The ones that I marinated in ginger ale and orange juice didn't really take on the flavor of either one, they actually tasted pretty bland. I'm going back to the regular rib routine - peel the membrane, coat it with the rub, put it in the smoker. They're always good.

Wow, I could use a crane to hoist my stew pot from the hand truck onto the stand. I got a hand truck to haul it from the shed to the stand when I got the new bigger, stronger, faster stew pot but it's all I can do to get it from the hand truck up onto the stand.

I cut up the rest of the bell peppers today so we can freeze them until stir fry or pasketti sauce making time.

That was the last one, promise. I couldn't resist 🤣

OK, I - oh wait, you're probably talking to kt_engineer. Never mind.

That's me Bob. I've never rebuilt an engine, but I've changed many water pumps, radiators, hoses, etc. and all I ever did was fill it back up with water and antifreeze, run it a while, then when it cooled off again just top the radiator off and it was done. This has become so technical I'm gonna step back and not even make any more jokes...

That's what I thought, I just didn't say anything... 🤣 All I know is that I went to the dentist one time and he said "you have a cavitation here, you need to cut back on the M&Ms" 😀

True that, and the US was probably the only country qualified and capable to back up what they say. In my opinion President Trump has probably heard "death to America" and "death to Israel" enough. He wasn't going to send them billions of dollars in cash money by the pallet trying to appease them . It says in the Bible that God stands by those who stand with Israel, and curses those that curse Israel. I don't know if anybody else believes this, but I certainly do.

Cleaned the interior up. Zina was really proud of having her name on the door.

Well, yeah, there's that 😂. I always treated every truck I drove like it was my own.

I'm not an expert in anything, but it kinda pissed me off to see drivers that had been driving a while, certainly not considered a rookie, that would get in their almost new truck and all you would hear is gears grinding when they tried to put the truck in gear, then they'd jerk it into gear and the truck would lurch forward. They would ruin the clutch brake in a brand new truck on the first trip because they pushed the pedal all the way to the floor while they were moving, and I would think "how can they not know this". Maybe I had a better understanding of it because I grew up driving tractors on the farm with a two stage power take off. You pushed the clutch pedal almost all the way down, but not quite, and you could feel the "soft spot". The tractor would stop but not the PTO. Push it all the way down it stopped the tractor and the PTO.

The neighbor lady called just the other day and asked if I had any Italian seasoning I could spare. I said sure, I'll bring some right over. She said "that would be great". She only lives 6 miles away, I was glad to take her some.

He's right- https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18EbSH94DM/ https://youtu.be/VU9kVrUenJM?si=sqcBywAcmGiTQcAU The first link might not work so I added another link that might not work either.

OK, speaking of sausage, Zina bought some nice big bell peppers, sweet peppers I call them, at Aldi's last week. I said "what are we going to do with all these peppers?" She said "I don't know, they were on sale". So we put some in the freezer and while I was looking in the freezer I took out a package of Italian sausage. After they thawed I browned them in a skillet on all 18 sides then added them to the pot of sauce I had simmering. I had an onion chopped up, 2 of the peppers sliced, a handful of Italian seasoning, and a jar of Ragu in it. I let the whole thing just simmer away most of the day, and it was delicious. The sausage made an excellent sammich and the next day the sauce with some spiral noodles was delicious too.

Absolutely true.
