Timmah!

Hope this fixes my computer randomly crashing when playing Rust, which uses Easy AntiCheat. Thanks for info.

Slathered in Olive oil, coated in sea salt. Baked at 425°F until an internal temperature of 210°F, for a deliciously crisp skin & a perfectly fluffy interior. Butter & sour cream for one, salsa con queso for the other. I also bake my potatoes when making mashed potatoes; a much better texture & consistency without the undesirable water from boiling.

Have you ever tried Tennessee Pride Hot or Sage? It's my personal favorite, after home-ground.

Adding more fat with butter may seem counterintuitive, but even if you drain some of the sausage fat first, the butter adds a unique richness. And of course, the flour has to cook long enough to brown & lose its flour taste & contribute its own depth as it absorbs the pork & butter. The ratios I give is a good starting point. Post what you think, when you make it.

Yes, I recall you mentioning this in one our conversations a few years ago. (= I just find the flavor richer with flour in this instance. Texture seems more pleasing to me, also.

Biscuits Pound of sausage (Tennessee Pride Hot, this time) Couple tablespoons of butter ~1/3 cup flour 3 cups milk Seasoning Brown sausage, add butter & stir for a couple minutes, add flour & stir for a few minutes until browned & bubbly, slowly add milk while continuously stirring--about 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper etc...start with a pinch of each.

Spotted in the MW2 server! So, either: Welcome back, brother! or, the cheater from last week has returned.

Cut this notch in the cowl to make easier access & expedite the process. PCV valve right there & VTEC solenoid just below on back side of engine.

I firstly replaced the PCV valve; it was stuck closed & the pressure was causing oil leakage through the VTEC solenoid seal. I then replaced the leaky solenoid gasket, which stopped the oil leak, but the engine light was still illuminated & the engine would stutter at 3,500 rpm. Took it AutoZone for a free diagnostic reading to confirm it was the solenoid that was bad. Ordered a VTEC solenoid, waited a week for it to arrive, installed it in 15 minutes. Could then rev to 4,600 rpm to engage the VTEC in any gear -it's a manual gearbox- & enjoy the nice little performance boost. Saved $900 doing it myself.

Took 5 drive cycles for the on board computer & sensors to verify the issue was fixed & recalibrate settings, then turn-off the check engine light. Noticeable additional improvement after the light went out. Good times!

It is a really nice, helpful service. You can take basically all the time you need & return it to any AutoZone store when you're done. The local one here hasn't even charged me a deposit the few times I've used the service over the past 30 years.

Yup. Can go to AutoZone here & they will do the OBD2 reading, print-out the results, & explain what it means...for free. Can get a torque wrench for $20 or again, get free loaner tools to borrow from AutoZone. People don't give themselves enough credit, but rather talk themselves out of doing something they can likely accomplish, before they even try. The way I see it, & in my experience: If someone else learned how to do it, so can I.

Here's the 7 minute video I watched. Very basic steps. Surely you could do it in 3 hours, if not 30 min. Still well worth saving $330 labor.

It's not that difficult. Especially when a motherfucker starts telling me they want $750 for taking 1/2 hour to install an $80 part. Plenty of great mechanics showing the procedures step-by-step on YouTube. Subreddits dedicated to particular make & model year vehicles. Mechanic forums. Chat gpt. $750 is more than enough motivation to take a day off work to learn & do it myself. In this case it was a 7 minute YouTube video & 1/2 hour to do the job. Same with the PCV valve I replaced the day before that. They wanted $250 to take 15 minutes to replace a $10 part. Literally as simple as removing a hose, spinning the old part out with a deep-well socket- just like you would a spark plug- & replacing it with the new part. Oh, & a 30 cent crush washer if you want to be extra super careful. $1,000 dollars for $90 worth of parts & 45 minutes of work. Fuck that noise.
