Yesterday I was slicing onions and sweet peppers for the gig, and my puppykins saw the red peppers and ran and got her red pumpkin squeaky and just started playing with it right beside me. Kept teasing me to play with her.

We got back from our first unofficial gig around 9pm. I couldn't be happier with how the trailer towed. No lateral sway, brake controller worked perfectly. I didn't have to use any extra brake. We towed it 35 miles from our place to our friend's place. His "driveway" is about 3/4 mile long...

Wife has been working on getting all the business paperwork straightened out. We're registering in DE, and we're going to see what it'll take to operate inspection wise down there. If we get it worked out, we'll try to get into Pumpkin Chunkin' this year.

Got the new skylight installed today. I had some aluminum cut and bent to create covers over the wooden riser that was installed for the original skylight. Now it's wrapped in aluminum, with butyl acetate as a sealer around it and the corners wrapped up in actual real duct tape. I'm using...

Sorry, out here in farmland, we're kind of short on frozen hawaiians.

My favorite is Root beer floats with chocolate ice cream. I also make my own ice cream when I have time. An amazing dark chocolate that's super rich and creamy and a really creamy cantaloupe that's really good over fresh melon.

Not yet, we will, plus an LP monitor. That's the kind of stuff that goes in last. I won't be buying them from the RV store I was at today, those guys are expensive. I'm not terribly worried about LP or CO since there's so much ventilation, like the 6' wide window on one side, and the two...

I'm not really sure how the original plumbing was done so that the system didn't create a syphon and drain the fresh water tank through the overflow. But I came up with a method that doesn't do that. When filling the fresh water tank and the water heater at the same time, when they get full...

We just lit the water heater for the first time. I don't know if I posted it a while ago, but the water heater that was in it showed signs of electrical meltdown and we didn't want to trust it, especially considering the control module was $200+. We found one pulled from a 2022 RV for $170...

We tested corn in the steam table today. Turned out perfect.

Sounds groundbreaking. I challenge any of you to find a more groundbreaking bike.

My steam table is fixed. We tried lighting it lastnight but weren't getting any gas. Figured there might be a nest or something inside. Took it to the local propane shop this morning around 9am, they called at 11am and said it was fixed. New thermocouple, a cleaning and a replaced nut that...

Driving out to the propane shop (twice) today I saw several fields with shoulder high corn.

Silver queen is still the favorite around here. There's a bi-color that's very good too. Never heard of hollowway corn. Last year during the middle of the season I heard a woman in the grocery with a thick NJ accent yell to her husband "All this is that white corn, they don't have any yellow"...

Yup, had some lastnight with dinner. It was good. There's a produce farm not far from me that regularly has early sweet corn. So far it's been a good growing season. Everyone got their fields ready early and crops in the ground. With the rain things have just been shooting up. Over all the...

New lights are in. The original lights were 1157 automotive bulbs, which draw a tremendous amount of current. Plus, the previous owners had all the lights, 8 of them, tied into the fans, and the water heater. No wonder the original fuse box melted down. I've been able to break out all of...

Radio Shack used to sell a folding one like this: https://www.amazon.com/allsun-Multimeter-Functions-Voltmeter-Continuity/dp/B07BRFN9FY/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2S4L8XXQEGLVR&keywords=folding+multimeter&qid=1688040844&sprefix=folding+multimeter%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-5 I have one somewhere, but I haven't seen...

I kind of collect multimeters. I recently got terribly annoyed because I needed one. Couldn't find one of them, the other had a fogged over screen, one is somehow out of calibration, one had broken leads, but doesn't take standard leads, the other just like it doesn't make a noise for ringing...

Here's a really old bar clamp, I have a pair of them. No idea how old, but they're cast iron, not steel. I just used it to clamp the stand I welded for the griddle.

Is either one groundbreaking? :)
