Cooking & Baking

Sorry about your sore arm. Icy hot and rest is just the ticket.

I wrote a bit about the weedwacker on this morning's breakfast thread.

Now I am out of string so I have to learn to re-load it; the cool thing about this weedwacker is that if you just cut off a long piece and run it through two openings, click a button, and the weedwacker rewinds the string inside. This is hopefully a good innovation because the number one problem with these machines is that the string is not wound evenly when you put in a new spool. This causes the string to jam and then you have to sit there in the hot sun and reload it to make sure the string is all even. Really bad engineering idea, especially if you just happened to notice a leaf of poison ivy that your machine just cut.

You're so lucky the Christmas melon turned out good! I saw them at the store and they wanted $6, so I said I'm waiting until the price goes down.
