    So this week Mrs.O. did make us Beef on weck or in our case venison on weck and man was it awesome! I retained water for two days after that sodium uptake haha If you want to know what they are or how they are made check this out ---> ua-cam.com/video/nL2lxXhVIRk/v-deo.html What are your thoughts?

      Here in Canada we call that a Beef Dip, though ours uses a hoagie bun. I imagine the taste is quite similar. By that I mean the salt! HaHaHa!

    I am from Western part of Germany: Just to let Mrs O know that you find numerous regional names for buns/sandwich in Germany, which sound totally different such as "Brötchen", "Semmel" or "Schrippe". Coming back to your question: there is a "Wecken" or "Weckle" in the very South-West of Germany, and I guess that the immigrant who brought this to NY state is from that region. You're right: they usually put salt and ten ("Kümmel") on it. Of course it is not only name that's different but taste, shape ... It is a craft in German to make bread and buns every day fresh. Tough job. They get up at 3.00 a.m. every day.

  • @JeffreyGroves
    @JeffreyGroves Рік тому +12

    I think this was an excellent video. For we who have watched your brake job videos in the past, we know what you''re doing, but this time you're doing everything with almost pure muscle memory since you're distracted with the menu discussion. The muscle memory displayed as you grease and loctite the parts of the breaks shows subtle technique nuances we don't usually see when you're actively demonstrating a process.
    Most specifically, the way that you applied and spread out the loctite on the bolts this time was more instructive to me than in your other videos. Instead of thinking about how you do it, you were just doing it.
    Sometimes just being able to watch an expert do something is more instructive than any explanation they might provide.

    I grew up on the outskirts of Buffalo so I have been involved with Weck for 60 yrs. Weck is a hard roll ( crusty outside, soft inside)baked with large grain salt. piled high with tender beef dipped in liquid made of the cooking juices and fortified with " Gravy Maker". I worked in a restaurant when I was a kid so I know a few secrets. Experienced beefers never put cheese on it. Ground horseradish is the best. Not that creamy sauce style. Kids like catsup. some like it wet with the roll dipped also. The new version of weck is with caraway seeds in top of the roll. Not my choice. They are cheap with the beef now-a-days. I have 2 favorite channels that I watch and yours is one of them. Keep it up!

Lastly, the salt on that car. It's so bad now on the cars and on the roads. With the bitter cold this weekend and low humidity, there is no moisture in the salt and it looks everything has been painted white.

      @Trey Cook you can always turn the comments off. But not sure as to why anyone would give her rude comments. But then again, it is humanity and I really have no faith in it anymore.

      @@bearing_aficionado Most of the comments are fine; wholesome and even helpful. Comments help drive traffic to the video and channel, so turning them off would suck. I know you know all that. I just hate that some people have to comment those types of things. We all know she's pretty, but she shouldn't have to be concerned about what she wears to work, ya know?

      @Jay Judd yeah I remember he did that, I was going to watch that but completely forgot about it. In fact I was looking into that barrel he was using and they sell it at Home Depot. But I wasn't going to spend that kind of money on it.

    Always interesting to see brake jobs :) Do you ever need to re-adjust the parking brake cable or mechanism if you replace rotors and pads? This car seems to have similar rear disc brakes than my '16 Kia Rio Hatchback, parking brake mechanism integrated to the caliper / piston, so I'm just curious.

    • @mattmanyam
      @mattmanyam Рік тому +1

      That what winding back the piston usually does.

      @@mattmanyam Yes, but saw some service info about Kia Rio rear brakes, which talked about re-adjusting the parking brake cable after replacing for example rear brake discs. There was stated that there should be max 1,5mm gap between parking brake lever and stopper at the caliper end.
      So this made me curious about if this is usually necessary or not.

      It's very rare that you need to adjust the cable on this type of parking brake. You just check that it moves and returns freely, and that it returns fully to the stop. All the adjustment is taken care of by the internal mechanism, which is what you are resetting when you wind the piston in.

    In my younger days I worked at a local 76 Union Station that did about the same amount of work as you sans welding. As far as the availability of any sort of gourmet food was concerned, considering we stirred our coffee with screwdrivers, I think that says it all....For Lunch we were lucky if we got a decent ham sandwich off a passing roach coach. I'm in total agreement with you on staying right with the Lord!! Carry on you all, it will pay significant dividends down the road.
