| CanopyCo <Junk74020@aol.com>: Feb 13 06:37AM -0800 I don't buy the ones that have that warning. Last thing I need is a tire bomb. ;-) Most of the ones that they still sell here in a can has the other safer propellant. If you spray it in it inflates the tire and seals the hole if you drive as soon as you spray it. If possible, put the hole down in the first place so that it runs right to it. Otherwise you have to rotate the tire to get the gunk over the hole. Always drive after putting any of that stuff in so that it spreads evenly over the tire and seals all leaks. It dries into a clear plastic film that can easily be peeled off when you do a regular repair. Get another hole in that tire and you need another can. I usually use the green slime sort of sealer that stays liquid. If the hole is big enough, I plug if first, the put in the slime. That seals it and will also seal new holes as they show up. The green slime type is a problem if you plan to have the tire patched later though. It is pretty hard to get all of it out of the way so that the patch will stick. On the other hand, if the plug didn't patch it then I do the road hazard warranty and get another tire, as the damage is big enough that a patch won't do that good anyway. The reason that tire repair shops are death on the stuff is twofold. First because the old stuff was a health hazard with it exploding. Second, and now days the main reason, is that it cuts into their repair business. Repairs is a big part of their business. |

I use more jars or similar containers, eg saved sour cream containers > that bags. I have an extra freezer in my basement for storage. I just freeze the entire thing myself. When I'm buying the food I try to get it packaged in small enough sizes that I can use the entire thing before it goes bad. Often I will find a 10 lb sale on loins someplace and take their add to wall-mart and they will give me the smaller loins at the same price per lb. With the chicken breast, I eat them as my main meat so they go pretty fast. Good idea cooking it before storing it. That makes you some easy thaw and serve meals. I do a little of that but most of my recipes don't freeze well. The ones that do, however, do make for a easer life when I'm hungry and in a hurry. Have you seen these? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-16pc-Food-Storage-Set/19528937 I use them for my cheese and such. They are pretty good about staying shut and air tight. A little expensive, but so far they have lasted well. I even used them to keep my cell phone and some other gear dry during a float trip. One that I used before I found the one above is the Glad ones. Zip lock has one real simulate but I didn't like them as well. They tended to not stay closed as well as the Glad ones did. > > I was about to abandon this group until I see your post. > > Thanks again for stating your opinion. > Happy to oblige. Sounds like we do very similar things. Yes, look that way. Not surprising though. When people are all aimed at the same target (frugal) they tend to find the same things that work. Pitty that there is not more traffic here. The subject is one that many need information on with the economy being what it is now days. |
