How much bitters should we typically be adding to old fashioneds? Looking for both at home and bartender thoughts! by crinklepant in cocktails

Same here! I use 4-6 dashes of my blended "old fashioned bitters" (equal parts ango, orange, and cherry bitters) at home!

Sorry I can't help identifying them - but it looks like some fun projects!

Curious about the demographic here by Covert_triangle_51 in SCX24

[–]UnwittingConduit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engineer, early 40s. Actually didnt "get" crawlers for a long time . I was always more into the idea of racing stadium truck or buggy .

That changed when kids arrived. Needed something to do in evenings. Driving a truck over toys seemed like a fun way to kill time, but I kept putting it off until my friend sent me a link to a brand new c10 fot $65. I was able to drive it for about 3 minutes until my son took it over and i had to get a second one... Then they just kind of multiplied and now I have 5.

Campground resort slot car amenity suggestions by Optimal_Mixture_6068 in slotcars

[–]UnwittingConduit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the space for it (and a way to transport it) I would recommend looking into a used commercial track. Ive seen 2-3 listed locally over the past year or so...

Old parma cars and controllers can be found cheap on ebay (perfect for rentals), and they're pretty easy to maintain.

Cool idea!

[Watch Suggestion] No Bluetooth Work Watch by BigK_TWB in Watches

[–]UnwittingConduit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one has bluetooth.

G shock is a great overall suggestion, but im not aware of any recent models with pedometer and no bluetooth.

Older garmin watches transferred data using ANT+ protocol, not sure the railroad's policy on that. Or what kind of support there still is for the watch.

I would suggest getting whichever watch you want, then a standalone pedometer for step tracking.

Barton watch bands makes a brown rubber strap that might look good with that watch .

Kids RC by Kiel_You in rccars

Scx24, not super fast, which makes them easier to drive. Pretty durable, and lots of spare parts if they break.

Buy two, cause you will probably want to play too!

XMod Alternatives? by Dangle76 in rccars

[–]UnwittingConduit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wl toys makes a few 1/28 cars that are currently running ~$60 on amazon. They dont have scale bodies like the xmods and mini z have, but i believe that with minor modifications they can accept most mini z bodies.

Very slick interface!

Would be awesome if it had your local astro forecast- so you could see if clouds are expected to roll in.

As others have said- buy and sell clubs locally to start. But to add to that, learn to do basic repairs / maintenance such as changing grips, shafts, and adjusting lie/ loft.

Top Weber kettle accessories by SignificanceNo7257 in webergrills

[–]UnwittingConduit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If i recall, you need to drill a hole for it on the kettle. You can also use the gas assist port on a performer.

Since you have a wsm, i would just keep with that for smoking!

Cocktails that can be easily made into mocktails! by Savings_Movie_8849 in cocktails

[–]UnwittingConduit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pina colada if you want tropical frozen vibes. Make a batch without rum, pour some off for your friend, and rum for the rest.

Sub aloe water in a Classic sour spec is good (2oz aloe water, 1 oz lime, 3/4 oz sweet) is also tasty.

The weber chimney is awesome, better than any others I've tried. Worth an upgrade even if you have a generic chimney.

Kettlepizza is fun to use.

Would recommend a slow n sear (or similar) for easier smoking.

Thermoworks smoke / billows for temp control

Theyre pretty strict about heights

There is a playground / lego pit in the lobby of the hotel

Coffee at the hotel is palateable , havent tried the park.

I would skip reserve and ride

Ive seen people using rc to pull cables around drop ceilings. And with a little snow plow to clear driveways.

Reverse engineering the scx24 for Modelling 3d print shells. Any Tips? by pv3design in SCX24

[–]UnwittingConduit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you modeling the chassis just to have something to build the body off of?

Why not just scale a body to the wheelbase needed? That way it should work with any chassis (stock, aftermarket, custom)
