shame on an IGA posted:Also ok, Honda GX engines I have nothing but love for. ~10-12 years ago I worked at a small plant that built farm pumps on those and bench tested close to 3,000 units in my time there, every single one started on the first pull. Those are God's own small powerplant. I love Honda power tools because I like the dopamine hit of thinking my mower shares a lineage with race cars, high performance motorcycles, Civics Type R, Super Cubs, and so forth (HondaJet?) Renegret posted:My mower has a honda engine. It's older than me, is horribly maintained, and every part of it is falling apart but the motor still purrs like a kitten. We put a new blade on it last year and it eats through my overgrown yard as well as can be expected. Honda-powered mowers, etc will always fail somewhere else before the motor does IME.

My 15 year old Toro has a B&S motor and I have abused the poo poo out of that thing and it still starts first pull every time and I kind of want it to die to get an electric, laff.

priznat posted:Thinkin bout getting into battery powered yard tools, how are the Greenworks ones that costco sells online? Probably will start out with a chainsaw because I don’t have one already but as I expand I would eventually want to replace my gas mower (which frankly will not die out of spite I think) For battery powered, it's probably worth upgrading to a bigger brand of you can afford it. We use the whole line of Stihl battery equipment where I work and I love that drat chainsaw. You aren't gonna cut anything huge with it, but if you are limbing and what not, it's great. We use the hedgers, weed eaters, and mowers too, and really like them. Worth upgrading to the larger batteries if you have a lot of work to do though. And the difference between stuff from even two years ago and now is crazy, way more power and better batteries. For real saw talk though: if you need bigger cuts done, plug in is better (Makita and Worx both do a good one) gas is best, and if you aren't going to cut a lot, just rent or borrow one.

Stopped in my local Co yesterday for a few things, to stock up on some food goods since the wife and I are trying to food prep better. Grabbed some chicken meatballs, the tikka masala, some chicken strips and a marinated flank steak that we had for dinner last night which was pretty delicious. Ended up with all that, some coffee, seltzer, collagen (wife loves the Vital Proteins stuff), sea salt caramels, a 27" monitor and almost bought a home security system. Holy poo poo I love that dangerous store.

Does anyone get into Cara Cara oranges? They are a pink fleshed orange. I used to work with a lady who would get so excited about them and announce whenever they were in season. Maybe they aren't rare in other places. Anyway, my Co had pallets full today.

For anyone who likes wine, the Barolo and Châteauneuf-du-Pape are back, if this year's are anywhere near as good as previous it's a hell of a deal.

What would be the recommended tequila of choice at Costco if we're only making margaritas with it? Hopefully around the $25-35 mark. I really don't want to buy a premix bottle at the request of my s.o.

Geodude posted:What would be the recommended tequila of choice at Costco if we're only making margaritas with it? Any basic 100% agave tequila is fine for mixing, like a Kirkland Signature Silver tequila. Anything more expensive will be lost in the mix. Whether or not you go Reposado or Anejo is up to you, but most would use a Blanco for margaritas.

Did Costco get rid of the Kirkland margarita mix? Tried to find some this week with no luck.FogHelmut posted:Any basic 100% agave tequila is fine for mixing, like a Kirkland Signature Silver tequila. Anything more expensive will be lost in the mix. Whether or not you go Reposado or Anejo is up to you, but most would use a Blanco for margaritas. Speaking of their margarita mix, on a family vacation we tested this theory with a bunch of different tequilias up to Patron Gold in a blind taste test and it was very apparent which ones had the best tequila. So I disagree that you won't notice the tequila for margaritas. Solvency fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Apr 28, 2021 |

Añejo would be a waste. Since the subtle flavors would get lost. Get cointreau or grand marnier and then just add lime juice and your margs will be heavenly. I also like patron's citron for a triple sec replacement.

Finally found my drat coffee! 23 miles from my local Costco, needed some Costco gas anyways where my local one does not sell gas. A whopping 4.09/gallon for premium here in CA... whoof. I got 4 cases though so worth it!

I do find it ironic that California takes a lot of flak for being a nanny state but buying booze here is a breeze. When I was bartending i’d hear all these crazy stories about people in states like Pennsylvania where beer has to be bought in beer only stores and liquor and wine is a separate ABC controlled store. Definitely not in supermarkets or convenience stores, and honestly a lot of it makes 0 sense and it’s some holdover from the prohibition days. Also Patron is really good as a shot I think wince it’ks nice and clean. A really good mixing tequila for the price is Espolon. Just do yourself a favor and only.buy tequila that is 100% agave. I got spoiled on Margaritas made with fresh lime and agave syrup instead of using mix. infraboy fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Apr 28, 2021 |

A Pack of Kobolds posted:Texas loving hates freedom. Yeah I recently learned that Texas doesn't allow publicly traded companies to sell liquor but even if THAT somehow got overturned, Costco still couldn't sell liquor in Texas. Texas law also states that if your store is opened before 10AM, closes after 9PM, or does ANY business on Sundays (even employees working, not open to customers) you can't sell liquor. So yes, Texas loving hates freedom
