    I don't answer about 10 calls a day from numbers not already in my phone. Some calls trying to sell me healthcare, home owners insurance, sell my home, free roof inspection, etc. I just never answer anymore cause it's never anything useful.

    F150 is over $100 if memory serves. F550 oil and air filters being north of 600 isn't surprising

    You're in Austin right? Check out AC Repair & Plumbing in Round Rock - Cool Kids. I had then come out once to replace my fan motor. He tested everything and said my capacitor wasn't wired correctly and only charged me 80 bucks for coming out.

    Butter on steak is pretty common in restaurants, Pan or grilled You're right about too much oil fat in sous vide though. That much can coat the tongue and prevent you from tasting anything. Like Homer at that chili contest But pesto is also a lot of strong flavors, and it's folded into plain...
