It's really amazing how bad the plugs can get in a modern computer controlled engine, and have it still run mostly OK.

Took hardly any time at all before it went to whipped cream, and then on past, separating out into solids and liquid.

I drank the buttermilk. Oh my but that was a treat.

Then I ate part of a baguette with soft sweet freshly made butter. That went well.
Some years ago my wife and I are in an Irish pub in NJ, and afterward I had an Irish Coffee (like you do). The whipped cream had been over-whipped and turned into butter, when I told the waitress she didn't believe me until she tasted it herself, and then she said "My God, that IS butter!" Yeah, I know the difference in taste between whipped cream and butter, even after a handful of Guinesses (Guini?)

The one and only time I took my wife to Cold Stone Creamery, she ordered strawberry ice cream. They must have had a screw up with the recipe or something, because what she got was more like strawberry flavored butter.

We never went back, and we still joke about the strawberry butter. I guess that's a possible failure mode of super duper excessively high milk fat ultra premium ice cream - it just might come out as butter.

Need a torque wrench for the mower blade replacement.

A good one goes for $140!!!!!!!!!

So I bought the $20 Harbor Freight torque wrench of shame. We'll see how it goes.

You don't need a torque wrench! Tighten it down until just before it breaks, that's good enough. If it breaks, you've over-torqued it.

I typically give it a few hits with air impact and call it good. Remove the same way.

Didn't I just write about my recent experience with a horror fright torque wrench?

Short answer: don't. :|

Go buy a good one on eBay used.
