    Ventured to Duluth, MN for the weekend. Looking for some American staples. Heard Duke's mayo is at Wal-Mart here, will see. Picked up some Elija Craig rye for tonight, so far so good. Also found chik-fil-a sauces and Grillo pickles. Anything else any Canadians stock up in while in the US?
    I live 2 hours south of Duluth - if you need any recommendations up that way let me know!

    I'm not sure what your situation is like for Blues Hog sauce in Canada but if you're already stopping in Walmart they now carry Blues Hog Sauce. 

    Enjoy Duluth if it's your first time visiting!

    Wondering what up with the pop up ads on the Flame Boss App, this is very recent… @stlcharcoal ? 


    No idea, I haven't experienced it.  But I've had the same happen to me on websites (news, forums, etc) that I pay extra not to see ads, yet they still find their way through.

    Better question for the Flame Boss himself, @MichaelCollins
    From Flameboss ( awesome service, even with just a question)

    Hi Larry,

    User feedback like yours has us considering alternative options and is the reason for the late reply. We are doing what is necessary to help offset a portion of the rising expense of providing this free service to our customers while looking into ways for our customers to opt-out of ads if they so choose. Again we apologize for the late response but wanted to carefully consider your feedback.

    Going on a bourbon hunt after work and then firing up the egg and fire pit as long as the rain holds off.

    My wife is a RN and worked overnight 12's last weekend so I was basically single dad'ing it with a 4yo and 4mo. I'm ready to relax and have a brown water or 12 this weekend.

    This warmer weather is reminding me I need to whip up a batch of slushies ala @YukonRon soon too!

    Looks like your luck has held out for another day!  Glad it all ended well.

    Also, that is a really cool picture.

    Sure, any recommendations on good apps? Don't need a full meal tonight as I've eaten and drank too much the last couple days.
    This is likely my 30th or so time here, but things change fast and it's been a year since I've been last. 

    Will look for the blue's hog sauce, thanks

    Here's the expensive part @ColbyLang

    I have to get the temp higher before the salt generator will work!  One and a half inch gas main feeds this pig! It next down to 3/4 of an inch right before it goes in.

    3D printed a balancing jig for the blade, it is surprisingly precise.



    I flew CL and RC planes way back in high school, and built a similar jig for balancing propellers.  Dad didn't have a lathe, so I drilled a hole in a small block of wood and glued a dowel into it; chucked it up in an electric drill and eventually got a cone shape, using a chisel and sandpaper.  It worked, but was soon replaced by two upward-facing razor blades set into a block of balsa, with a brass tube thru the prop.  Ah the good ol' days.

    Is it a free service @lkapigian? Didn’t you pay for it when you bought the flame boss?  @paqman two things to remember but you may already know, tip the mower carb side up so you don’t drain oil into your airfilter and remove the spark plug wire so it doesn’t accidentally start when you are taking the blade off.

    @alaskanassasin I learned the hard way the first time I serviced it.  The mechanic gave me a good trick.  Remove the spark plug wire and then pull the crank slowly until you feel the most resistance.  At this point, the valves are closed and the oil isn’t going anywhere when you turn it on its side.

    Yes sir free, that being said I’d gladly pay for the service…. Choices

    I know there are not a lot of hockey fans here, but that was a hell of game. Made even better with John’s beer. I can go to bed happy tonight.

    Hockey fan here, but it's hard to watch when my team goes out first round just like every other year ever.

    Shoutout to my neighbor who is a Leaf's fan, made it out of the first round! (and then lost but shhhh)

    What a poor showing for the Leafs. Having Tavares, Matthews, O’Reilly and Marner and losing to the last team to make the playoffs, not sure the coaching staff will make it through.
