Is there any topic on here I can't get answered by an expert?
I would think most likely not.

There's those wierd spikes with the knobs that we haven't figured out what they are yet. I think that's the only thing.

The only reason fries beat potato salad is because you all haven't had my mom's potato salad.
oh, we can ANSWER anything. CORRECT answers are whole 'nother affair.
As for grits, most people don't cook them very well. You have to boil them while stirring for about 20 minutes so they really start to soften and get creamy. The stirring is key, the mechanical action loosens the starches. Most folks use instant grits, which are as tasty as library paste, or they don't cook them long enough and they're like watery, corn flavored sand.
Done right with a little butter, salt, and a splash of milk they are amazing. But it's work. They are also an amazing vehicle for almost any other flavor.
Along the same lines, anyone like savory oatmeal besides me? Some bacon bits, a little cheese and butter, and a soft fried egg mixed in makes an amazing bowl of oatmeal. You can even use all the stuff you'd normally put in Ramen, including cookign them in broth, and it's fantastic.
Now, cream of wheat, is the only one that I prefer sweet to savory. Make it with a little milk, stir in brown sugar, butter, and a little cream cheese and it's heaven.
Why do I enjoy hot cereals so much for someone whose always live in the deep south? It's too hot for that crap down here!

Not a PCC. The ONLY PCC I have an interest in is a Auto Ordinance M1 SBR. I was looking at a 10.5" pistol in 5.56 with fixed sights. Mag interchangability with the 16" carbine. one caliber to buy ammo for (and one for the pistols). spare parts etc. I don't see the point of a 7.5" 5.56 though. Those just seem like flame throwers that happen to shoot projectiles.
I don't get AR pistols at all, but I also didn't get the Shockwaves until I got one.
And I like my Shockwave a lot

Mashed Potatoes FTW, although I predict they will lose to French Fries, because snopes be snopes.

I still have 3 of 4 in.

I'll take it with butter, cinnamon and nuts. I find steel cut oats cooked low and slow are sweet enough on their own.

My dad could cook amazing grits. Add a pat of butter and a splash of maple syrup and wow!

I like steel cut oats, made with reduced water (1:2 instead of 1:3), mixed with some toasted nuts or sunflower seeds, cinammon, and fruit, plus a bit of milk.

That sounds damn tasty.

Garage reeked of tomcat pee last evening, so had neighbor drop off a live trap (we have one too, but it's loaned out to someone else, seems to be the nature of the things).
This morning there's a orange Tom in the trap and he's going off to my wife's clinic to get neutered. She also needs a barn cat over there, so hopefully this works out.
And after some cleaning, the garage smells better this morning.
Stray cat is sticking around in the barn. Hopefully he is terrorizing the mice.

Name it Setzer.
How about a Bad Obsession Motorsports video about classic rally cars getting a workout:
I'm watching the second Iron Sky, perfect movie for times like this
Can confirm, it's not as good as the first one

I did it, bought a set.
And now to strip, polish and rebuild. Going to try to find a spare or two to refinish with them so I don't get caught with a broken one and no way to match it later on.
I'm still mad about Starch Madness.
Sammy Hagar posted a short video on his IG account of a new song. Recorded on iPhones from each other's homes. Not bad.
I bought a house. Gotta buy some weed and feed and see if there's any grass under the pretty, flowery weeds that make up the yard. Well, the front yard least, as the back is half Florida sand. Cable guy was in this past Thursday and we pulled a skeletal rat out of the drywall behind the cable outlet, that was nifty. Still, new vinyl plank and paint in 2 bedrooms and the 3rd is the nice den that I'm typing from. The Mustang is in the driveway and, with everything being cancelled everywhere, I'm not in too much of a hurry to get it running again. Summers are a slow time for our little group of track goers, what with the demands of bosses and jobs, but I aim to have it going again this coming month. I'm essential these days, as a fixer of medical devices, or else I'd probably have it running already.

If it were me, I'd just leave it weeds. Oh, wait... that's exactly what I did.

I still haven't seen the final results

The mower doesn't care if it's grass or not. It's all green and the same height, it's good. Plus the flowers are pretty and feed the bees.
I subscribe to the green weed lawn theory as well. It does need mowing more often, it grows...well, like a weed. My neighbor who paid to sod her yard a couple years ago asked me what my secret to such a green lawn was. I looked at her brown dead patch and my pretty green lawn. She asked if I had an in-ground sprinkler. I said yeah, but I haven't run it in over a decade. You've got grass, mine's weeds.
She wasn't impressed.
I do think that lack of real grass may be contributing to the back yard being mushy. Like maybe grass would use more water and it wouldn't be a green rug pulled over chocolate pudding after it rains?
I'm am fascinated by this dude's house. Also his skills are pretty amazing.
