    Getting ready to do some riding mower maintenance. Going to put this on.
    Need to check the bearings of the pulleys before I do this because I don't want to do this job again. 
    I’m afraid I need to do the same thing to mine. Dang belt keeps falling off, and it’s a royal pita to put it back on. 
    Well dang! The idler pulley is noisy and one V idler pulley is also very noisy so I had to order replacements. Going to replace both V idlers and the idler pulley when they come in, next year. :s
    Well this is just getting better and better, NOT!

    I replaced two V type idler pulleys with no problem.

    But to remove the fixed idler pulley I need to remove the rear fender to get to the nut at the top of the pulley. Supposed to be a 15 minute job. Will see. There goes my day but at least it isn't cold or raining here.

    Had to play with sticks today as it had been three weeks.  Simple and easy (my skill-set) with  a half-cocked chix and some wings.  

    Wings taste test was great, chix for later.  (Outside temp 41*F).  
    Thanks for lookin'.

    @lousubcap Before it’s all said and done I’m sure I’ll have to have a stick burner. They can’t be beaten for some applications. Yes, they’re work - but that’s part of the fun. I hope you are staying well hydrated through the process.

    Indeed.  Hydration is essential to maintaining a healthy turgor pressure, especially critical when handling sticks.

    @nolaegghead ,  gotta enjoy turgor and it's cousin, turgid pressure.  You never know when you may get lucky.  Of course, that tends to deflate all the hard work to build it up.  ;)

    @nolaegghead Explain the truffle part. I’m assuming you’re talking about truffle oil? How did you use it?

    Threw some oil in the rue and some butter to finish when I tossed the pasta and the surimi.

    @SciAggie- Given your skill-set and your outdoor kitchen you likely will need a new internal driver to acquire a stick burner as I got there by being attracted to learning how to mange a wood fired smoker for years.  You are well clear of that incentive. As you well know, they need care and feeding almost continuously-I knew that going in. Playing with a full-up stick burner was my one last Q challenge.  And I would not have wanted to wonder about it.  I would definitely encourage anyone who wants to go in a new direction to give one a go, but I appreciate the commitment going in.  Yes, it is effort, but well worth it.
    However, any time I need to deliver some serious protein (brisket or butt) in the early PM the BGE wins every time.  All night stick feeding is not gonna happen.  FWIW-

    I hid a box of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups from the kids.  One of two things happened:

    A ) The kids found them and ate them all.

    B )  I forgot where I hid them.

    Either case I am totally bummed and Jonesing for some peanut butter cups.
