Love those things, half the price of ground beef. Frequently find the cryovac packaged for $1.99 a pound at the supermart, but the quality of the Costco ones is better and grab them when they are $4 off. Get a dozen or more boneless chops out of the centre cut and the ends go in the pressure cooker for pulled pork or the wok for stir fries.

Wait till I drizzle Sriracha sauce over it 🤣

I get this from Costco, try throwing a few beaten eggs in it as well, a little scrambled egg in the mix makes a good breakfast.

Covid 19 and Canadian Border closing
dave524 replied to Pochucker's topic in Non-Outdoors Open Discussion
I may be a skeptic but I expect by the time the whole population is vaccinated it will have mutated enough that a new vaccine will be required and we have to start a new round, welcome to the new normal. -
Think it was the 80's, anyone else remember " swish " it was popular with the East Coasters at work.

Covid 19---the lighter side

I kept my primary fermenter and 4 - 5 gallon carboys, thought I might get back into it when I retired, that was almost 13 years ago 🤣. Think there is even a few cases of non twist off , green Amstel bottles in the furnace room, they were the best. edit : could actually do wine with that equipment 🤔
-
Yeah, I always used a secondary and waited until fermentation had stopped, adding a precise amount of sugar to carbonate in the bottle, Dad was obviously in a hurry to get a drinkable brew.

I brewed for years, but nothing fancy. I used the canned stuff from Brew Canada, had a big primary that would do a double batch (10 Gallons). It looks like a plastic laundry tub but with a tap on the side at the bottom and a air tight snap lid with a hole in the centre for an airlock. After the primary fermentation was done in about 5 days I would rack it down into 2 X 5 gallon glass carboys with airlocks for 3-4 weeks before bottling. To bottle I racked the carboy into a 5 gallon bucket with a tap on the bottom , add a cup of dextrose and bottled and capped in regular beer bottles, took a month to develop good carbonation. I did do a few additives later like hops, it was quite good I thought and never lost a batch. A double batch was about 5 1/2 cases I recall , was 28 ahead at the start of summer once 🤪

Carpet Stairs to hardwood/LVF ideas?
dave524 replied to Raycaster's topic in Non-Outdoors Open Discussion
Maybe someone carpeted oak treads, problem solved -
You ever hear the old joke about how many animals you can find in a pair of panty hose ?

I tied a bunch of smaller streamers with calf or kip tail, looked similar.

80's hair styles 🤣 -
Can you even still get Rothmans ? smoked them from 1969 to maybe 1990 when I switched the "Rez Brands " , quit about 15 years ago.

Caught all 4 too, Lakers both L. Ontario and the Haliburton strain , even a difference there. Lots of Specs and when the stocking programs in Haliburton went to Splake, them too, during the change, both in the same lake at times, even a ton of those Laker backcross Splake in the Bighead and Beaver during the 80's/90's. The tail doesn't look perfectly square drooped over the rock but isn't near as forked as a full blooded Laker and I find most Lakers have a somewhat laterally compressed head compared to a Spec and the jawline does extend as far back as a Laker, Lakers have a pretty big yap on them compared to a Spec. Doesn't look Laker to me, early spring Specs are not nearly as colourful as later.

I live in the Lincoln, Grimsby , Beamsville area, the first time I saw those letters in print , local paper, I wondered what the letters after LGB stood for ??? True story

Interesting Truck Option, lifesaver during an outage
dave524 replied to dave524's topic in Non-Outdoors Open Discussion
OK, that grand is on top of the pricey, I assume, sticker price of the hybrid truck , not the regular gas version. Still for a contractor that needs power tools off grid , sure beats one of those power inverters looking at the stuff it can power. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2021-ford-f-150-powerboost-hybrid-features-and-specs/ -
what song are you listening to right now???
dave524 replied to fishing n autograph's topic in Non-Outdoors Open Discussion
They missed a few stars in the description, G.E.Smith and Steve Cropper on guitar, Donald "Duck " Dunn on bass and Jim Keltner on drums. -
a dozen or so years ago this fish was lifted on the Credit, several Autumns in a row, has to be a Laker cause we all know there are no Specs in Lake Ontario

Loved sandwiches with that as a kid going to school, with catsup and lots of horseradish. Many years later I tried it again, found out it slices much better if you refrigerate the can first.
-
I was impressed by the Costco warranty, not sure if they miscalculated but I got about 50% towards a new one and I swear it was 6 years old .

Ever watch the flocks of seagulls following a commercial fishing boats in on Lake Erie, we are talking more than a few fish guts there

Old enough to remember when tournament BASS boats were limited to 150 horse and manufacturers were badging 150's very conservatively for the market.
