And Amazon did not lose my package.

You're not going to build your career off these. Or even reach for them when you're doing work around the house. But they are light, take up less space, and good enough if you are on the road, something rattles loose, and you need to tighten it down. The reality of a tool kit on your bike, or even in your truck, is that you are not really going to be doing repairs with it. Let's say that you are on the side of the road, in the middle of the night, and your water pump, starter, or alternator goes bad...... or even something simple like a broken hose or drive belt. You won't have the spare part. Simple fix. Only you're in the middle of nowhere, and no stores are open. You can't really replace a small part on the side of the road - because you can't get your hands on the part. Most "emergency" repairs aren't really possible.

These will be okay. I hope. Now I don't have to worry about losing much more expensive wrenches.

I'm going to run for POTUS. My campaign slogan will be "A Ford in every garage!"
Think it will work?

Of course I like beef. I just can't afford it so I usually buy chicken or fish.

I suspect that frozen, processed food like fish sticks, pizza pockets,and chicken tenders cost more than fresh meat.

Rob from the city,

How do you cook your tri tip? BBQ, stove top or oven? We need directions...

And I sure hope the weather takes a turn for the worse around here and we get some 70 degree temperatures.

I tried to cook it once. It didn't turn out very good.

Cast iron pan. Preheat oven to 500, with pan in it. Place meat into hot pan. Center of oven. 12 minutes. Turn off oven. Leave it for at least an hour with the door closed. Don't open it. The trapped heat will slow roast the meat. I wait until the oven door glass is cool to the touch.

That's it. Hot oven. Hot cast iron. 12 minutes.
