    with the A/C broken, my house has been 93 degrees. For two days now. 

    Ugh.  You've been sleeping there still?  I get cranky in the heat.  So, living in Phx, I'm only cranky about 6 months a year.

    Haha, for DFW, I get away with 4 months of crankiness. And yeah, sadly, we stayed in the house for the past couple of days. 

    On the the bright side, it’s down to 87 now...progress!

    Waiting for the HVAC repairman to go to Walmart to buy the tools that he forgot to put in his truck.
    Walmart for tools??? Kinda wonder, is he charging time for this on your job? Again, does he keep his truck parked after work in such as bad area he can't keep is tools in the truck? Either way, sure hope he gets back soon so you can be cool again.
    The cost ended up being nothing. Parts warranty was ten years and labor warranty was two years. System is 18 months old. He had left his tools with his crew at a larger job 40 miles away. The house is cooling down nicely.

    Just got a call from my dealer. Warranty fire ring is in. 7 days from inquiry email to delivery.

    Glad I've been putting that off for 5 months.

    Kitchenaid makes two sizes of consumer mixer, you have the larger (with a raising bowl) and I have the smaller (with a tilting head).  I envied the larger model as the dough hook pressed the dough down, while my model eventually pulls it up and has to be pushed down manually every so often.  
    I tried buying the hook for the larger model, did a whole bunch of measurements and calculations, and cut off that hook at "hopefully" the right place.  I mounted it, and YES! there was about a 1/16" gap between the hook cut and the bowl!  
    I poured in two cups of flour and the requisite amount of warm water, salt, and yeast, and turned Her on.  She went "RRRpt" and stopped abruptly; I quickly turned her off, then realized, despite my measuring and calculating, I MISSED the fact that the top driveshaft follows an orbital pattern, d'Oh!!  The cut end of the hook divoted the steel bowl pretty badly, and even jammed it onto the mixer's base (was hard to get it off).  
    I eventually re-did the measurements, re-cut the hook, but now it barely skimmed the top of the pile of 2 cups of flour, and I tossed it. I can afford the larger mixer, but it wouldn't fit on my kitchen counter and under the cupboards, so I've made do with the Artisan's hook, and soon after burned myself out on pizza anyway (I use my food processor for pasta dough).  
    Dumb Friday story, FWIW.

    Is that beef or venison? Looks like the inside tenderloin every dumb hunter around here throws away cause they don't know they exist.

    What happens if a squirrel or something gets suck up into that wheat bin? Does it get sorted out later somehow?

    Beef. "Petite tender" cut sometimes called the "teres major".  Jess Pryles turned me on (to it) at the Sunshine State Eggfest.   Great cut.  This was $11.99/lb with very tenderloin like characteristics.

    Thanks, @Jeremiah I guess I should add that I pulled it outta the fridge, added a healthy coating of Jess Pryles Black and put it on the egg at 400-450 for about 12 mins.  Flipping it every 2-3mins.

    Yes what? They have a squirrel sorter? What about if there's some deer pellets in there, or small rocks. Then what.
