Don't put Peat pots in the microwave to sterilize them.

These had been left outside for several weeks. They were damp so I thought to microwave them to help
dry them and to kill any organisms that may have taken up residence.

It may have worked too well. 6 min on high has turned them into char pots.:wall:

Really I'm not too cheap to buy more, just frugal.
Why throw them out if they are still in good shape right?


I should have just settled for a breakfast beer like @Karah :eyesmoke:

Excuse me while I clean the soot off the microwave and wall.o_O

I've never been much of a cook.

My first run in with a microwave was with my grandmother's.

It was the first one anyone in our family had used. My first burn was a twinky.
I put the twinky in, closed the door and set the dial to 2. Minutes that is.:P

I had no idea what I was doing.

If left alone in the kitchen I'll burn the Milk Shakes. :???:

Note::: only use half dose mountain dew

lol

My wife tells a story about Mt dew from when she waited tables.
She says that if someone asked for Mt Dew, that was a sign that any tip would be slim and
if they asked for ketchup for their steak too, that almost guaranteed no tip.:mad:

Quote "Fuckin Rednecks ought to stay at home if they don't want good food." lol:razz:

Dear Sir:
I am writing in response to your request for additional information in Block 3 of the accident report form. I put "poor planning" as the cause of my accident. You asked for a fuller explanation and I trust the following details will be sufficient.
I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six-story building. When I completed my work, I found that I had some bricks left over which, when weighed later were found to be slightly in excess of 500 lbs.
Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them i n a barrel by using a pulley, which was attached to the side of the building on the sixth floor.
Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the roof, swung the barrel out and loaded the bricks into it. Then I went down and untied the rope, holding it tightly to ensure a slow descent of the bricks.
You will note in Block 11 of the accident report form that I weigh 175 lbs.
Due to my surprise at being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rapid rate up the side of the building.
In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel, which was now proceeding downward at an equal, impressive speed. This explained the fractured skull, minor abrasions and the broken collar bone, as listed in section 3 of the accident report form.
Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my r ight hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley. Fortunately by this time I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope, in spite of beginning to experience a great deal of pain.
At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks hit the ground and the bottom fell out of the barrel. Now devoid of the weight of the bricks, that barrel weighed approximately 50 lbs. I refer you again to my weight.
As you can imagine, I began a rapid descent, down the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles, broken tooth and several lacerations of my legs and lower body.
Here my luck began to change slightly. The encounter with the barrel seemed to slow me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell into the pile of bricks and fortunately only three vertebrae were cracked.
I am sorry to report, however, as I l ay there on the pile of bricks, in pain, unable to move, I again lost my composure and presence of mind and let go of the rope and I lay there watching the empty barrel begin its journey back down onto me. This explains the two broken legs.
I hope this answers your inquiry
