    Have you eaten horse?

    I did have horse in China. I think it lived a long life as a beast of burden. Bad experience.

    Kitchenaid Stand Mixer maintenance

    My wife got to complaining about how the sound had changed. We ordered some grease and watched the same videos as everyone else. When the grease arrived I tore it down, cleaned it up and replaced the grease. It took just over an hour. The whining stopped. 😉

    Most overrated band of all time

    Duran Duran. I’m 60. I would disagree with: Boston, Brad and Tom might not have had enough music to be respected by some. CSN ( I personally like Y but he was a distraction) KISS. 2 of the best concerts I ever saw but couldn’t stand to listen to an 8-track.

    How do you pay for stuff?

    Is this buck 201 1/2?

    I agree, velvet adds a bunch of inches. It is a really nice buck I would not hesitate. That said, if the deer pictured weighs 500 lbs, it might be a 200” deer.

    Home Solar System

    I feel like I will end up buying a system as you did. I can save a bit and become a bit more efficient by seeking out and purchasing individual pieces but I think I am going to take the more simple route and get a complete system. Does the system need to be installed this year to get the...

    Home Solar System

    I am going to need batteries. I have no idea how long it will take for the grid to expand to the new place. I also want to oversize, as you did to make it easier as I get older

    Home Solar System

    Minimum. I would like many more, as you say. I don’t want to outpace myself in the summer but I have to, to a degree, or the winters will be cold and dark.

    Home Solar System

    I think I have watched just about every video on YouTube. I learned the key words for the industry so I don’t sound too ignorant. I used a Toyo and wood prior to the fire.
