DIY velvet preservation
I’ve done it four times and four different ways. First time I had no ideas what I was doing and I rubbed the with salt and baking soda. Shockingly it worked well, but I’d never do it again. Second time I used velvet lok spray. Ehh. Wasn’t impressed and everything smelled like their...- shannerdrake

Blood Meridian - I Don’t Get It….(Spoilers)
After I finished reading BM, my wife saw me pondering rather pensively and asked me what was wrong. I said something to the extent of “I just finished this book and can’t process it. I wish I had Ken’s cell.” Somehow I knew you had read it and have perspective. I think I had built it up so...- shannerdrake

Blood Meridian - I Don’t Get It….(Spoilers)
So far I’ve read Child of God, The Border Trilogy, and now BM. I do agree that The Crossing was my favorite of the five. I’ve debating reading No Country for Old Men since I liked the movie so much. Yeah, the Kid knew he was bad, but he met evil and couldn’t escape it. In classic McCarthy...- shannerdrake

Need a movie…
Wind River Scicario Lincoln (2012) - disclaimer, need to be a bit of a Lincoln or Civil War fan to really get into it. Young Washington was very good but not on par with the first three.- shannerdrake

Blood Meridian - I Don’t Get It….(Spoilers)
Third time’s the charm. I finally finished Blood Meridian. After two failed attempts, I found myself on a beach with plenty of time and rum (probably should have read Hemmingway instead, by I degrees) so I picked up Blood Meridian and read it over the course of four days. I. Don’t. Get. It...- shannerdrake

What's on the smoker today?
Are the cabinet smokers superior to a pellet grill for smoking? If so how/why, etc.- shannerdrake

What's on the smoker today?
Those models also have a cotter pin between the motor and auger that shears easily. The auger motor could be bad, but since the fan is running that’s unlikely. If it is, they are only $25 on Amazon. Pellet grills are super easy to work on. I had a Green Mountain that lived outside for 20...- shannerdrake

2026 Garden
Finally. I have about 50-75 huge green tomatoes that haven’t really grown on ripened in weeks. And then overnight practically these popped. Jalapeños and Coolpenos are growing like mad.- shannerdrake
