I have stainless steel too. Just my Dutch oven and skillet are cast iron and I use them the most. My stainless steel pots tend to look like this because I burn things in them. I need a gas stove. Electric stinks for cooking!



Anyways, y'all can get back to your Manly stuff now.

As for cooking, I've got some nice stainless pots/pans. And a few cast iron... Cleaning the stainless I use a scuff pad for paint prep. Lol. Cut the big pad into 4, they last quite a wile too

Have you had good luck with Coopers? I was looking at some, but they had terrible reviews by folks online...

I personally haven't. The few people I've talked to that have these tires said they are great. I typically like Duratracs but wanted something a little bigger than I had (275/70-18) and the next size they offer is 325/65-18 which I didn't want because it is too wide IMO.

Steel wool I know about. Problem is I always forget to buy it.

Never tried the aluminum and salt before. Always have those on hand! Gonna give it a shot.

Eric, I'm having the same reaction! You think Frank Cannon would have approved?

What's your ex idling at in drive and in park? I'm at about 850 rpm in park and 700 rpm in drive when I'm stopped. Seems a little high to me.

Untrusting wife is untrusting... A tale of FTE brotherhood

So TGI Fridays is doing all you can eat apps and I'm fat so shut up but anyway... I hate places like Friday's. I hate Bennigans, Applebee's, and Chilis too. I hate hate HATE restaurants like this. So I saw the commercial for the all you can eat and so I told Wendy I wanted to choose the dinner destination tonight. We showed up at Friday's and she started laughing and saying things like "you're joking right?" Because she hates these places too. Then it dawns on her that there is something else going on and I have an ulterior motive. She immediately scans the parking lot, finds an excursion pulling a trailer and yells "Who is that!!!" Like she caught me with my mistress. I call her in it and she replies with "You talk to everyone on the forum I just assumed you were meeting more of the guys!"
