Turns out the Air Fryer I bought on Ebay was a fraud. Ebay notified my this morning they have closed the Seller's account. If I do n not receive anything in a few weeks, I should open a dispute resolution and claim a refund. My experience with PayPal is they take many weeks to refund money. Then they do not give the money back but credit the account for future purchases.
Oh, well. It as a nice idea while it lasted. I guess I am not supposed to have an Air Fryer. LOL!
This is why I hate to shop on line anywhere but Amazon. Every time I try a different seller on line there is a problem with the product or delivery which I have to untangle.

Got home from vacation late last night. Found the Bradford Pear tree in my backyard had bloomed. There are many in my neighborhood and they are all blooming more profusely than any year before. Does that signal a potentially great harvest this year?...more blooms, more fruit? I have never grown much except toe corns.

Keep an eye out, I'm sure you can find one.

I cut them in small cubes, put them in the basket, sprayed with some olive oil, and gave them 4 minutes at 400°. Bowled and tossed them, with a pat of butter, salt, and non-sugar sweetener. Delicious. Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it! 👍

I even have a pet turnip from last season's garden growing in a jar of water. Needs hydroponic feeding. I would to try your recipe with rutabagas and potatoes- "Swedes and Tatties".

Spent much of the day getting my 12 year old lawn tractor running again. It needed the transmission drive belt replaced. I replaced it the first time it broke years ago and said never again. It was an ordeal.
But recently I watched some YouTube videos and learned the secrets to replacing it. It went pretty quick and smooth - except for ripping some skin off a couple knuckles.
Now I can put it on Craigslist and get rid of it. It's been a good machine - and still looks like a fairly new tractor.

The YouTube videos are gold when properly done.
Working on a car interior knowing where and how to release clips make all the difference between success and failure. The wife’s car had a window motor go out, had the YT video not been available, it would have been a problematic repair.

Not a very pleasant day here. Never made 50° and was dreary and overcast. The ground is still wet from our "blizzard" and they are calling for more snow early next week. More duds, I hope. No run for the dogs y'day or today and Eli is really showing the need for one. T'row is supposed to be in the mid 60s so they'll get one, maybe a nice long one up and down the creek. I could use one, too. I'm hoping Father Winter gives up soon and trudges off to Lapland or Tierra del Fuego or wherever he goes when he's not harassing us here in the Sandhills. I shouldn't complain, though. 100°+ will be here soon enough

Snowed all day. Light snow, wet. Warm enough to melt some of the accumulation. Cold now. Woodstove blazing with wet wood.. That was a struggle!

The wife’s car had a window motor go out, had the YT video not been available, it would have been a problematic repair. Yeah, I need to look at and probably replace a speaker in my trucks passenger door. Have to remove the entire interior panel of the door. Not sure I want to try it.

You cant really just replace just one speaker it will sound wonkey. I am positive you can replace remove and replace the door panels for confidence just drive by the stereo shop and take one look at the clown doing it there. 61 today in the gulf coast a pure joy of not cold and not hot.
