Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I made a couple batches of my hot sauce to give away for Christmas.

Sorry for the terrible picture. My phone is junk.

I made red and green. It's good. But fasten your seatbelts if you eat it. Both of them have quite a kick.

I guess that's why they call it hot sauce. ;)

Sounds painful.....:lol: The pic is a bit blurry, what's on the label?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

There is hot sauce and there is be careful sauce. Hot sauce is for the general public. The other one is for self destructive types :lol:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

My camera has been taking blurry pictures lately. Not always but a lot of the time. My phone is on its last legs.

The label is a flame and it says "Alligators F#*kin Hot Sauce". My wife had the labels made. I would have called it something else. Alligator is a nickname that I managed to pick up years ago.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

This is not be careful hot sauce. I go for flavor mostly. But it definitely lets you know it's there. I've been told that I should start selling it. It's that good. But it's a lot of work to make. And it takes a lot of ingredients and time to get it right.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Or maybe your camera has been drinking? ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That could be :)

Hey, if you put a finger here and a thumb there she looks like a girl I once......oh, uh, nevermind. ;)

What I did not on my truck? Bought a new tv. The other one decided to crap out and right here before Christmas too. You'd think one should last longer than 10 years, almost to the day..

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That picture sure is freaky. Only one nose... so weird.

Well Boog, it seems with most consumer products these days the newer it is the less time it will last. It's time to bring back the TV repairman. A friend was just telling me he was given a TV that wasn't that old. It worked but either wouldn't turn on sometimes or it would cut out randomly... something like that. He searched the problem on his computer and found out what caused that problem was a bad capacitor. He found the part and ordered it, under $20 do it yourself repair.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I remember when you took tubes out of your tv down to the store and plugged them into a device to test them. Then you bought new tube(s) to replace the one(s) that were bad.

The back of the tv just had a piece of pegboard for a cover, with a few screws to hold it on. You were supposed to unplug it first, of course ;)

Pretty soon you were back to watching all three channels again :lol:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I went to the Dollar store with the wife to buy stocking stuffers ,,it is amazing how much a $1.00 each for every thing adds up..

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I was telling a youngun the other day how in my youth radios and tv's had tubes and dad would pull the back off of it and thump the tubes to see if they'd come back on. He'd replace one or two and keep it going and we kids learned from our dads how to work on things unlike today where most everything is throw away. I bet even the Maytag repair man does things different now days. ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Shout out to Family Dollar. Those things are everywhere!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

We did learn not just stick that screw driver just anywhere in the backs of them old tube TV's ..wrong move would make hair stand out and eyes bug open,,, Yes..Boog,,, we sure did learn a lot from our dads. things to do and not to do..

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Like the plague.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Quick trip to town and then replaced an electric "burner" on the stove top. Should have been simple but the connections on a 40-50 year old stove weren't quite compatible. Had to open up the bent eyes on the new one, and actually break the ends off the old one to use the holes as nuts. Everything has to fit together just so in order to fit in the insulating clamshell.

The guy at the little shop in town actually has my jeep inside and taken apart and is putting in new rockers. I thought it was the lifters which is why I took it in to a shop instead of trying to work on it myself. Maybe we will actually get it back by the end of the year. It's been sitting down there since late Sept or early Oct.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

My wife is off work today. So I'll probably have a laundry list of stuff that I didn't do to my truck today coming up.

She's already making a list. :(

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

My "do list" is rearranging my office. It requires shutting down and unplugging everything for a while. Might start after lunch ... (?)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

We were talking in a thread last summer about TV and appliance repair shops going by the wayside. Right after that I started a job where I drove past this place I remember from decades ago. I think it's still open. I'll tell you one thong, that place sits on some prime commercial real estate

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

We just had a local appliance repair shop house call.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I do see appliance repair businesses. In fact, a long time appliance parts business is in Frederick 20 minutes away. We had a radio & TV repair shop in town when I moved here in '87. I just searched and, also in Frederick, there is one TV sales & service still

No appliance repair for me. I baked Egg Nog cookies....:).. With butter cream frosting.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I'd watch showing such succulence (is that a word?) on the world wide web. Might create traffic problems and infrastructure overload for Montezuma. I'll be leaving here shortly, heading your way!

No pictures, but I assembled a weight lifting station for a friend's son's Christmas present

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Those look absolutely amazing!....:mm:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Come on over. I will make some homemade ice cream to go with them. Chocolate or Vanilla?


They sure are tasty. I just had one...:)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

45 Cookies, ...now whats for lunch ?. :)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Those look just like the lemon cookies I enjoy so much.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Country boneless ribs in the crock pot, Sweet Potatoes w/marshmallows, & homemade lemon meringue pie.. Yummmm.

Basically the same recipe just substituted the Egg Nog.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

They're delicious just to look at. The ice cream is tempting. I hope you froze some peaches. Just like last winter when Covid created shortages, as soon as it spiked I haven't been able to get frozen peaches. Seriously. I don't know the cause, but I have bought them regularly for many years and never had this happen.

I was given a huge plate of home baked cookies by the woman who's house I am working on. And they are really good!!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Went for an early morning Christmas drive on my Triumph 650 project bike and reached a signal about 5 miles from home in an out-of-the-way area. While I waited for the green light I noticed what looked like paper money sized objects in the street. It was money! A one dollar bill, then another, then a $20. I parked the bike and continued to look around and I found a $100, I scoured the entire area of the intersection and soon had my front pocket packed with bills. If a car came by I made sure they didn't see what I was finding or there would be competition and soon a mob.Drove home with a smile on my mug thinking this was a great Christmas and here is what it looks like (about $330);


Then I noticed that there is a president on both sides of the $100 bill. Same for all the others! Pretty good paper though. Print quality is ok but faded and worn from being out in the So.Cal sun apparently. There's been a rash of police chases around here lately, maybe this was ditched on the run. Going to the shredder in a few minutes. Was a nice ride anyway. -BA

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I smoked me up a ham in what I call, my 2 for heat, three for meat smoker...(1drawer for fire, 1 drawer for the water pan, 3 drawers for smoking meat) I then slathered it up with a brown sugar, honey glaze and slapped it under the broiler for a few minutes to set the glaze. Pretty good, if I do say so my self.

Smoked using small fresh cut green apple wood over larger seasoned apple wood.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Well, mostly back together again after working on it yesterday and today. Now for the first time in almost 18 years we can open the office door all the way! What a difference 6" makes ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Leg of lamb is on the rotisserie! Turn baby, turn! I have a cold, so one of my sons got it on.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Same here. I didn't use my vertical smoker, I used the offset grille. All afternoon. Since I had that grille going I did up some potatoes and broccoli special on the grille, too. The whole meal off the grille. I'm not sure I knew what I was doing, but I must say it all came out delicious. I got lucky :lol:

"Going to the shredder in a few minutes "

NO NO NO
What are you going to do ????

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I did NOTHING! I have sciatic pain in my right leg. Worst it's ever been. Only behind the knee. Back has no pain at all. Everything I'd go to do I could see it wouldn't5 help the healing process, so I have mostly been sitting around. Not my style at all!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Are you sure it's not a torn Meniscus? I had one in my knee and it hurt like hell. It's an easy fix once you get through the insurance B.S. They'll give you the run around. But if I remember correctly (which I probably don't) I was fine in under a week after they operated on me. It's not much of an operation.

If you need any advice on how to just sit around. Let me know. I'm really good at it.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Mine tore in half and folded over. They had to lay my knee wide open to fix it. Took about 18 months to get back to normal. Going on 35 years ago.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I'm sure this is sciatica.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Basically what I had Tim, only mine was in the hip. I hope you don't have to go down the road I did. I have never been to a Chiro but if I had it to do all over again I would try a Chiro first. I hope it just heals up on it's own.
