Similar, Sacrificial anode needs to be better. I use four sections of grader blade sections. Should do many, many pieces. Getting some big pits in them now. Here is my set up. I went big. Can hang some big stuff in there. This three notch lodge #4 is the last thing I have to do. It has been in there for a few days. The crap on it was thick and like concrete. Checked it out and took a putty knife and scooped the loose stuff off of it. Then back in. I did post a link on good info for cast pieces. Explanation of how to clean and restore too. http://www.castironcollector.com/ A couple other ones. https://castironcommunity.com/electrolysis-tank http://www.tothewoods.net/CastIron-Cookware-Restored-Electrolysis.php

I agree fully. Our outgoing payments is much less. Good thing / bad thing. This will get worse before better.

Another restoration and its first meal. A Wagner arc logo circa 1898 - 1915 #10. My goodness this is a beautiful thing. Can you imagine the stories it could tell. No telling how long it has even been since its last meal. Found in a flea market among other skillets. Crud and carbon coating it all over. Could read the logo. I knew it was a good one and made a call to a friend. He said buy it and if you don't want it I do. Home it went and right into the E-Tank. It began to fizzle and as I checked off and on the crud began to release. Into the house sink where a SOS pad cleaned to bare iron. Soap and water next then into the oven to dry. Then heated up slowly to 370 when the seasoning layers were applied. I am really happy, So what do we cook today? I was out of langoustines or shrimp and wanted scampi. Well fresh crappie will have to do. Crappie Scampi that will work. Some butter and olive oil placed into the skillet then the fillets in one layer covered the bottom. A bit of minced garlic next, some S&P, oregano and out to the garden I grabbed a handful of garlic chives. Kitchen shears cut the bundle in little pieces all over the fish. Into a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. As this was going some of this mornings found morels were being fried and salad making too. Off went the timer. A layer of breadcrumbs sprinkled on top and back in under the broiler to toast the top. After dinner I wiped out the skillet, put a little warm water in it. Took a small handled nylon brush and whirled it around. Rinsed skillet, wiped it and dried it on a low burner. Its ready to go again. My thanks to the foundry workers for making it.

I bet! I am using latex gloves at the gas station too. I feel for everyone but especially the health care workers such as my Mrs. It makes me sick when she leaves for work.

Hit four patches. Found some in all places. One produced well and other three just a few. Tally for looking 80 right on the nose. One place had some of the big yellows. Generally it means towards the end to a patch. Man I hope not. I have found giants there during the first part of May and that is a ways off. Strange year for sure. These two were not using social distancing. Not staged found them face to face,

Don't you be bashing my skillets. I take that pretty personal. Got another one done and it a goodie!

Me three I will find an empty isle and if I have to pace back and forth looking for one I do. Still not positive in our county. The Mrs. said several tests out of the clinic she works in. So fal all negative results.

Do you all find yourself holding your breath walking by people? Hey I do. Only wish I could hold it as I go into the store and exhale when I get to me truck in parking lot! 🤪

Hey looks good to me Randy. Tell them all well done. I would wear one if they were available. Just seen a deal where the HVAC filter stuff works by wrapping it on the standard cloth filter. Going to town for some things you just have to do. I am beginning to cringe and get kind of anxious when I do. Also spraying masks with a ten percent bleach solution let dry and reuse.

Yea! What a great attitude. You have done it once do it again. I bow to you as I did my wife when she had her battle.

You said you are going back and forth on this correct? So what is your stand? Crock of bull? Two of these guys I have told them what I thought of what they said. Come on Glen what is your call on this?

Yes if it hits in rural America we will be in deep crap. You neighbor is part of the problem.

We are talking here and now Glen. Are you riding the fence waiting to see how this plays out and then making a decision? Make the decision now. Do you pay attention to what is going on now? I'm going to quote you. "I mean c'mon" Are you ready to make the call? Would you leave the cruse ship looking for a port to let you in as people are dying on said ship? Don't stick your head in the sand and ignore this. Have you checked this daily? Watching this progress? https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fcases-in-us.html Some of us are very lucky to be rural. Because it isn't happening in our neighborhood doesn't mean it isn't happening.

That pin cushion is the virus voodoo representation. More pins please Mrs. N9BOW kill that bad boy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea old hairy rotten stinking ones at that. Buck teeth to boot!

There are many still out there who call this noting but a hoax a sham and a lie!

fear the beard!!!!!!!!!!

We need a smile, https://freenews.live/most-often-european-neanderthals-ate-fish-and-seals-it-developed-their-brain/ I think more of these guys scavenged dead or dying fish and game. Maybe jump on a live one once and awhile. Some of these Neanderthals are still among us. Still feeding on dead and near dead fish on stringers and buckets of warm water. Toted from the river, drug in the mud and dirt. Bleached out fish with white gills. I have seen it ! Bigfoot too. You can witness this event by going to your nearest river during the white bass and crappie run.

Thanks Jeff! I put them right where the Mrs. told me to. Even got to place the cherries . I know I have a sticky skillet to clean.

Finished another skillet. Bought a 12 to be restored. Got it done. It is an unmarked Wagner pre 60. It has a bit of a dip or belly. Very little it will spin. One of my tens of that brand does also. It is the nature of the beast. Still cooks and bakes fine. As I collect these will be replaced. Matter of a fact I have a arc 10 Wagner with heat ring in e-tank now to replace the other ten. So to christen in this 12 a pineapple upside down cake was made. Ummmm I think that is my favorite cake. Like new. The cake and yes I ate a big warm piece . .

Nope but I know it now!

Thanks my friend!

The Morels? If so thanks. Mrs. Went back and found three more. Little dudes. One we had stepped on.

You are a good man. This is the one that has been kept alive since the civil war correct? .

If she won't take care of your dogs I will. Wait a minute I have skunks around here.
