Plymouthy Adams Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 to finally try out the cake and bun warmer I bought at surplus sale for 5.00 a few years back to use a small parts oven. I need to get some paint on these wheels a bit faster than I usually ever worry about so this evening after sandblasting and priming these wheels I placed them in the cabinet sort of staggered front to rear, set the temp to 135 degrees and the shut off timer for 4 hours. Nice steady even heat and gentle air circulator..even has a humidity control that I can add water and set the relative humidity to what I want it to be also..I have the humidifier turned off.. Quote
greg g Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 plus the next time you have a gathering you can keep your beans warm.... Watch connecting them to a over long extension, they like to be close to the outlet especially when you run the humidifier. Quote
PatS.... Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 Kinda hard to stick a toothpick in those to see if they are done, though! Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 I just went out a few minutes ago..the timer is off..the wheels were still at some 130 degrees and cooling now..that primer laid down super nice...I have been meaning to put this cabinet into opertion for a long time..finally had a need tonight as I have to get some rubber back on these wheels, balance them and get them back on the car this weekend.. I had to modify my wheels...they would not even fit my tire changer earlier, not even close to fitting my balancer..so I built a jig and done a bit of home grown machine work here in my shop..they are now 2 1/4 openings and when put back on the balancer..are still in balance..what luck..even have some super nice 2 1/4 inserts that snap right into the larger holes..it was a good day for sure..

Don Coatney Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 I see/smell some armadillo jerkey coming out of that oven at a color of your choice. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 what a marvel idea Don, taking orders now..do you want yours left on the half shell.. Quote
Andydodge Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 I suppose armadillo jerkey would be a little like echidna pie..........place echidna in a pie crust with a rock and bake for an hour........after an hour remove the echidna & eat the rock pie.........lol.......and where do you get your echidna?.........why from the centre of any good 4 lane highway, best ones are those that have been tenderised by cars & trucks for a least a day.......... andyd Quote
Don Coatney Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 Yesterday I spotted the first armadillo road kill I have seen in Tennessee. This was less than a mile from my home. Per a google search it has taken 150 years for them to migrate up here from Texas. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 Maybe opportunities for armadillos in Texas are on the decline. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Posted June 9, 2011 I think they are looking for a cooler climate Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 You should be hearing the rumble strips about now. This thread is about to go dangerous places. Quote
Don Coatney Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 You should be hearing the rumble strips about now. This thread is about to go dangerous places. It has already gone where no armidillo has gone before to seek out new life, etc. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Posted June 9, 2011 wait until one moves in with you..tell me then how you like them...and the answer is not "fried" Quote
T120 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 ..I suppose if some marketing genius came up with a tasty snack food recipe for armadillo,they could join the endangered species list Quote
Don Coatney Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 wait until one moves in with you..tell me then how you like them...and the answer is not "fried" Then the answer must be in nylons:D Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Posted June 9, 2011 Don, I guess it's true what they say.....it's only kinky the first time.. Quote
Alshere59 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Yesterday I spotted the first armadillo road kill I have seen in Tennessee. This was less than a mile from my home. Per a google search it has taken 150 years for them to migrate up here from Texas. I wonder if they would have made it there faster if people didn't run over them? The first mass produced vehicle was 1906 with the model T, maybe its just a coincidence. Edited June 10, 2011 by Alshere59 fixed year Quote
TodFitch Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 I wonder if they would have made it there faster if people didn't run over them? The first mass produced vehicle was 1806 with the model T, maybe its just a coincidence. 1806? Henry Ford was born in 1863 so he would have been minus 53 when that happened. Not sure that the Model T Ford in 1908/1909 was the first mass produced car nor even the first one built on a moving production line. But by 1920 or so it was certainly being produced at a huge rate.
