Lol do not try to stir fry in an air fryer

Works ok if you don't put it too long, but I probably should cook the chicken longer then add everything else in it. I was trying to see if I can cook it in there with everything at same time. I like that I can just throw everything in and don't have to babysit it. First batch I put it for half an hour, this one I put for 40 and that was bad. I should do chicken on it's own for 10-15 then put the rest for another 15.

I should have gotten the bigger model though, one session only really does 2 meals worth. Would be nice to be able to do bigger batches.

Doing the rear brakes this weekend. There was a grinding in the right rear. New rotors, pads and hardware.

Also, bought new drive axles. Never done that job myself. Ordered some tools that I needed to do the job.

I just realized I don't actually remember putting those stir fry batches in the freezer before I left. :/ I may have done all that work for nothing since if I forgot to put it in the freezer then I'll have to throw it all out. I really hope I did actually put it in. I'll find out in an hour from now when I get home.

Err, different food require different cook time.

Dryer tensioner wheel and belt replaced. It is working but since it is not square when I put it back together, I cannot put on the last cover bolt.

Obviously. I just ended up putting it too long. Now I know 30 minutes max and just put the chicken 10 minutes before. Really can probably get away with like 20 minutes for the chicken then add the veggies at 20 minute mark. Once I get it down path I'll make ton of these so I can meal prep. It's easier to do a bunch at once while everything is dirty and then have a bunch of meals.

Oh and thankfully I did put everything in the freezer before I left yesterday, I left fast since 6:45 creeped up on me very fast so I felt like I forgot to do something.

About 3 1/2 hours later....

I thought maybe the pads were starting to get low on the rear passenger side. Yeah.... that's the ticket!

New pad side by side with the old one. I wonder if that has something to do with the grinding noise I was hearing.

The wear on the old rotor. Got genuine Toyota rotors this time.

Did the driver's side as well. Here's the old rotor and pads. The wear was not much compared to the right side.

Aaaand the new rotor and pads on the driver's side.

Fixed the cover bolt problem cuz had to take the dryer apart again since I left a socket extension in it.

Reassemble, now cover is on more or less right, except I have a spare screw... Oh well.
