I had fond memories of them, too. Before the packers came up with
the x-ray laser-guided cutting cabinets that strip almost every last
speck of meat off of the ribs laving it on the boneless ribeye
roasts (that sell f or twice as much).
 
Here in Texas they don't even bother selling or serving them
anymore. I think County Line BBQ still has them, but they have to
special request that some meat be still left om them. Otherwise
you'd just get a rack of soup bones.

Back when Growlers had an "All The Ribs You Can Eat" event I ate THREE HALF SLABS and hardly any of their Fries. Loved me some pigsickles!

Some years ago I stripped the wallpaper off the walls in the hallway,
stairwell and upstairs hallway that had been there before we bought the
house. An intense, duck-egg blue was revealed. I bought a gallon of Behr
white primer, supposedly a premium paint from Home Depot. It didn't
obscure the old colour at all. I went back and bought CIL primer at a
much lower cost and it completely obscured the colour in one coat.

I chose Rustoleum because of those new metalic colors, I used their
Hammered Copper on that tank and was very pleased with the results,
and only gave it one coat so far... I still have the second quart for
another coat when/if needed. One quart gave it a generous coat.
Everyone who sees it is very impressed and asks about that paint.
I saved myself a 40 mile round trip to the big hardware stores by
ordering it from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-239074-Hammered-1-Quart-Packaging/dp/B0010OKLO0/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=rustoleum+metallic+paint&qid=1594735023&sr=8-2
Looks good next to our yellow barn. Was quite a job setting up that
275 gallon tank and moving it into place by myself. Even empty it's
very heavy and with no handles was difficult to move.
I used an 8' 2" x 4" as a lever to lift one end at a time and swing it
into place on those concrete pads. First thing was to place it on one
end so I could screw in those legs, those are extras. All the parts
are extras, the gauge, the rotary pump, the vent pipe, the fill, and
fittings and valve on the underside for draining any condensation. I
had to set it at a slight angle to use that valve to drain water
acculations. I've since added a filter that catches particulates and
sucks out water... so far no water, the place I buy diesel gives a
clean product.
That tank saves me time, labor, and money. I got tired of having to
drive to a gas station to fill two five gallon cans with diesel each
week, and gas stations don't sell off-road diesel which isn't taxed as
high. Sears had the lowest price for that tank. The fuel oil dealers
wanted twice as much for a tank. Sears charged $434.00. With the
legs, gauge, fill, and vent it cost $536.50. I bought the crank pump
and filter from Amazon... don't remember the price and don't feel like
looking it up... probably another $150. Oh, and I had to buy a larger
pipe wrench than I had for those 2" legs and other fittings. Bought
the drain valve and those fittings too. The Rustoleum paint was the
least expensive part.

I use water-based enamel for woodwork and doors and hasn't peeled or bubbled
up one single time in the 32 years I've lived in this almost 100-year-old
house. It must be the magical climate here in Tennessee that makes it adhere
so well.

I don't think anyone gets out scot-free of a grocery store anytime they
walk through the doors.

I've never watched either show as much of what's aired on broadcast TV is
just garbage. I'm assuming both of these shows are on broadcast TV and
I won't even mention those 'reality' shows.

UGH! You can't even get on the internet without some earth-shattering story
about them. Go to the grocery store, Walmart, Target, etc. and there's a
rag disguised as a magazine with their mugs plastered on the front.

Who are these worthless people and how did they get a tv show?

Old World Roofing showed up at 7:30AM to Beat The Heat!
 
And they work until about noonish, in this heat!
 
I will be painting more Lacey Lavender paint inside today, after making Mushroom Spinach Stuffs.

You should tell them to come at 6 or 6:30 if they want to.
They probably would, if you let them
 
On very hot days, once 12 noon comes, the heat really goes
nuts...especially working on a roof.
 
So hot and humid here, even on the ground. So glad I
don't have to work outside all day any more. arrghh.

Yes. I explained this to Hank recently in a different thread.

I'm sure your implied anecdote is accurate (re. flavouring a gym).
 
But what is the basis of your assertion that dehydration then hydration
then cooking is better than raw at producing foul emissions?
 
(Or perhaps you meant cooked then dehydrated then rehydrated?)
 
As ds1 explained a few weeks ago, the chemical reactions of
'browning' (what others call 'caramelization' & the 'Maillard reaction'),
are extremely complex.
 
We do know that many of the allium & brassica chemicals occur in separate
cell types, causing our eyes to cry & 'hot' taste sensation only when the
plant cell walls are broken, either by maceration or cooking.
 
 
My best guess at the absolute smelliest gym would be pureed allium
(smorgasbord), egg yolk, and fresh-mixed mustard as a glaze over stewed
mustard greens & asparagus tips on a bed of rutabaga (for the
polysaccharides.)
 
Wow, that made me fart just thinking about it.

I started out painting slow but very neat. As the years went on
I painted faster and faster (and still neat).
 
Even the best can occasionally screw up. No big deal as long
as you clean up your mess and not leave it.

Sorry, my boo-boo... runs and holidays was a common shipboard
expression, as in check for... but was some 60 years ago. We didn't
have many paint colors; white, black, battleship grey (dark), haze
grey (light). We used black paint mixed with a kind of sand for walk
ways. Shipboard nomenclature was a strange language, especially for
painters; walls are bulkheads, ceilings are overheads, floors are
decks, stairs are ladders, doors are hatches, windows are portholes,
matress covers are fartsacks... we know who sniffs those.

>https://donpedrobrooklyn.com/baseboard-styles/
 
Baseboard's original intent was to cover the space where the lath and
plaster wall met the flooring, was typically hardwood/parquet... then
along came sheetrock, plywood, and wall-to-wall carpeting... requires
far less skill. During the late 1800s and early 1900s wooden wall and
ceiling moldings were common... now most moldings are plastic.
