That is good to know, find it to be a decent horseradish.
Will also make my own spicy mustard, dijon with horseradish mixed together, probably the same as the sweet hot mustard they make.
Never tried horseradish to smoke anything. Will use yellow mustard as a binder first for a rub first. Hmmm, might test this on some ribs this spring.
Don't know anything about this guy nor do I necessarily recommend him but it has a review of a mustard I love. The mustard comes in regular and then extra as he demonstrates. Great on brats or anything you like mustard on. I believe it has horseradish in it and it will give your nose a good burn.

Skipping breakfast can damage your immune response - study
Skipping meals through intermittent or prolonged fasting periods cause certain white blood cells to go dormant.
Those skipped meals may do more damage to your bodily functions than previously thought. Researchers have uncovered that diets that involve fasting - prolonged periods without eating or drinking - could be tied to developing cardiovascular diseases and even some cancers.
According to a recently published study, skipping breakfast can actually cause more harm than you'd think. This peer-reviewed study was authored by researchers and medical professionals in cardiovascular health at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital, in collaboration with a team from Harvard Medical School. Researchers said that after carrying their study out on mice, they are able to see how skipping meals triggers responses in the brain.
Their findings show that skipping meals triggers responses in the immune cells of the brain.
LOL - you can't win no matter what. There always seems to be so much contradiction. One day something is good and the next day it is not. I am of the mind eat WTF you want in moderation on a regular basis while at least doing minimal exercise and keeping your weight under control.

I was shocked that it suggests diesel oil instead of motorcycle oil. Why would Harley state diesel oil,
Actually the answer is simple. Harley riders can't read but are able to recognize certain words such as diesel and oil. Makes it easy if they have to go into a store to get oil requiring them to only look for two words.

I agree with Dave that it works for weight loss. I am a desk jockey by day and couch potato by night. I started walking daily 5000 to 10000 plus steps a day after one of my dogs passed away. Keeping my non-vegetable diet of bad for you food (no changes) and just walking I was able to drop a pound to two a week. My pace is similar to Dave's or perhaps a little quicker when by myself. When I walk the dog it becomes a leisurely pace as I let my dog be a dog. However he has lost about 3 pounds himself and acts like a puppy for being almost 14 years old.
I think the key is consistency on a regular basis. I don't think walking would be effective for me if it was just walking my dog, but by myself at an elevated pace it works well.
I also change up my route by taking different trails in the woods.
I use strictly New Balance as I have wide feet and they work best for me.

Now it is just me and my wired earbuds (yes Swamp, wired). If you think walking is too easy, add some really steep hills. They will get your heart and lungs going.
Wired ear buds are making a come back. I definitely prefer them myself and use the wired to the phone type and not the wired Bluetooth type.

CAN YOU CERAMIC COAT POLISHED ALUMINUM WHEELS? (EXPLAINED)
Polished aluminum wheels look amazing. But they stain easily. If you own a set of bare aluminum wheels, you can testify how tiring it is for you to polish them every time.
A ceramic coat can seal the aluminum by creating a surface barrier. When you ceramic coat polished aluminum wheels, your wheels will retain that shiny look for longer. The ceramic coat will prevent grime, dirt, and brake dust from staining the wheels.
Can I ceramic coat polished aluminum wheels? Absolutely! You can ceramic coat your polished aluminum wheels. There are two ways how you can approach this.
First, you can buy a ceramic coating kit and apply it to the wheels. Alternatively, you can take your car to an auto body shop for professional ceramic coating.
When you ceramic coat polished aluminum wheels, you won’t have to clean the wheels after every drive. The ceramic coat gives you peace of mind knowing that your aluminum wheels will retain that decent polish.
And whenever you get the time, you can clean the surface of the wheels, and the stains should come off easily.

I wonder if applying something like a ceramic coating to your wheels would minimize the clean up by just spraying them off and wiping them down?
-
Hmmm. Ten hour drive. Wonder if they would let me take it for a "test" ride?

Thanks for the bad news. ☹️

I miss Discount. Used them for about 35 years and no issues and lots of no cost repairs.
I used the local military auto shop and they did a crappy job. The good thing is I found a good German tire shop that does great work and is reasonable.

Installed it in the parking lot . . ? I'd recommend taking the time to disconnect and bench charge the new battery (remove it if necessary). The first charging cycle is important because it'll maximize the charge holding capability and its potential usable lifespan. Most stores carry batteries holding little more than a modest surface charge and don't bench charge their batteries, assuming the customer will do so--or worse, don't really care once the sale is made.
i drove it the 5 or so miles home and then hooked it up to a trickle charger for about 15 hours. The instrument panel indicated 14.4 volts on my drive to work and start/stop now works. -

He’s in Germany. I’d be willing to bet it is not quite that easy. Or cheap. Dead batteries are probably somewhere between radioactive fallout and Zyklon B in terms of perceived environmental impact.
Azkr, We would love to hear the steps you have to take.
Expensive yes. The store was pretty good. I was going to carry the battery out and he insisted I use their push cart. I swapped it in the parking lot and returned the old one to them a few minutes later.Luckily I can repair most anything I need to and can usually order my parts from the states or bring them back when I visit.

Lol - true dat no Walmart/Costco. You all reaffirmed what I expected. Went to a local auto store and got
rapeda very good Varta AGM 800 CCA battery and should be good for a couple of years. 192 euros with a VAT form and a discount. I could have got the same one from Amazon.de for about 145 but was concerned about getting old stock and they wouldn’t allow returns.
No doubt it is more difficult and expensive to DIY over here but better then having a garage do it.

I think I am asking the obvious and already know the answer, but....
Vehicle is just over 7 years old with original battery.
The start/stop feature (annoyance) stopped working around the 3 year mark and I noticed the message alerting me that it is not ready has increasingly popped up progressively much sooner over the years. The indicated battery voltage when running has also decreased over that time from 14.2/14/4 to 13.7/14.0.
when not running the voltage at the terminals is 12.3.
I am guessing I pushed my luck far enough and should just replace the battery before it leaves me stranded.
No issues otherwise as far as starting or running.

Salt and vinegar potatoes. Pretty good but need to cut down the salt or use a substitute.

not sure if I specifically used this recipe but generally the same.

We've tried two of their soft cheese varieties and loved them. The French style and goat style varieties with herbs and garlic, on multi-grain flatbreads to make sort of pizzas. I'm ordering a big variety pack. Cut the dairy, real nutrition.

How do they get away calling their product cheese?
Cheese is a dairy product, derived from milk and produced in wide ranges of flavors, textures and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep.

Can't you freeze them for later?

What are the chicken looking items? I see the broccoli and chili pods and looks like something I would eat; heat doesn't bother me.

Dinner tonight. Lemon stuffed Salmon in the air fryer. Steamed veggies and homemade salsa.
The stuff that comes out of your smoker looks much more appetizing.

Bike has a military base decal on the fork. That by itself doesn't really mean anything, but the Air Force stopped using them in 2007 and Army/Navy in 2011. Marines used them until around 2016. Owner might have never removed it or it could be an old picture.

in looking at the attendees it appears there are more of other types of bikes than STs.

I assume it's women's, the zipper is on the wrong side. Thunderwear brand, marked size 54, fits about like a 42 men's.
Probably European. I bought a regular jacket and when trying it on wondered if it was a woman's jacket because the zipper was on the left. Come to find out that is normal for jackets over here. I think the fact that it is marked size 54 also indicates it is for the European market.

"We never heard another transmission on that frequency all the way to the coast."
Such a good story. Of course all the way to the coast was perhaps 10 seconds for them.
I guess I won't post my 35 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up and stay in the shadows.

Tire Shop
in The Garage

Is that labor for 170 to remove it from the bike, change the tire and put back on or just change the tire on the wheel? That seems like a lot either way but especially if only changing the tire on the wheel?
