Ok, it’s carnitas time! I have done this for you so you can do this on Taco Tuesday or…any other day. Got a crockpot? Then you can do this. Get a pork shoulder (boneless, still affordable), make a nice rub, and put it on top of two quartered onions and four cloves of garlic. Ready for details? 1/

IF the strike aircraft were driven out of RAF Fairford by an enemy threat, then that enemy has enjoyed more success than the Luftwaffe during the whole of the Battle of Britain.

As Europe anticipated Nazi agression, France and Great Britain turned to American manufacturers to augment what light bombers their domestic arms industries were producing. They looked at what the USAAC was looking at. Martin had a prototype, XA-22, the MARYLAND. #MartinMonday

It's National Fire Prevention Week! Ebikes, escooters, and hoverboards use lithium-ion batteries that need a little bit more care than how you treat your other batteries. Learn something and avoid a battery fire at home.
