I thought it was perfect! But I took it back out to the grill and gave it another minute per side. Doesn't look much different to me, but she said it was perfect now. 🤔

That was 3 minutes per side.

...and Zina says it's too rare... I give up. I'm a hamburger guy anyway.

I put several heater control valves on the Ford Ranger pickup I used to have. I got one from NAPA- made in China, it leaked from the start. I got another one from O'Reilly's, made in China, leaked from the start. Went to the Ford place and got a Motorcraft part, and that finally took care of it.

I put this ribeye in that ziplock bag with some Dale's Marinade today. I was going to cook it in the cast iron skillet again, I figured since I screwed up the last two I was due to get one right, right? But Zina said "no, please don't, just cook it on the grill!" So I said "OK". I'll have a full report later.

I noticed a spot on the ground in the carport today when I backed the Zinamobile out. I turned it around in the driveway for her, but she drove it to Appomattox. Then I smelled the spot on the ground and it smelled like gasoline, so I licked one of the rocks and it tasted like gas too. It appears to be the fuel pump leaking. The fitting wasn't leaking, or the hose on the intake side, and it's just barely leaking enough to feel wet on the bottom, but I guess I'll put a fuel pump on it. I don't have much confidence in the parts you get nowadays but I'm going to get one. It's either that or just put an electric fuel pump on it and be done with it.
