Carl's Jr and Hardees are one company but they each have a couple menu items that the other doesn't offer.  One of these is the steak and egg burrito at Carl's.  It's really good for a fast food chain.  Steak, eggs, cheese and fresh veggies. The fresh chilies, tomato, and onion really make this burrito tasty. It's very mildly spicy.
Anyway, if you find your way out west where the Carl's Jr operates, it's worth a try.

The grocery store had copper river sockeye filets for $10/ lb. the steelhead and farm raised atlantic salmon were $15/lb. They're ok, but not as good as reds or kings. As far as copper river, I really don't see a difference between that and other rivers in Alaska.  Reds are my second favorite salmon, but I prefer kings as they have more fat on them.
Anyway, this red has enough fat that it started to soak into the paper wrap after four hours in the refrigerator until I put it in a couple of ziplock bags for the freezer. I've never seen a red that oily before.  I'll be finishing my szechuan chicken and fried rice leftovers tonight but planning on salmon with cream peas and new potatoes for tomorrow.

I found a recipe for tub and shower cleaner on the web and tried it.
Equal parts distilled vinegar and blue dawn dish soap.  Heat the vinegar to help the dawn dissolve in it.  Spray on and let it sit 30 minutes then rinse it off.
I dozed off and let it sit 45 minutes and it took a lot of rinsing to get it off.  I'd suggest wiping while rinsing.
Anyway, it got rid of the mineral deposits and soap scum better than any commercial product I've tried as well as cheaper than scrubbing bubbles. I've since seen recipes that were 75/25 vinegar/soap but I only tried 50/50 so far.
Edit to add:
I used 2 cups of cleaner for a small rv shower. Normal showers would take more.

[GOA News] Concealed carry only for cops?

David Chipman Gets Ability to Carry Nationwide, but You Don’t? Last week, GOA alerted you to HR 354—a LEOSA reform act that would grant concealed carry privileges ONLY to off-duty and retired police officers. I’m very grateful for the multiple thousands of messages that have been sent to Representatives’ offices. Because that bill will be coming up for a vote …<br/> <a class="postReadMore" href="https://www.gunowners.org/na051424/">Read more<i class="fa fa-angle-double-right"></i></a>
