CMA's? you guys talking about the Cripppled Midget Aliens porn with Bridget the Midget? If so, I love the part where the space ship crashed and she gets out and starts to ........well, nevermind.

eat cheese?

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Did I speak to Molly on the phone?

Yep, that was me!

you know those frying pans that no one ever uses in the cupboard because they're all burnt on the bottoms?

a grinder and wire wheel knocks those right out.

We'll see what jennie says.

87 'power tools in the kitchen' manche

These were not teflon pans, straight stainless with copper clad bottoms.

The one had obviously been left on a burner too long. I was going to pitch them (cleaning up the pots and pans cabinet), but then I thought grinder.

somehow I always go to the grinder first.

I was about to crucify you for wrecking the seasoning on a good pan.

I'd only do this with a VERY light touch, to avoid stripping the plating off the pans. Angle grinders even with only wire wheels are amazing at cleaning rust, grime, scale, plating, weld spatter, paint, rustproofing, skin, and muscle off of things...

Removing TJ flares and replacing them with Bushwacker flares seemed like a good idea at the time...

This is going to take forever...

The worse pans are spun aluminum...

I would have to spend half the original cost of my jeep to buy a set of bushcrackers.

Revereware is stainless steel cookware with a thin copper layer clad on the bottom, no Teflon(tm). While it may not be the cheapest cookware out there, it's far from expensive. It cooks fairly well, generally even heat, although the bottoms might be a little thin for a lot of low heat cooking.

I'd be nervous about introducing scratches in the stainless steel with either a grinder or a wirewheel. Revereware isn't seasoned like cast iron where a fat will polymerize to form a pretty effective non-stick surface and cover minor defects.

I rubbed them out nicely with nevrdull till they were shiny, that's why they had to go in the dishwasher. They're still smooth. I was going to pitch them anyway, so if they're hosed it's not biggie.

Who the hell leaves a pan on the cook top that long?
Was Helen Keller cooking?

I'm sure she fell asleep while cooking. It's not the first time. at least I know the smoke detectors work.

dude, I loves me some cast iron. I would never destroy cast iron with a grinder.

I wonder what else we cn introduce into the kitchen from the garage.
I learned that baking paint onto your AK in the oven was abig no no.
there has to be a use for the sawzall in the kitchen. Thanksgiving is coming up. Turkey carver? Hobag must do this, he's the sawzall artist.

the one that I learned from my dad is that a big ass 2-handed 1/2" drill is great for mixing frosting and cake batter when the electric mixer takes a dump. Just chuck the eggbeater / other implement up in it and go to town.

Others:
blowtorches can be used to brown meringue
caulking guns combined with some PVC pipe and brass hose barb fittings make good cake presses (I built this at 9pm wandering through Home Depot so I could finish the family thanksgiving tradition snack, peanut butter stuffed dates... Home Depot was my default store to go to when I couldn't buy the right item premade elsewhere)
mini screwdrivers and allen keys make decent cake/bread tester sticks (multimeter probes aren't long enough)
vise grips and/or dead blow hammers are good for cracking nuts
vise grips make good potlid removers, cake pan picker uppers, and pan handles if yours break off, or you don't have an oven mitt handy
zip ties can be used for ANYTHING. go easy on the wd40 and duct tape though

edit: oh yeah. leftover mig wire from the end of a spool is good for tying up the legs of birds while baking them (holds the stuffing in) - fluxcore wire just isn't the same

Blow torches are also excellent for creme brulee. I still haven't eaten it, but the fire part is awesome.

My favorite kitchen implement is a cast iron skillet that's probably older than I am. Everything that comes out of it tastes like bacon fat and garlic. It makes leftover pizza even better.

Yah, but the Cherokee is an 01 with less than 90K on it.

Besides, a set of new TJ flares are, what $129 or so? I paid $377 shipped to my house for the BWs. A bit over double the cost, but potentially worth a bit more than that in law abiding wheel coverage and better looks.

Bush Whacker flares was the worst decision I ever made!
I hope you don't plan on wheeling it any more.
Mine looked good until the first wheeling trip, then they were removed by the tight trees. Then you are left with a bunch of over sized holes around your wheel wells and a $400.00 hole in your wallet.

Now I have a $300 gift certificate for them that I'm wondering what to do with...

[Fore Wheeler]

I have bushwackers on my dodge.

they work great for covering up rust

 

[Rev Den]

I have TJ flairs. They provide proper coverage, and are indestructible.

So what you're saying is, you're large enough to be seen from space?

At least I have grown since 8th grade ..!.

The new flat fender flares from bushwhacker are a totally different product. That's what I used my gift certificate for.

Take a look at the install instructions on the website. Just a little trimming and a couple new holes in the fender, then the actual flare pops on to the mounting plates that you screw into the fender. If I remember, it also uses some of the holes that are already there.
