Thrift Store Finds!

[ponchonlefty]

Thats what sux 'bout the thrif-toes. you gotta go all the time to get really good stuff. Being "Retired" helps me a bit. Being in a rather small area (about 80,000-ish for IF & Ammon ID) might help??? IDK, I found good stuff back in CA too. I guess you gots to be lucky.

area has a lot to do with it. here things are not as fruitful. i think
sellers are hunting for deals. i don't have a problem with that.
first come first served. its still cool to go hunt.

They have so many varieties of the VR these days.

im thinking something with lime flavor.

These days, I don't even know anymore.
I've stopped trying them all.
But, if there is a lime one, I'd go for chicken street tacos.

my thinking too. or beef. i believe it might be good.
i guess beer and lime juice will work. just pondering
different ways to get there.

Alcohol is good for braking down tough meat, but you don't know what is tough until you cook it.

Wisdom from the Andyman.

I'd be leery of using a hoppy beer like Voodoo Ranger for marinating food, we used a similar "juicy" IPA for corned beef and cabbage this year and it was weird how much the hops leached into the cabbage.

If you're just doing chicken or something, that would probably be okay, or else I've used beers in sauces - barbecue sauce is always a good choice, or any number of Caribbean style jerk or mojo sauces to incorporate beer into.

Bud light lime has a good lime flavor.

Bud light lime has a good lime flavor.

i have used bud before,sounds perfect.
maybe poured over while grilling?
or just 30 min marinade. added to the sauce
is a good idea too. it's about that time.

at least i have a grill to use. today is nice
but the pollen is rough.

I usually pour it over my tonsils while grilling. I suppose technically my tonsils are meat.

Some cool finds today.
1 A whole (mostly) pkg. of drywall anchors for $2

2 Plastic container with a bunch of misc. hardware for $5 (what pack rat can pass that up )

 

[Andyman]

and a horn for $2 for my motorcycle. The old one fell off on a road trip. I pulled over because "I felt something", walked back about 30-40 yards, saw something in the street & got there just in time to watch it get run over by a truck. It still works kinda-sorta, but with a low volume.

a new horn for that bike would be pricey. use loc tite.

Do you know if a horn is polarity sensitive? I haven't checked yet, but am anticipating having to change the connector.
But you never know, I might luck out and it might have the same connector.

most i have seen grounded on the body with one connection.
you have two? ground the horn and test the connections.

this is a plastic horn, i see your problem. look for a positive symbol
at the connector. or test with a battery.

I'd be surprised if it matters. It's basically a speaker, right? There's nothing to wire it out of phase with (unless you have two horns).

i think it only works one way. on and off. been way too long
ago. most times it was the correct horn when i replaced it.
things just plug n play.

Once it warms up a bit, I'll figure it out. It's fairly easy to get to with the battery cover off. (and there is only one)
