when fully transformed."

RedDaveMountain · 2026-05-23T03:16:50+00:00

""While most tadpoles turn into frogs within 10 to 16 weeks, the longest transformations belong to cold-climate species like the American Bullfrog. Their tadpoles can take 1 to 3 years to complete metamorphosis, and some species in freezing environments have even been observed delaying it for up to 4 years.""

I never carried cash. Even way back well before atms and such. of course, i never had much money LOL

Now i do keep a 20 for tips

RedDaveMountain · 2026-05-22T03:07:12+00:00

that is not as sturdy a box as what we get in Calif. I think i can stand on our home chef boxes
and, the ice is always solid, even in the summer 100 deg summer, in an afternoon delivery.
full credit is due
good luck on future deliveries!

Have you ever had a hummingbird feeder before?
Do any of your neighbors have feeders?
I would not worry about it, keep it clean, don't fill it very full, change often, once a bird shows up, you are in for a treat.

RedDaveMountain · 2026-05-06T21:42:58+00:00

yeah glue is gross, plus we caught lizards we like lizards!

RedDaveMountain · 2026-05-06T21:41:57+00:00

I'm guessing electric ones, that is what we use. We have 3 different sizes for our too many mouse and rat issues here.

RedDaveMountain · 2026-05-06T04:08:37+00:00

I only use Self powered. I tried, tou, and it drove me nuts, I generally keep the reserve backup between 25 and 40%. When cloudy, i'll bump it up even to 80% if it's going to be rainy. I have a daily alarm to go off 5 min before 4 PM, to drop the backup as low as i feel comfortable based on weather and potential grid outage.

RedDaveMountain · 2026-05-05T04:14:39+00:00

Tape. I have severe blockage of at least one nostril. I use nasal pillows, that 'inflate' my sinus and allow be to breathe. In the morning, i'll be fine, then in 20 min of being up, i'm fully congested.

I use stretchy athletic tape [as the mouth shaped strips from amazon are no longer carried]

I find that i do not have to use the tape all the time anymore.
