One of my new CO2 cylinders was completely empty. I removed the seal to put it in the machine and hit the button and nothing came out. I weighed it on a kitchen scale and it was in fact empty. I’m gonna start weighing the bottles before removing the seal so I can return it. Does this happen often?
I grew up salting watermelon and apples when I ate them. Recently it occurred to me to try salting other fruit and it’s been a game changer. So far I’ve tried salt on strawberries, cantaloupe, and pineapple. It’s so good I can’t believe that this hasn’t been adopted by all of humanity! I sprinkled some on some blueberries but it wouldn’t stick and I didn’t bother halving them like I did the strawberries so I didn’t actually get to taste salted blueberry. Oh and I did try salting a banana and that wasn’t palatable to me. Go figure.
It’s got me wondering if any herbs/spices go well with fruit. Anybody tried that? I’ve seen Mexican spice that seems to be on everything these days but I didn’t like it as much as the plain fruit.
I bought an old mower with a K17 twin cylinder engine. I’ve been mowing with it and it runs great and doesn’t smoke. I changed the oil the other day and forgot to put the filler cap back on and I started it. It sounded like I had removed the muffler so I opened the hood and seen what I had done. There was a 4 inch circle of oil under the hood and lots of air blowing out of the filler tube. I went to screw the cap on and the blowby turned to a suction as soon as I got the cap on top of the filler tube. Whats going on? Can something be wrong with the crankcase breather? what else should I check?
