Door Repair

Posted on November 29, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

I’ve been driving around with a little door damage caused by some worthless waste of flesh a while back. I wanted to try to repair the damage myself, so I finally upgraded my wire welder to a MIG. The cylinder cost me twice what I paid for the used welder in the first place, but now I have have it for future projects. I figure the money I’m saving more than paid for it anyway.
I had to take the inside door panel off to start with. This is easy if you know where all the attachment points are and where to pry, but it is a bit of a pain if you are not a pro. Here is the torn up sheet metal.
Of course, when I bent it back, the shape was all off. I tried using a hammer and dolly to beat it back in shape, but I couldn’t get it to come back out to the right shape. I gave up and decided I’d use filler to get the shape right later. I welded a piece of sheet metal behind the door to strengthen the area a bit. It was pretty floppy before I did this.
All I had on hand was white primer, so that is what I sprayed on the bare metal as the sun was going down. I installed the Jimmi’ Jammer before I reconnected the control rods. This little fitted plate adds a bit of armor to protect from this kind of break in.

Old Butch

Posted on November 26, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called ‘pullets,’ and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.

He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.

This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.

Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which
rooster was performing.

Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just
listening to the bells.

John’s favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this
morning he noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all!

When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover.

To John’s amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t
ring.

He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making.

Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention.

Vote carefully next year, the bells are not always audible.

LEMON TURKEY BREAST

Posted on November 25, 2009 by Brian Gallimore

Ingredients:

1 whole turkey
1 large lemon, cut into halves
Sprig of rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
Butter or olive oil, whichever you prefer

Heat oven to 350 degrees

Rub butter or oil over the skin of the turkey until it is completely coated

Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat;

Slide lemon halves under the skin with the peel side up. This way the juice from the lemon will coat the breast. Season skin of turkey to your preference, place sprig of rosemary into the chicken.

Cover and place in oven for 30-45 minutes. Remove cover and continue to roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the bird.

If you’ve followed these steps correctly, your turkey should look like the one in the picture.

Bon Appetit!
