Great snack. On to dinner. Spuds still in the air fryer.

Time to start dinner with a snack. "It might choke Artie, but it ain't gonna choke Stymie!"

Cleaned all the connections, no luck. Found a receiver circuit board locally and it was only $50. Wired it into the main circuit board and it's running perfectly. Always fun when things being fixed, get fixed. Old receiver on the right. New on the left. Same receiver by the numbers but the...

This weather isn't really enjoyable. Just found something good and bad. The gate won't open from two feet away but it will open if remote is within an inch of the antenna. I have multiple remotes and it's the same with all. I'm going to clean all the connections on the receiver and main circuit...

Sliding entrance gate not working. Time to troubleshoot and see what's wrong. Did the obvious like changing the remote battery and checked for power to the gate circuit board. No luck. Sprayed the chain with lube but that was general maintenance got to see the chain is free.

I definitely need to start my ribs earlier in the morning. Last night the ribs didn't come out until 8:00pm. A little late for me to be eating a load of ribs. But we ate some and enjoyed them. Here's a photo of the end of an era after being based in Colorado for five years. This is the last...

I think I have solved most of my problems with this sump and pump. In another house I owned on the water, I did something similar with a sump pump and I added commercial dehumidifier. It really did the trick. I was dry in a day or two. I'm going to do that with this house. I don't have the...

Down by me, we all have sump pumps. No matter how good your crawlspace is, water finds a way in. As you can see in the photo, just digging the bucket hole, I was in water. I had to put the rubble in the bucket to hold it down. I bailed some of the water and pour dry mix around the bucket. It...

Needed a better way to drain the water in my very tight to get in crawlspace. The existing crawlspace has a very rough concrete scratch coat. I live on the water and extreme high tides or a very heavy rain can get into the crawlspace. I do have an area that is pitched and a sump pump has been...

Panic. All dressed up and nowhere to go. Began heating my smoker and prepped the ribs. Went out to put them on and the smoker was dead. Tried resetting, a new extension cord, different outlet and nothing. Bummer. Went online to see any reset tricks and nothing. Looked down and the power cord...

Finally getting over the bug that's been going around and I can eat again. Decided not to use the clams and keep it lighter. These shrimp were fantastic sauteed up in toasted sesame oil. Also, a really good dose of pepper flakes and spicy peppers to kill the rest of the germs.

As a kid, my Dad would always stop there on the way out to Montauk. It was part of the trip that made fishing Montauk special. From the looks inside at 6 AM, everyone else felt the same way. All were eating the same thing, eggs, bacon, toast, homefries and coffee. Pots of coffee were always...

Well I guess I'm boring. I love these buttermilk, egg and strawberry pancakes. This morning they tasted extra special.

They are perfectly fine. A lot of aquacultured clams have brown striations. If you saw a brown ring on the inside of the clam, that's bad and caused by bacteria.

Put me down for the hitting the throttles as he stepped aboard. Way too much explaining when you gaffed him although it's a fun thought.

That's correct. You don't have to attempt to flee. You don't even have to back up. You can "stand your ground" and fire. But, you better be right and with the video this kid had, it might have cost some money for a lawyer but he would probably gotten off. But, this kid sounded like he was under...

Wow. Being a long time resident of Florida, the guy that boarded the boat is very lucky. So many people carry in Florida. It's a fine line when you are carrying a loaded weapon in a vehicle. The weapon cannot be readily available but it can be in a proper holster that closes. The victim gave the...

Not a nice day today weather wise. Fortunately, I have an indoor project. Unfortunately, it's a very plugged master bathroom sink drain. :(

One thing I added to the grill was this folding tray that I got on Amazon. It comes in very handy and easily folds down out of the way.

Don't know if you set it up but you will be amazed how good it's packed.
