Thanks! I've had my eye set on US 191, the Devil's Highway, for some time now, but the last two attempts were busts.

I do have a two-week vacay coming in August and I'll be in Wyoming for half of that and driving wherever for the other half, so I might leave the West for then and concentrate more on what's east of the Mississippi River.

For your general fund of knowledge there are around 151 National Scenic Byways in 'Murica and I've driven over half of them... looking to crush the rest of the list in the next two or three years.

Haven't taken the Z out for a multi-day trip since last November. I had to cut that short on Day 1 when a truck spit a rock into my windshield in the Texas panhandle, and as the sun rose I had the unnerving experience of watching the crack grow as I drove...
Talk to EW if you want someone to tag along with their Z to CO.

It’s lots of fun....

Feels weird being home this early
Definitely can tell I’ve been resting better; as these 100* days haven’t bothered me as much this week

You playing mad doctor with your pizza? 7 is neutral, 2 is acid, 10 is base or caustic. Sauces can be low as 3 ph. I image you want you dough to counter act the sauce. Is that what you are after? How are you measuring your pH?

Using a basic pH meter with a probe attachment. It's sitting at 5.5ph right now. Tried to get it around the range of sourdough to counteract the sweetness from the sauce since I made a putanesca varient. So it's on the sweet side. I wanted the dough to be on the acidic side to balance out the sweetness of the sauce and fattiness of the Prosciutto being layered on top. Settled on low moisture mozzarella as a base cheese.

Once the sweetness is in. It's in. Did you use sugar in your sauce? If so, next time try a little baking soda to taste or throw in a diced carrot when cooking your sauce. With the carrot. You can remove it after cooking. Couple pieces of chocolate will kill some acid too.

I'm trying to download the Ecutek software on my new laptop but I can only install verified apps from the Microsoft Store because it's in S Mode. Anyone know how to get out of S Mode? I tried following the Microsoft instructions but it just took me to the Microsoft Store and tells me I can't switch out of S Mode on this version of Microsoft Store.

I'm about ready to take the laptop back to Best Buy and shove it up their azz.
