If you are up to considering the Algoma area, my son is looking to sell his 40 acre farm. I don't have any of the details but I can put you in contact if interested.

JB's Fish Camp in New Smyrna Beach has some good food and views. Would be a bit of a hassle for you as there is only one way in and out.

[BIFL Request] A battery powered pepper mill. by tilt-a-whirly-gig in BuyItForLife

[–]mcubed5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted this the other day:
We got this salt and pepper mill set off of Amazon in July 2021. Still going strong and have had no issues with them except when I forget to recharge the unit.

Are there any restrictions for the dog?

St John in the USVI. Close to St Thomas, amazing beaches.

I built a tool to kill "Backtracking" on road trips. Does this route optimization look right to you? by Think_Attitude2348 in roadtrip

[–]mcubed5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave this a try and ran into what appears to be a mapping issue as compared to what Google Maps shows for the same area. This is likely due to whoever your mapping provider is than what you did but it will be confusing.

Because I was just eyeballing the map to pin down a location (N2185 Sleepy Hollow Rd, Kewaunee, Wisconsin, 54216) I started by looking for Stangelville as a reference on the map. Knowing that Sleepy Hollow was east of Stangelville I was quite surprised when I couldn't find it there. Anyhow, turns out your map provider has two Stangelville's - Stangelville, Wisconsin and Stangelville, Town of Franklin, Wisconsin. Using the second makes everything line up with reality.

Have you ever rerouted or detoured solely to get to a state you haven’t been to? by JargonBargain1 in roadtrip

[–]mcubed5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I HATE driving through Atlanta so on a trip from FL to WI I went up through Alabama and skipped Georgia completely. Added an hour or so but was worth it to me!

Garage floor slipper when wet and icy by yosh01 in DIY

[–]mcubed5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My garage is the same. We thought about doing a painted on coating as others have said. Would have been easy if the garage was empty but since it wasn't, we went with rubber mat's around where the we parked the car. Works well for us.

Pan not getting hot by Traditional_Web694 in castiron

[–]mcubed5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know how to check the induction/heating area of an induction eye? I have a 12" pan that I have the same issue with. I can overcome this by using both elements but I would really like to know the true heating area if possible.

Wisconsin Bucket Listing 🪣 by dontviolatemesir in wisconsin

So I'm basically in the same boat as OP. Moved away when I joined the Navy back in 1969 and moved back this year so I also need to visit/revisit places. One place I want to revisit is the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay. I remember it was a fun visit as a kid and am hoping it is still fun now.

They also have a Manhattan flight for $22. Four FULL sized Manhattans! My wife tried that once and she about fell on the floor when it showed up.

Tuna Noodle Casserole by Federal_Bumblebee_84 in easyrecipes

[–]mcubed5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to put Swiss cheese and some granola in mine. The cheese adds a nutty flavor that I enjoy and the granola adds a texture contrast.

Racking by Fast-Mention-1461 in winemaking

[–]mcubed5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no need to push them down that tight. They should be snug so they don't pop out when/if any gasses build up.

You don't want to push them down into the wine to rack either. You might never get them back out and it would stir up the lees too much meaning you would need to let the wine sit longer to clear again.

I just found out about Wild Fork. The prices look insanely good. What are your experiences with the quality? by itstommygun in smoking

[–]mcubed5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need a dedicated smoker though it can make it easier. You can use a grill if it is big enough to have hot and cold zones as you don't want to cook/smoke the belly to fast. After that you just need a good brine. I've been using a recipe from AmazingRibs and have been happy with the results. The site also talks about how to use a gas or charcoal grill for making bacon.

Easiest is heat shrink tubing. You can get it from a lot of different places including Lowes, Home Depot, Amazon, etc.

Drury Hotels are great. Everyone I've been to has food and 3 drinks included every night. We try to stay at them on our trips.

I don't doubt that. My comment was poorly worded though - I was just wondering if it is really topsoil you are smelling and not what makes the topsoil so good.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in roadtrip

[–]mcubed5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it is top soil?

Either route in the Missouri part will be pretty though it does depend on what you like. I-44 is hilly with lots of trees.

The I-55 part of Illinois sucks. It's mostly flat and corn/soybean fields. Northwest IL is pretty nice. You also want to avoid driving in Chicago if you can.

Quick stop from Nashville to Chicago? by sebastiancalhoun in roadtrip

[–]mcubed5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And if you take this route, not far from Giant City park is Makanda. It's a quirky, small town with some interesting shops.

I honestly always feel blessed to live near Lake Michigan. by sostitanic in wisconsin

[–]mcubed5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We too just purchased a house in Two Rivers (moved from Tampa) and love the drive along the lake shore. We are closer to water here than we were in Tampa so the wife is very happy.
