Good morning!!!!

Drew.

After you spread your fertilizer. Cross disc. Usually either 45* or 90* to the direction of planting. This helps prevent fertilizer streaks. Clay soils you won’t see it much but your sand will stand out.
Then on final disc pass always go in the direction of planting. This allows any ridging that might happen to stay within the row instead of planting up and down. Although not a big deal with a push planter but today’s high speed units will tend to bounce.

If i order one, i will be the one learning to cook with it.

Here's a C-Net review of one of the baseline Instant Pots.

Instant Pot's Lux beats back Crock-Pot with better flavor - CNET

I picked up a six function Duo 6 quart earlier this year and it works fine for me. It came with a small cookbook, and so far everything I've tried with it, including rice, has come out perfect. Just like any pressure cooker, it's sensitive to the amount of food and water you put in it. Stick to a recipe, or a multiple of a recipe (don't overfill the pot) and it'll work great. Sounds like the C-Net reviewer winged it and got bad results, Gee, wonder why?:duh:

There are TONS of recipes out there that take the guess work out:

instant pot recipes - Google Search

The Cowboy Stew I made was a double recipe, and it came out fine. The only wrinkle is that in browning all that floured meat, a thick skin of browned flower and juices built up on the bottom of the pot. I threw in a cup of red wine, turned on the Saute function, and it boiled right off. Threw the rest of the ingredients in, gave it two Stew cycles for the double batch, and it was perfect.

I'm no chef, Farmer, and if I can cook in the darn thing, you should be able to as well.:thumbsup:

Wow. You guys have been busy. I’ve been busy helping my wife out, and dealing with our snow here. Things are pretty good, the weather has gotten warmer, enough to melt off the snow in many places.

I really have tried to cook, but my wife gets pretty agitated if I even try, it’s like I’m telling her that she isn’t doing something right? She is a good cook, so it’s not like I really have too. Maybe unconsciously, I don’t want to?

I’ll say without hesitation I’d prefer to cook than do the dishes. My wife is really good about not expecting me to do the dishes, although I do mostly clean up after myself. As for the cooking we both have things we prefer the other to make. I’m more adventurous as to trying something new or different. Being the oldest of 8 kids my mother had me cooking since I was tall enough.

The long lumber has been suitably reduced to their proper sizes and the raw ends received two coats of paint.


Assembly will start tomorrow.

Good morning all. Thanks for sharing the mini heatwave with us, 11C/52F expected today. Ground is sweating so much it's hard to believe it hasn't rained.

Apart from hard boiled eggs, my wife never trusted me to cook anything until we got an induction hob. The precise and almost instant control of the heat was a revelation and gave me the confidence to be far more adventurous -now I can do them soft boiled too

Thanks, I will remember this. I have to adjust my disc better, toplink not set right.
Hunting a drag harrow this morning.

Warm morning, rain coming in all day, 54 out now, high of the day.
Going to spend the day inside setting up my seedling room.

Good morning! Yesterday had me wishing for cooler temps when the sun peeked out and the temps reached 73˚. 57˚ now and we are expecting twenties by Christmas eve.

Today might be a road repair day, I noticed standing puddles yesterday and I still have half a gravel pile left from last year. I try not to scrape the road just fill in the low spots and keep the gravel compacted. My winding drive is developing bank turns which allows greater speeds going down the drive. My own racetrack.

51 high of 51 then falling some light rain today not much though. Good morning all

Prayers for Riptides Buckeyefarmer Toppop and all others who need it

these pics of pipe organs made me chuckle at this car article, polyphonic mufflers, new term, pipe organ tech
Don, get some polyphonic mufflers that PJ can help you tune...and let 'er rip on your driveway.

Of course I also just read that some new cars (VW) have plastic oil pans now that are really a concern on graveled roads and offroad.
Don, you might want to keep it under 100.

I have it on good authority that Muhammad aka Santa is going to give a new tractor to the
5 millionth poster. Better get all your specs ready, anything you want. :dance1:
spread it around...

 

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 25° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 31° with mostly sunny skies. Lot of melting snow yesterday. Got tractor out and cleaned up drive and walkway to give room for next snow fall. Need to modify a wire shelf in walk in closet. May require a trip to Menard's.
Got a email from WoodMaxx yesterday. Wood chipper has been shipped. May be here by Friday.
Like the Christmas Tree pictures.
David S, I missed what the lumber is for. But it sure looks good.
Riptides, prayers for your wife and you.
Good Morning All.

I sure wish I could find a youtube that I could listen to the new pipe-organ muffler, I bet it sounds sweet.

I thought i was up way too early posting before Roy. But he still has not posted, I hope he wakes up soon.

Just got my 3rd cup of coffee. NWS shows it to be 46 degrees going for 65. We had rain off and on most of the day yesterday and my gauge shows about 2.13", most rain we've gotten in a long time, and it was certainly needed, and is appreciated.

Bit late this morning...no internet connection at home, so I'm posting from work...

30 in Bethel (I'm in Claremont NH right now)...high will be right about what it is now...

That's it...

 

[Ed of all trades]

Good morning all, 49 this morning going to 51 and mostly cloudy. Looks like the NWS thinks the rain is going south of us. A couple friends over for last night for Christmas, fun but up late and up late this morning. Oatmeal is cooking. Went to a local wood yard and got a nice piece of curly walnut. Hope to start soon making an "old time banjo". Nylon strings, open back, for claw hammer style. Need to get a few things done in the shop first while the walnut gets used to its new home.

Riptides, prayers sent for you both.

Ron, you might have to chip the Christmas tree, it will be the only one without snow. :laughing: Prayers sent.

Have a great day, Ed

53 going to 56, and no rain forecasted until the weekend.

Replaced our mailbox yesterday. Old one got knocked over and smashed up this autumn, and I hammered it back into usable shape, but my wife finally found a new one she liked. We think it got hit by one of these...very large machine for our narrow country roads.

Also replaced the rear wiper arm on my wife's old SUV. Been working on getting it ready to sell, and waiting to see if a family member wants it. My wife says she wishes I had gotten it this spiffy while she was driving it.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

42° and up too early.
Prayers for riptide, wondering how it went.

I have a few of my own dishes i cook, one is a pork chop and rice dish, with peppers, onion and tomatoes, baked in the oven.

Another is jambalaya, receipe given to me by an old cajun coworker.

My wife is an excellent cook, just does things the old way, doesnt try new gadgets. She does try new recipes. Although, she did like the new electric canner.

18 and snowing. Forecast is for a high of 14 and flurries.

The parts were in and now are installed in the flare. I will get the flare installed today. I would have done it myself, but arthritis in my hands and the colder temps do not make for a fun experience.

After that it is back down to Sundridge and shopping.
I got all of my supplies yesterday. New lynch pin for my loader (I lost one and almost lost the pin for the curl on the bucket) and another case of low temp grease. I've got my second to last tube in the gun so I figured it was time to get another case.

Have a good day people.
