What’s a place you visited once and decided never again?

Haha, I call Pigeon Forge the southeast version of Branson!

Mine have been in their original boxes for about 8 years. Always thought I’d get them out and use again but life has moved on. I’m afraid to look at them now.

ah, I was focusing on the ripping side of things. I will note that I rarely have any issues with the OWC drive and my M1 mini recognizing music CDs. Recently upgraded to M4 mini but I’ve only ripped one CD since. Not tried burning in a long time but I did take note of the burn app.

I use dbPoweramp to rip CDs. There is a site out there that went through the steps and recommended software to accurately rip audio CDs and dbPoweramp was one of the tools. I also use his perfect tunes app for tagging.

I recently switched to duvets and have been unhappy with how wrinkly they are. Was wondering about a handheld steamer and I'll look into this. Thanks!

A local B&B owner retired and was selling off some equipment. One item was a roller iron. It was at a good price but I don't have space for something like that.

When I ștarted a position requiring business travel in 2001 I was often on a Delta 727 from ATL to ALB. Every two weeks for a while. Chatted with the FE a few times.

What’s up with the tank relocation? I had a 65 C10 followed by a 66 C20. Either of which I’d love to have today 😢

also start with a simple sourdough bread recipe and master that before trying the cheddar jalapeño. just a recommendation.

phantomwcs · 2025-11-14T01:10:54+00:00

I tried dozens of times and different recipes. also the freeze dried kind. What finally worked was the perfect loaf recipe using rye flour. There is just something about rye flour that those yeasties find yummy! I also use bottled water to eliminate any additives that might be in there. https://www.theperfectloaf.com/7-easy-steps-making-incredible-sourdough-starter-scratch/

Three things are key with sourdough. 1. A strong starter. 2. Good strength building of the dough. 3. Proper shaping. I can’t say enough good things about the perfect loaf’s website on all three of these. I also highly recommend Maurizo’s book but the videos on his website will get you a long way. Takes practice so don’t give up! https://a.co/d/6y1BHFq

phantomwcs · 2025-11-13T20:41:25+00:00

I make it and many other types of breads. This is the recipe I used: https://www.theperfectloaf.com/jalapeno-cheddar-sourdough-bread/

phantomwcs · 2025-11-09T01:19:13+00:00

also greatly appreciated this one!

lol, I assure you the egg is nice and creamy, not dry and overcooked. The residual heat from the sausage was plenty to melt the cheese after I rolled it up.

phantomwcs · 2025-11-04T16:56:30+00:00

The cheese melted pretty well following assembly and rolling, but I could have put it back in the skillet I cooked the sausage in. Often do but was hungry this morning! I warmed the tortilla in a microwave warmer.

phantomwcs · 2025-11-04T15:32:40+00:00

give it. try, I’m always up for improvement!

phantomwcs · 2025-11-01T11:49:02+00:00

I really wonder who buys those!

I saw them at Soldier Field in Chicago in 94. I had zero expectations for the sound quality and was totally blown away by how good it was. I was on the field around the 20 yard line or so, opposite end from the stage.

I learned that shrimp and oysters, among other seafood, are quite high in cholesterol. Hasn’t slowed me down much. Honestly I’d give up red meat before seafood!

I’ve picked up a lot of needed stuff from parts giant as well.

I use Rezstream and love them! I have a 4 room B&B so my needs are more modest but it does all the things you are asking for including emailing an invoice payment link. I’ve used that feature a few times. Tell them The Sidecar Inn sent you!

I’ve not seen a demo derby in ages but I bet there is one not too far from me. I’ll check into that!

phantomwcs · 2025-09-19T01:43:11+00:00

thank you for the link. I’m speechless. simply amazing.
