What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Not sure, the guy at Napa told me this about 15 years ago. Maybe something to do with the magnets?

 

unlike!! Bummer.

 

I think they may be talking about the housing, not the innards.. sorry if that's stating the obvious. Just a way to make them cheaper/lighter.

 

I believe its the magnets inside the housing. I was always told you break the old skool magnet if you hit it but if its the last straw oh well.

 

Not to get off subject...But Jack the Knife's posts just made me laugh out loud!! #1473 and #1474

 

Which one? Can you be more specific

 

Got a new carving knife for Christmas and Mama made her Irish Pot Roast in the crock pot with big red potatoes, carrots and onions to stick to my inards.. man this new knife cut like that meat was butter.

 

#1473 - paragraph 1, subsection 1, sentence 1........#1474, Ditto

 

About the same here. Coffee and I'm making 4 quarts of split pea soup and 4 quarts of turkey stock for soup. I will bring some wood in to the basement today. Nor'easter with winds is predicted.

Pretty high activity at the bird feeders today. They know something is up.

 

1. Coffee
2. Sour Dough French Toast and Smoked Bacon
3. Keep the stoves fed
4. Watch Football, it's -23.4 with 18" of snow on the ground. No much going on outside with that.

 

1. Snow blow
2. Outback bowl
3. Honey BBQ Wings

 

Very cool !! Day before a holiday is almost always very quiet and we leave early. We are in service industry though so we have to be open for at least half the day.

For me it was a very busy day yesterday. Small company and last day of the year. Closing the financials and making sure as many loose ends got tied up. Owner left around 1:30 and told me that we can leave when we felt ok about everything. The newly hired receptionist (young girl) thought that meant we were leaving-I just chuckled. I did let her and the service guys go around 2:30-3:00 and us final 3 were out around 4:00. Made for a tired New Years Eve. But that's just fine with me...I did my NYE partying many years ago

 

I loved those grab your own junkyards. I was at the one on Western Ave in Lynn, Mass ALOT back in the day. Not many of those still around in this area

 

If I owned my own I would call it Grab Your Own Junk(yard).

 

There are a few that will pull your junk for you but none that let you pull it yourself

 

Hey OldHippie, how are you liking that knife? we just got a new set and we love it. Enjoy.

 

Today we are recuperating from last night. Just had breakfast and took out some Tbones out of the freezer for a late lunch-early dinner. Both of our kids are at their friends so its just my wife and I home a lone. "Hey Now". Mainly watching tv. We do have to bring wood into the house in advance of the cold snap and snow coming tonight.

 

Just relaxing today and taking it easy. Been real busy at work plus the holidays so a down day is very welcomed. Storm coming for next 2 days so will be dealing with work and snow cleanup for the rest of the workweek.

 

It's incredible.. I cut through that rump roast like it was soft butter (and it wasn't) I always left the cooking utensil acquisition to my wife and she is probably a bit more budget conscious. This carving knife was a gift from my future SIL, and he loves to cook.. they have like every gizmo known to man regarding cooking.

You need the right knife when carving any meat really.
