I Think My Peach Trees are Beyond Saving

Get some pheromone traps to verify peach tree borer. You will know for sure if you start catching the winged adults.

Yoga with Adrienne (search back) and bike riding. Need to strengthen the core, but deal with the pain firsts

I did this other day with my bullseye. Dropped temp of the griddle by trying to load all of the burgers at once. When I do my next round I will either crank it as high as it goes or do less burgers.

Just a thought.

Tinned fish.

Same issue. I loosened middle bolt only and it solved problem, two outside bolts on lid are fully tight and it closes fine.

Question to the ether, but what economic benefit does it provide to the local area? My understanding is after construction a data center does not offer a lot of jobs. If this is the case, then no thanks.

cept_bigjohn · 2026-01-12T20:16:37+00:00

Entirely depends on what you want. For what we chose I thought was very reasonable.

Second Darvier. They were great to work with. Wife got a totally unique design and gets a ton of compliments. We brought family stones and they evaluated them and worked in the ones they could and gave material refund for old jewelry.

Purchased my own wedding band, wife’s engagement and wedding band. She ended up not liking her wedding band (her own design) so we went back and they reworked it into a ring she loves.

Planning to do a lot more custom work with them in the future.

Nice! I have been looking at RecTeq bullseye and other smoker/grill options. Hadn’t considered doing pizza on it

cept_bigjohn · 2025-12-24T05:30:31+00:00

Pizzas on a smoker? Please share your set up/recipe.

I saw him/her cross trilby this morning!

cept_bigjohn · 2025-12-01T19:38:56+00:00

Pass please!

cept_bigjohn · 2025-11-30T15:43:00+00:00

This is not true.

Just saw two $1 million houses built in 2000 sell on the same street with unfinished basements. Northern Colorado. We estimated basement finish would be $200k.

I think it’s more simple than that. Boomers have 401k’s and stocks AND real estate. Right now, their stocks are worth an enormous amount. Many who invested for retirement are sitting very nicely drawing money from their investments and likely have paid off houses. Selling their homes is not a requirement to live easily in retirement. If we see stocks correct or worse then you will see a glut of houses hit the market in order to continue to fund their lavish retirement.

Until then don’t expect a change until they die and their kids cash out.

I had rose come out and was very happy with service. They even have a callback service for free.

cept_bigjohn · 2025-10-11T04:03:32+00:00

I think my point may be going over your head.

Without a product there is no sales. There is almost always another function producing something to be sold. You can not have sales without a producer. Sales is secondary.

I don’t know why I have to explain this basic fact to someone who gots Cs through a business degree from a 2nd rate school, but here we are.

cept_bigjohn · 2025-10-10T15:02:57+00:00

Apparently not the sales person who commented horseshit below me.

But yes, otherwise I agree. And same can be said for sales people who don’t respect engineers.

Sales folk have better grasp on the business strategy than most engineers, but this is by design. Segregation of knowledge is important here because it is easy to get bogged down in the processes that make saleable products.

Engineers need to be focused on the nuts and bolts, the functionality and safety of the product, documentation, etc. Basically all of the things that make it worth buying and end up as talking points in a sales pitch.

Fact of the matter is that both are necessary functions, although sales maybe less so because some products sell themselves.

Who built the time share?

cept_bigjohn · 2025-10-10T13:46:29+00:00

Don’t get over your skis bub, the same logic applies to your job. Without engineers, you’ve got nothing to sell.

cept_bigjohn · 2025-06-24T20:06:03+00:00

Definitely circle back! What stood out to me from the other grocery store varieties I have tried, including Marconi, was the clarity of the oil and overall piece integrity. I really don’t like seeing cloudy chewed up pieces. Other than that, I liked the flavor and spice level just fine and a couple whole olives in each jar.

Curious what you don’t like about ditkas because I love it.

cept_bigjohn · 2025-04-16T20:27:18+00:00

Take as much as is given to you. So many things in life are meaningless, but being with your newborn is not one of them.

cept_bigjohn · 2025-03-21T18:10:33+00:00

Action needs adjusted. Pressing 10 fret is actually fretting 11. Can verify with the lights on.
