inRant: ate out 5 times last week in Boise, then tried the $60 grocery run instead
What did the $60 haul actually include? I'm curious if it was mostly dry goods and canned stuff or if you got fresh meat and produce in there. Also, 40 minutes for 3 dinners sounds fast, were you batch cooking or just doing simple one pan meals?

inThe old boilermaker in Gary told me I was torquing my manway studs all wrong, and he was right
Took me way too long to figure out that one full pull on a 60 inch was basically me just hoping real hard and calling it torque. Doing 3 passes in a star pattern makes sense now, each pass seats things a little at a time instead of one side grabbing first and cocking the whole cover. @nguyen.blake going 4 passes on a 72 inch tracks with what I have seen, bigger the manway the more passes it seems to want. What torque values are you hitting on each pass, like 30 percent then 60 then full, or are you just feeling it out with the wrench?

inThe diner in Tulsa puts a pinch of salt in the grounds before brewing, and I can't decide if that's genius or a crime
Hold on, a pinch of salt in the grounds at a diner in Tulsa? That is wild to me. I always heard you salt the water for pasta, not your coffee, so this is a new one. The part that gets me is the two regulars swearing it kills the bitterness, because if that actually works, why is nobody doing it at home? My gut says the guy next to you might be onto something though, salt can hide a lot of bad flavors. Just seems like a weird fix for a cup of coffee either way.
