It's really amazing how bad the plugs can get in a modern computer controlled engine, and have it still run mostly OK.HTRN wrote:So i just did the plugsinthe beater and I think I found the cause of the check engine light- the old plugs looklike the insideof a weber grill.

Re: Does not follow...
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?)Greg wrote:I made my own butter for the first time today. We had a container of cream that had just a little left, so I poured it into a jar and started shaking.
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.

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.MarkD wrote:Some years ago my wife and I are in an Irish pub in NJ, and afterward I had an Irish Coffee (like you do).

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.

Short answer: don't.
Go buy a good one on eBay used.
