My favorite love to hate commercials are those homeowners turning into their parents ones. First couple were fresh and sort of funny. Now they are just belaboring the point when there's no material left.

Shocked to see and learn a Mister Car Wash popped off half of a rear bumper on a Nissan today.

All of this sudden death talk has got me rethinking my earlier post to @NWICY telling him to not buy life insurance. I now think he should but with the RTT gang as the beneficiaries! We could promise to throw him a hell of a Cyclone Frantic wake and hot tub party at KC's. Gonna be a BIG wake but we can put what's left in a college fund for Z and maybe still have enough for the rest of us to go to Mexico and party some more. All in favor?

Assuming the forthcoming unanimous approval, I nominate @cowgirl836 as the policy executor for NWICY. She's young and smart with mad spreadsheet skills so would do a great job. Plus she'd smack down @wxman1 and his likely request to buy a RTT airplane. Request denied!
But @wxman1 would totally be the one to fly us down to Mexico.

Wow had a good day at work finished things up by 1 took care of some other stuff and was only 15 miles from home when the rain started. I was surprised when I went to pull the driveway vehicle into the garage it was actually icing up. The one that I had driven was fine. Welp here is hoping the power stays on.

Wait is there video of this? I'm a little lost how that could happen.

Me too. No video happened to the car in front me at the wash today. Didn't look out of place going in but afterword it was half off the car. The wash was one of those with the spinning brushes. By bumper I mean the plastic rear bumper panel that raps around the rear of the car.

WOW you actually saw it that's crazy I thought you were talking about a internet thing.
If the person is cheap like me screw that piece back on with matching colored roofing screws if the car wash won't fix it right.

Can you cook frozen sweet potato fries in a pan effectively?

I'm just trying to figure out how to cook them quicker than baking.

Is deep frying or air frying an option?

No just regular pan. (or is that 'air frying'?)

I basically just want to put in a pan with olive oil and stir up a bit until they're done.

No, an air fryer is a counter top appliance that works like a small convection oven.

As for pan-frying sweet potatoes, I would worry about the unevenness of cooking the fries in the pan and if they are frozen, releasing too much moisture in the pan to crisp properly. Full disclosure, I have never cooked sweet potato fries this way but I do know in order to get them crispy it does take longer than regular potato fries.
