You never see these, as if it's common to see Yosemite Sam. I wonder what vehicle it fell off of

Is the red truck running?! Looks great and love the new pups.

Saw these amazing cuts yesterday- they’re at least four inches thick. Not sure how I’d grill these....

That's more of a roast than a steak for sure. It would be very hard to "grill", that needs low/indirect heat for a while.
The marbling on the regular ribeyes next to them looks good.
I just bought a couple last weekend for a little cookout with my mom. They came from a little butcher shop down the street from my house. It is a local favorite, but she hadn't had anything from there for years.
Since the heart attack a few years ago, I don't eat red meat. I make exceptions for special occasions, once in a while though.
After the sticker shock of $25/lb they were fantastic. She even made her family recipe potato salad, which only happens once a year or so now.

We don’t have cardinals around here. I’ve never seen one. Plenty of doves though, this is our back porch this morning. This one is on double duty…

My honey is everything potatoes, her favorite food ... but ... she doesnt like potato salad (which I love), or tater tots. But who knows if there are potatoes in tater tots lol. My mom made her special potato salad for summer get togethers. She passed probably around 17 years ago ... Miss ya mom, and your potato salad.

Mom's is written down, so I'll never lose it, but it's a lot of work. IE, not you typical mayo and mustard of the cheap stuff at the deli counter.
The liquid part is actually cooked in a double-boiler and stirred constantly by hand, to an exact point. Then it gets mixed into the rest.
It is not at all like the commercially available stuff, the only similarity is being served cold. It is not like "German" potato salad, which her dad used to make. That was served warm.
I can't do macaroni salad it all. Every one I have ever tried was too sweet, same with most commercially available cole slaw. I've had some that were great....homemade by someone at a cook-out or potluck.

Just a silly food trend. I'd hand that back to the butcher and have him cut it to a reasonable size for grilling. I ain't paying $19 a pound for a bone. That's crazy. Look what trendiness did for chicken wings. Once po' folk food, the part of the chicken hardly worth messing with for most. Then comes the Buffalo style, they become the thing to eat while watching football on TV, and now we pay over 2x as much as boneless skinless chicken breast for bones, skin, fat, and a little meat. Don't get me started on potato skins :lol:

That's right, I spoke my mind. Some say that takes a lot of balls. Well, I guess I do

Working on my barn moving project I was moving things, for the first time in ages, from the area where the tree is. I had towing stuff in a metal bucket behind a tool cabinet against the wall. I grabbed the handle and picked the bucket up without the bottom or contents. The bottom had disintegrated.

You need to use your balls more often they're pretty rusty!!:lol:

those generic kits are handy but frequently missing the size you actually need..

important to know what series (cross section), hardness (durometer expressed in shore rating), and elastomer type (buna, viton, epr/epdm, etc.)

those kits typically have a mix of 100, 200, and 300 series low quality orings..

hydraulic fittings for instance don't use any of those..

orb (oring boss) take 900 series, 904 -4 1/4", 908 -8 1/2" etc..

just for those that didn't already know - dash size is the number of 16ths of an inch :)

face seal, cat, komatsu, etc. are all unique as well..

we stock 90 shore 900 series kits and cat kits in all our service trucks ;)

I order all other seals by oe p/n or from sample sent to an actual seal house like ac depuydt, cal state seal, etc.

Nice truck! Green Acres is about 3/4 mile from me. There's a club (I think) that meets there sometimes. They have all kinds of nice shiny old vehicles.
