I need to move out to the fucking country.

Like seriously, what kind of jobs could I do out on the country that would make a living wage? I've got some cooking skills and mycology skill... and then a bunch of desk work and HR bullshit experience.

This was inspired by ya'lls scores and having room to even have a mulcher.

I've found that using a very light grip and slow twist on stubborn rings works very often. I figure older rings are slightly warped and when you squeeze hard and turn, the imperfection just kind of gets "caught" and can't turn freely. But if you use a light grip and go in a circle trying new angles every 1/8" or so, you'll catch it and open it right up.



AA25 I picked up for $150. Owner used it to sterilize tattoo stuff. They'd had it for 7 years I think, but only used it a few times per year. Don't think they bought it new, but what a deal. I had them send pictures verifying it hit above 15PSI and they did.

Going to read the manual later tonight and figure out how to use it. I have a bunch of threads saved as well as I know I need to modify something in there to fit maximum capacity. First time with stopcock as well. Doesn't have a stand, but I heard folks use patio bricks instead so I'll look into that tonight, too.

If anybody has some things I should double check on the unit before running it, especially WRT to safety, I'm all ears. Going to replace over-pressure plugs on all my units soon and keep the currents as back-ups.

About 6 months ago I also got a brand new, in box, never used AA921 for $120. The only issue was the owner was a heavy smoker so the box was stained yellow and the unit stank horribly. But a quick deep scrub got the smell off the unit and it works great.

They had 11 of them?  That’s a good deal, just looked at Cabela’s.ca and it was 599.99

And about time too, no more rinky dinky drying on the heater. We got this 10 tray dehydrator through our equivalent of craigslist (it's called marktplaats, which translates as market place) for just 60 euros

I have that EXACT dehydrator, black with the blue trays and all. I got mine new a few years back and paid about $100 so good deal.
I was never able to fill it in the past, I hope to have the opposite issue soon enough.

Nice, Tweeq. Are those the FC's you're using for pans in the background? I like it
