Problem: Article: Place the trays inside of an oven or a food dehydrator. This will catch the drippings.  If you use an oven, then leave the door slightly open and keep a fan nearby for ventilation. Close the door of the food dehydrator since it already comes with a ventilation fan. Air-dry herbs or put them in a food dehydrator. Tie herbs such as basil, sage, rosemary and thyme in small bundles and hang them outdoors. Place the herbs in a food dehydrator for faster drying.
Summary: Arrange slices of vegetables, fruits or meats in single layers on drying trays. Line the bottom of the drying appliance with aluminum foil if you marinated the meat. Place the drying trays in the appropriate appliance. Start the drying process.

Problem: Article: It's important to look closely at the carburetor and the oil compartment to make sure you're not tilting the mower in such a way as to spill oil all over the engine, the grass, and yourself.  Generally, the safest way to do this is to tilt the mower back, toward the handle, and prop it with some kind of weight, or the help of a partner. This won't necessarily be true for all mowers, however, so use your judgment and consult the owner's manual, if necessary. It's also best to do this when there's no gas in the mower. Wait until you use it all up to change the blade, or you might consider draining out the gas with syphon hose. Typically, self-syphon pumps are sold at any hardware or automotive parts store. This prevents gas spillage onto the mower body. It's best to stay on the safe side and prevent a short-out or electrical flare-up if any oil or gas should come in contact with the spark plug. It shouldn't be a problem if you hold the mower properly, but it's still best to be on the safe side. Use a socket wrench of the appropriate size and unbolt the mounting, while using your other hand to keep the blade from turning.  Be careful not to lose any washers or mounting hardware that hold the blade into place, which can be reused. Pay attention to the position of the blade as you're removing it. You'll mount the new one in the same orientation, usually with the sharp edge of the blade going counter-clockwise with the turning of the assembly. Again, this may not be true on all mowers, so pay attention to the way this blade is installed and install the new blade accordingly.
Summary: Lift the mower deck to expose the blade. Unplug the spark plug. Remove the blade mounting bolt.

It looks like a rectangular hole that you plug a cord into.It is about ¼ inch (.6 cm) wide. Hold the Nook securely with the screen against your non-dominant hand. Place the palm of your dominant hand in the middle of the back of the Nook. Use heel of your hand to create leverage when you pry the back off. You’ll find a small notch on the bottom of the back cover, right by the USB port. Slide the fingernail of your middle finger over that notch. Place your other fingernails in line with the notch along the bottom edge of the Nook. Gently pull at the notch with your middle finger and press against the back with the palm of your hand. As the cover starts to come loose, slide your fingers down along the edge to remove it completely. Pull the cover off slowly so it does not bend or break.
