Toast Yay! I Succumbed Today... - Yesterday

I've been ambivalent about whether or not I would buy any Scout cookies this year. I could not bring myself to order from the national website in hopes that I was blindly supporting some local troop. Then I saw a troop selling in front of the grocery store, but I have not carried cash for the last 12 months. So I have avoided the purchase, and the wonders about the harvesting of palm oil. Toda

Knowing that air tools are frequent theft targets on construction sites, I would be a little bit wary of tools that seem like they are too cheap.

Re: feet firmly planted on the ground?!.....'Beyond Meat' lands deal with McDonald's and Yum! brands for plant based menu...... - 9 days ago

We use Beyond products 2-3 times per week. It's made it much easier to reduce our meat consumption, and it's something that does well with my Crohn's. Getting a Beyond burger with McD's fries works for me.

Oooooh nice! I'm kind of jealous. Our cable service is mostly okay. When it works we get about 200Mbps down...but right now, with town loaded with tourists, it's likely closer to 100Mbps.

Re: What style fries are your favorite? - 9 days ago

All of them? I enjoy the variety of different fries you can get with fast food, from the freezer section, or make home made. My least favorite is the fries from In N Out. They are "fresh" but always taste starchy to me.

Re: Winter is gone in WI... Bike rack for truck? - 10 days ago

Quotemrlynn Mark, do you still have the Casita? If so, you can get a bolt-on hitch from Little House Customs. That's what we did, then got a 2-bike Kuat. /Mr Lynn We sold the Casita to our adult son and bought a Roadtrek Class B van based on the RAM Promaster van. It is way more convenient for a lot of the traveling we have been doing. As an added bonus, my wife is more comfortable drivi

Re: Winter is gone in WI... Bike rack for truck? - 10 days ago

Quotemrlynn The Kuat hitch-mounted bike racks are elegant; well-designed, and swing down with a foot pedal release so you can access hatch or bed of truck: Pricey, though. /Mr Lynn If I bought a rack, the Kuat is my choice. It's possible we will do that for our camper van.

Re: Those who went from Intel to M1, how did you migrate? - 11 days ago

I just went for it and did straight migration from Intel MBA to M1 MBA. The process was quite quick and just about everything made the transition fine. All mail accounts transferred fine, as did photos, music etc. The only snafu was with saved passwords in Safari. Some of my stored passwords made it but not all of them. Fortunately, I had done a written backup of most of them about a year

Re: Winter is gone in WI... Bike rack for truck? - 11 days ago

We built an in the bed rack out of PVC pipe, starting with these instructions: We used 3/4" PVC and modified two of the slots to accomodate fat tire e-bikes (RadRover). We painted ours black to match the truck bed and protect the PVC from UV. In our older Tacoma, our bikes are a tight fit, which keeps things stable. We load the bikes and then push the rear tires about 10° to the side

Re: What do you do with your fitness tracker? - 20 days ago

Third for the Apple watch, especially given this is a Mac-centric forum. I'm still at Series 3, so I am tracking exercise duration for the most part. It's such and easy way to see where I am at. During ski season, it's not a problem because I am out literally every day. During bike and hike season, I pay attention to my heart rate to make sure I am getting a good amount of aerobic exercise

Yeah, I think I started that thread about the FlexBrew. Still loving ours and as many have pointed out, that is not a good price. It's not particularly fast for single cups...but for the one or two we make a week...it's better than having a dedicated second machine.
