Well, the nest is empty so I got my barn back after 3 months of storing dorm sh!+. I keep the good stuff inside.

I wanted to bring this to anyone's attention that might be interested. They seem to be liquidating the Traeger Pro 34s on Amazon and other sites. Link won't take for some reason. I got one for $499 when I noticed them Memorial Day. Since then, they go in and out of stock. I really like it so far. It...

Not exactly "what's for dinner" but a Mod I use with my Weber gas grill that I've had for 15 years or so. I was tolerating my gas grill for awhile, it was OK but not anything like charcoal. I added lava rocks between the "flavorizer bars" and it made a big difference. More even h...

Before going to sleep today, I checked the logs and whatever bad traffic we were being hit with has subsided enough where I was able to remove the US filter at least.

Another twin motor rig I ran into just looking around. I get the point of the twin motors (although wouldn't fit into most classes these days), but for the love of dog, the motors need to be the same!!!

I wouldn't call it a restoration but I am breathing some life back into this piece. Wild hare i guess. Still has the wheelie bar on it. The Johnson 540 being installed won't require it.
