Says "fiery hot", 3/3 hotness.
It has good flavor , but what a disappointment in the heat claim - as if their 3/3 is my 1/10.
It is nicely garlicky though (15%), it won't go to waste.

Thought I'd give something new a try.
This one won't make the cut for future purchases.

Never tried curry paste- only powder

Try it if You can get it.
Powdered peppers need hot food to activate, pastes and sauces do not.
Or at least that is how I perceive it.

The best is biting into a fresh pepper though.
Whether it be a lowly Green Surtsey, a Red Thai Chilly, a Orange Habanero, or YES a Carolina Reaper.
You just never know what to expect, and surprises are regular.
Orange Surtsey and Yellow Thai Chilly gave me a pleasant surprise.
Although a local/Yugoslavian old-school pepper that I grew from seeds myself shocked me and had me running for my shop and take a huge gulp of sunflower oil to reduce the heat. That plant must have cross bread with any of the other peppers I had plants of because the fresh peppers I salvaged the seeds from months prior weren't that hot.

The hunt for the buzz! :thumbsup:

Grabbed 6 more gallons of bar oil @$7 ea. and 6 40# bags of 12-12-12 for $15 ea.

2.5 gal of glyphosate for 50, and multiple 5qt jugs of (motor oil) various weights for 13 ea.

get while the gettins good.
$50 for 2.5 gallon of glyphosate is very good. It is $60 a jug here right now. A 30 gallon drum is $550. It was about $430 earlier this Spring. I used to get 30 gallon for $330 then the price skyrocketed to over $900. Damn 2-4-D is crazy.

Think i bought the last graduation card for my generations kids. Next generation coming fast.
I wish schools would stop having graduations over Memorial Day weekend. I realize they do it for folks out of town but I still do not like it. I graduated at 8PM on a Friday .....twice.

Walking the dog, when I see a neighbor, about 2 blocks down, rolling this to the curb.

‘What’cha doing with your bandsaw?’ I ask.

‘It’s free, if you want it’, he says.

Says that it works. But he’s got another bandsaw (a Grizzly,that I could see in the garage), and he’s doing some ‘pre-estate sale cleaning’ of some family stuff.

Didn’t want to go to the effort of cleaning it up, posting it, and waiting for people to show up, for the limited amount he would get for it.

Not a very good bandsaw to start with, and not in great condition. But the price was good.

Rolled it home 2 blocks, on a dolly (not worth trying to fit it in my car).

I have a good, small, bandsaw in my basement. This will either become my ‘metal cutting / garage’ bandsaw, or I may just pull the 3/4 HP motor (if it works).

Lived this close for 38 years (!); walk my dog past his house several times per week; but first time I met him!

I purchased them last week off eBay, two different sellers.
They came in a couple days apart this week/today.
Aftermarket mower blades for my 6HP self propelled walk behind mower.
One blade is a direct copy of the OEM, the other took a different approach.
Curious to see how they perform, I know a new OEM is awesome.

Honestly couldn't imagine going back to a single 19 inch monitor (or whatever the standard was in the 2000s). I had a job running 20 different apps simultaneously on one right out of highschool. Gives me a headache thinking about it.
