I have never even heard of it before now. I did grow my own popcorn one year and it turned out fantastic, easy to do and might be fun for the family. Other than that Sue just buys the white pop corn from the bulk food store.

X 3. If you do find it a little sluggish, check your spark arrestor screen on your muffler, if that is carboned up remove it and burn the carbon off with a propane torch.

Looks like you are feeling better LOL.

So many delights, I wouldn't know where to start! Beautiful!!!!!

Trout or salmon work well too LOL!

Hard to say for sure but it could be your tank vent is plugged, that is just one of a couple of possibilities but the simplist one to fix.

OK, I am going to share this one with you but I haven't shared it with many others and even when I do you might be missing one of the key ingredients: Do you like French Onion Soup? Well here is a recipe that I use and so far no one has complained and many have asked for it again. There is a bit of cheating involved and when I can, I make my own beef broth from scratch so here goes! This will serve about 6 but the recipe doubles or tripples perfectly: 6 Tbsp butter 2 1/2 lbs (about 6) cooking onions peeled and sliced nice and thin 1 Tbsp sugar 2 Tbsp all purpose flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 Tsp pepper 8 cups beef broth (now here is where I cheat sometimes, I use the bottled or cubed concentrate to make my stock but it works well) 2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (that stuff is expensive so I sometimes use a mixture of Swiss and mozarrela 50/50) it works just as well. You will also want about 4 to 5 cups of crutons, I make my own but store bought ones work too. An lastly, here is the one thing that you might have trouble finding but that makes mine that extra special: 1/4 cup of dehydrated powdered puff ball mushroom. (it is good without it but......) Melt the butter in a frying pan. Add the onion and sugar and saute over medium/low heat just until golden brown stiring often. Mix the flour salt, and pepper and sprinkle it over the onions stirring and cooking for about 5 minutes. Now, put your beef stock in a large pot and bring it to a boil. Add the contents of your frying pan and the 1/4 cup of dehydrated puff ball. bring it to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes. Devide into 6 bowls, add the crutons, and the cheese evenly between the six bowls. Broil until the cheese just starts to brown and melt. If you bring me puff balls (must be firm and pure white inside) in the fall I will dehydrate them and split the bounty, (I can never get too many) if you come to my house I will give you 1/4 cup if I have it to spare.

Seen many a big ship sink while a little cork floated away. Just saying

People helping people, if only the rest of the world could think that way!

I once cooked for over 1000 (well, that isn't quite true, I peeled potatoes on KP duty once when I was in the army, guess that doesn't count eh? )
-
I hope you get that sorted out soon! My son is having similar problems, I sure hope your's is a different cause!

The Coolest Thing Happened At Our Tournament
Big Cliff replied to doubleheader's topic in General Discussion
Tournaments are ok but I really like the Orillia perch derby, anyone young or old can win it because all you have to do is enter a fish. The biggest, the most, the best don't impress me much although I have to admit that for five years running our boat won either first, second, or third in the Bellwood pike tournament, haven't fished it since, kind of lost the urge. Glad to hear that yours did so well, can't think of a better cause! -
Time to make a big pot of chicken stew with dumplings then, if that don't cure what ails you not much else will
-
Boy have I got a lot of people fooled LOL.
-
Un real!

Ya, the diaphram was stretched so wouldn't work properly. That is a ZAMA carb, plenty of parts and kits available if you know where to look.
-
An out streched hand and a smile is all that is needed LOL. Besides I'd love to make my cream of roasted garlic soup for you one of these days!
-
$20.00 in parts (fuel filter some new fuel lines and a diaphram in the carb) To be honest with you in a regular shop it would have been $100.00 repair. Thing runs like new, starts first pull it's a good unit! Already have a single mom that needs one and $20.00 just happened to be her budgit

You have an open invitation to visit me anytime for any reason. I have been following your posts for a while now and you are the kind of young man that has earned and deserves respect! My door would always be open to you!
-
And your latest offering is running like a dream, it's yours if you ever want it back!
-
Stick around for a while and you will learn what "paying it forward" really means!
-
I use to do it for free but then I started having to buy supplies and tools and found out that none of my suppliers believed in free LOL. I usually just charge $25.00 including the oil (for OFC members only) but if there are extra parts needed then you get dinged for those but I always provide an estimate if it is going to go over the $25.00. (doesn't usually happen unless you need a new blade or something). The offer is on the table for as long as I can continue to do the work, drop it off anytime, if I'm not here just leave a note with it and your phone number and park it behind the garage.

The absolute beauty of nature and it is all around us if we would only stop and see it. Nice job Lew!

10-4. I've been fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time on several occasions. Living right on the water we get to see more than the average person would and we have learned to spot the trouble signs like; guys paddling a power boat or someone with the hood off their motor and cranking it like crazy or even a boat running way too deep in the water. We will always do what we can but I think our cops deserve a lot more respect than they get, if you are good, then they are usually good.

lawnmower fixed, ready for pickup when ever you get here. Dirt and water in fuel tank, diaphram toast, air filter plugged, RPM at 2300, sb 3000. Cleaned the fuel tank, installed new diaphram, cleaned the air filter, adjusted the RPM, checked the spark plug (it was dirty because of the air filter causing it to run VERY rich) touched up the blade and balanced it (it doesn't look like it's had much use), changed the oil (my bet it was probably the original ) and cleaned it up a bit (pressure washed it). Runs as good as (might be even better than new) will probably last you another 5 years or more (if you use good clean fuel and change the oil once in a while LOL). BTW, thank you so much for that "secret" fishing lure
