Very interesting and informative, Janice. Thanks! It looks like MidWest Steel is in a town not far from me. I could drive over to pick up my keys. 😄 You have a good, safe, enjoyable July 4th!
I remembered being concerned when I initially called that they were so big a little order like mine wouldn't be worth their time and efforts. It was a huge relief to be able to buy what I needed. And they cut it for me!!!
Stainless steel is notoriously difficult to cut and I was concerned. The man I spoke to back then was just so nice. Four years later I still remember his kindness.
Here it is hot. Summertime is best spent reading. Well, anytime is good for a kindle. Mine may indeed be wearing out. It doesn't always charge. That will be a sad day when I have to get a new one.
I will admit to being a bit interested in the newest waterproof paperwhite. My paperwhite still works though. From reading reviews I get the impression there isn't a big change between the two, excluding water and that's not really a problem. The paperwhite though is heaps better than the fire in that fire is a lot heavier.
A friend did pass along her kindle fire so when my paperwhite finally breaks I'll not be without while ordering a new one. I read at least an hour or two each evening in my bunk. Thank goodness for gutenberg.
I hope you have a great holiday. I have hotdogs.
Are you sharing hot dogs with your bird friends?
For myself I buy Aldi's Kirkland brand of what they call Jalapeno Turkey sausages. They are hotdogs, however much lower calories and fat than regular ones. Besides, I actually enjoy the flavor.
Plus in 45 seconds they are hot and ready. Sometimes, okay... OFTEN I simply want food. Preferably relatively healthy food, too. Thay is where microgreens and my lentil sprouts come I to play.
Still. I enjoy meat. Tortillas are easy and don't go bad. The shelf life on flour tortillas is good too.
Bigger Bolder Baking on YouTube had a video on making a pizza on a stovetop in a nonstick frying pan. I'm not sure if will work, however if I can make a personal pan pizza using a tortilla as the crust...
Eons ago I used to make pizza in a toaster oven using tortillas as the crust. This BiggerBolderBaking method is not that different from my own so I'm looking forward to trying. If it works that would be a great treat.
Anyway, the dogs I ate yesterday are delicious. My birds won't ever have them. I hope your weekend was good. Your friend, J.
This is a terrific article on shaft keys and zinc storage. Who knew such things could be so interesting?! You are SO clever. Thanks for the education and suggestions. You do great work!
Your comment made my day. Thanks! It is little things that can bite a boater in the transom. I am glad this article was helpful to you.
All the best, J.
