Cleaned out the garage, performed my quarterly running of both generators, and rebuilt a duraheat kerosene heater. I need to lay in a few more cans of K1, but I have enough to get by for a while if need be.

I'm guessing its important to stop whining and just watch more how to on youtube. my dumbass is downloading the files from Thingiverse. then running it through this free/easy slicer program that's web based: https://grid.space/kiri/ from there I edit what I feel I need to and go from there. I'm going to to get my own real stuff but for now this is fine. I am using an Ender 5 that I got on amazon. I sent it in a PM but so far I've done 3 battery holders, the light holder, a half dozen kids toys, that armor hook, 4 AR 3 mag holders, and some kids toys for $14 worth of filament. I will be printing some guns once I get dialed in, but I'm trying to learn the ropes. If anyone has questions feel free to post or PM, I've learned a lot from here and have some resources to share. seems like a good way to make parts for appliances and random things that break. I I made a Molle panel but don't love it. I'm dumb but learning

Broke out my wheat grinder and working on a big loaf of whole wheat bread. Figure I'd better develop a good recipe with all the hard wheat I bought lol.
Current Recipe: 3 cups white wheat berries (5 cups ground?) 1 cup bread flour (to aid in dough hook stickiness) 4 tsp salt 1 tbs yeast 2 tbs honey 1.5 cup water? I added too much, hence the bread flour Might make two loafs. We'll see how the proofing goes |

I figured it would be easier just to get a brand new one. we don't use propane except for our turkey fryer and pot still. grill is pellet, camp stove runs on 1 pounders. figured this would be good back up and last for about ever should we need it. |

I’m not a hunter. I’d like to be, but I haven’t put enough effort into it.
So, yesterday I went to a buddy’s place to see how to skin and quarter a deer. I brought a couple kids with me too. The boy was delighted. The girl wasn’t bothered by it, just more interested in the cat. It’s a small thing for most on here, but a big thing for us. |

There are adapter hoses to run the equipment designed to run on the 1lb bottles that allow the same equipment to run off of the refillable 20 lb tanks. a one lb bottle will currently run you $ 5.00 or so for about 91,500 btu's of energy = 18,300 Btu per dollar A refill on a 20 lb tank will run you $ 15-20. Using the higher number $ 20 will buy you 1,830,000 btu's of energy = 91,500 Btu per dollar. Tanks I reject from filling usually have excessive rust, severe physical damage, or I will find the seals leak as I start filling them. I have never been able to tell if one was internally rotten. How did you determine that? |

I wasn't too mad, it came free with a trailer I had purchased and made money flipping, and I traded that one in at a place that did an exchange. I do have the adapter hose you mention. we use the 1 pounders for travel and the 20s for back up. 40 pounds (and another 10 in 1 pounders) should last a while making eggs and small meals if SHTF for real and we lose gas, too. I'm also trying to get a Little Buddy heater for christmas. Figured if we get a "Texas" storm here in GA that would be helpful. |

So take the tank to a exchange place and pick up a newer tank that's full for what $20 ish. Most hardware stores, some grocery and gas stations do exchanges. It's what most of us do when we end up with a tank over 12 years old that can't be refilled until it's inspected. |
