I buy the gallon cans and pump spray bottles ( those don’t last forever, either, but less expensive, overall).
Yeah, that's probably better. But there were at least as many cans each of PB Blaster and Gibbs (which he preferred) in his barn that weren't defective. Come on! 5 cans that can't be used? Not acceptable.

LOL, OK, I'm done ranting (unless someone gets me fired up again.) :blob2:
 
Nope, I'm done with them, they all went to county recycling I shouldn't have to perform any herculean tasks to use their product. Once or twice... OK. (And I have done that before.) But it has happened way too many times. DONE!

I get that. I've had my share of issues with them as well.
 
My mother cooked all the time with cast iron, and so did I as a kid. My wife hates the stuff, but I would like to get a frying pan and a dutch oven just for spite. What do you recommend I look for?
Contact @svk he always has a large selection of cast iron. Anything you get from him will be ready to use when you get it.

I also tape 1/2” of foam insulation to the cans I do have, then slide the plastic tube there for storage.

(Will post a photo later).
This shows the WD-40 pump spray bottle. And my ‘straw saver’ technique on a can of spray grease.

View attachment 1200091View attachment 1200092This white oak seemed to die overnight a few weeks back. The wife asked me on a Saturday morning if I had noticed the dead tree out back. We both agreed that it had been green the day before. Any ideas on that? Anyway, I took it down yesterday.

Probably from your dogs peeing on it.
 
The hits keep coming . Driving the Tacoma last week drove well with the new front end . Then it starts overheating get home gage wasn’t in the red but real close . The radiator seam at the bottom tank separated . I hate these new plastic aluminum radiators . I got a new replacement from rock auto ordered on Thursday was at my door Friday afternoon. Started the job Friday and finished it today . Very easy to install and I can see why they went to plastic the things are dirt cheap . IMG_8925.jpeg
Just need to put the shroud on and fill it up

Edit forgot to add it only took an hour or so the get the old one out and new on in . Very easy to work on
 
Yesterday I was mowing my woodlot when a branch came down in front of me. The 24" Ash that it fell out of is now transformed into firewood. That one tree filled up 2 bins plus a bit extra. These bins hold .43 of a cord tightly packed. The mess is all cleaned up now.

Unfortunately, it looks like the EAB has pretty much won!!!

All those restrictions on transporting firewood (most of which have not been repealed) failed to do anything to slow it down!
This tree was EAB infiltrated. The bark was full of "D" ring holes. There were no bugs under the bark. A lot of the bark fell off when I split the wood. The lowest branches still had green leaves on them.
