"what should I make for dinner"
Yesterday, I came home after a morning at Sweet Salvage and asked Connor what he wanted for dinner. It was his only night off this week, so he could pick whatever he wanted. He didn't know but told me he'd think about it while I went off to a lunch appointment.
I had lunch with Marissa's future mother-in-law, Amy, to go over some wedding details.
After lunch I sent Connor a text, "Any dinner thoughts yet?"
He replied, "Roast pheasant with buffalo sausage and sparkling cider sauerkraut."
I said, "So helpful."
He sent back a text, "Was it not specific enough?"
I thought, "He's egging me on" … so I said, "Sure sounds good."
I headed towards the grocery store, fully intent on just picking up some tortillas and making chicken enchiladas. I mean, if he wasn't going to say what he wanted, I certainly wasn't going to ask again.
A few minutes later, I get another text, this time with the website for his pheasant recipe!
OK, I'll take the bait. I sent back a text, "Any idea where I can get pheasant and buffalo sausage, Mr. Smarty Pants?"
His reply, "Costco?"
As I drove, I thought, "What the heck! I'm going to take his dare and make a version of his darn recipe."
I picked up Cornish game hens in place of the pheasant…
…and hot Italian sausage in place of buffalo sausage.
I checked out the recipe and it called for 6 pounds of prepared sauerkraut. Six pounds! A one-pound package costs $3.49, I'm not about to spend $21 on sauerkraut! So, I bought just one package. I mean, I was going to have to alter this silly recipe drastically anyhow.
Turns out Connor went on Google and typed in "What should I make for dinner?" A few sites came up and from that he picked out-
Roast Pheasants with Buffalo Sausages and Sparkling Cider Sauerkraut
This recipe calls for juniper berries. I used them since I have them on hand, but if you don't – there is no reason to go buy a jar – they honestly don't add much flavor at all.
Here is my recipe for…

layers of creamy potato goodness
For Valentine's dinner, Dave requested a version of these potatoes, which he had seen in the food section of the Arizona Republic.
The original recipe did not call for the half-and-half or thyme, but I felt it needed both for extra creaminess and flavor.
They were divine!

fennel-orange rub
Dave's brother, Roger, has been visiting all week and was here on Valentine's Day.
Roger's specialty is grilled bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin. Dave's specialty is perfect garlic bread.
Roger also wanted to grill salmon, so I came up with this spice rub. The potato recipe will be shared in tomorrow's post.
Fennel-Orange Spice Rub for Salmon
- 1 tablespoon fennel seed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Zest from 1 orange
- Salmon
- Olive oil
- Red wine vinegar
Place the fennel seeds, salt and peppercorns in a spice grinder and grind.
Stir in the smoked paprika and orange zest.

Friday = Cocktail Time
Today is the last day of "Cocktails & Cupcakes" bridal shower details and recipes.
What better note to end a week on than cocktails!?!
We'll start with the recipes and end with a fun decor item that the mother of the bride, Laura, her sister, Mary, and I created.
These following two cocktails come from The Bar Book Elements of Cocktail Techniques by Jeffery Morgenthaler with Martha Holmberg. Martha taught a modern sauces class at Les Gourmettes last month and I was the happy recipient of this bar book.
Tom Collins
- 2 ounces (1/4 cup) gin, preferably in the Old Tom-style, such as Hayman's (available at Total Wine)
- 3/4 ounce (1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 ounces (1 tablespoon) simple syrup*
- Ice cubes
- 2 ounces (1/4 cup) chilled soda water
- 1 lemon peel for garnish

strawberry margarita cupcake
It's finally time for the cupcake recipes from Megan's "Cocktails & Cupcakes" bridal shower!
Actually, time for the cupcake recipe. Only one cupcake is new to this blog. Links to the remaining cupcakes from the shower are at the end of this post.
I found the recipe for these Strawberry Margarita Cupcakes through Pinterest and I had some trouble with it. The problem was actually with the frosting. It's similar to the frosting for Toffee Crunch Mini Cupcakes (which works perfectly) but this one still gave me fits.
The frosting was a nice consistency, until it was time to add in the strawberry purée and the other liquids, then it became a runny mess and the only way I could fix it was to add cups (so very many cups) of powdered sugar. The result was an overly sweet – basically pure sugar – frosting. I've corrected the recipe, but please still take extra care when adding the strawberry purée, add a little at a time and keep an eye on the consistency. If you do this, you should not have to add any powdered sugar!
Also, when looking at the photos, please keep in mind that I made a double the batch so that I could make regular and mini cupcakes. So when you see 4 eggs instead of the 2 called for – don't be concerned.

Sweet 'n Spicy Meatballs
Some people may think I was crazy to host two bridal showers in as many weeks. Crazy like a fox is what I say!
The shower that Abigail, Kaley, Alyse and Marissa threw for Lindsey left me with a bounty of items and ideas to use for Megan's shower, two weeks later.
Kaley did such a beautiful job with the chalkboard art that I immediately knew I'd be using it again!
Abigail left behind a wonderful bulletin board that she had guests write words of sage advice for bride-to-be, Lindsey.
I just had to recycle it for Megan's shower, as seen on the left edge of the photo below.
Then there was the "Welcome" and "Presents" banners that Abigail made.
Yes, I reused them as well.
So, as you can see, hosting two versions of the same sort of party in a short amount of time is easier than hosting just one!
Here is another appetizer from Megan's shower.

Cocktails & Cupcakes Bridal Shower
All week I will post photos and recipes from Megan's bridal shower.
How cute is the invite?!? Laura ordered them from HERE on Etsy.
Megan is Laura's daughter. Laura is my best friend from high school. She was my maid of honor, I was a bridesmaid in her wedding. Laura is Marissa's godmother and I am godmother to two of her sons. So, yeah, we have lots of loving ties to each other.
Three generations of beautiful women! Laura's mom, Coleen, the guest of honor, Megan, and my dear friend, Laura.
The theme may have been cocktails and cupcakes, but the shower began at 5:00, so dinner was on the menu too!
Megan's Bridal Shower Menu
The Appetizers
- Bloody Mary Shrimp Spoons
- Grits and Collard Greens Spoons
- Korean-Style Turkey Meatballs
The Cocktails
- Classic Tom Collins
- Maple Old-Fashioned
- Rojo Sangria
- Moscow Mule
The Savory
- Build Your Own Niçoise Salad
- Cheese Board
The Cupcakes
- Mini-Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon Curd and Lemon Buttercream Frosting
- Toffee Crunch Mini Cupcakes
- Maple-Bacon Mini-Cupcakes
- Stout and Irish Whiskey Mini Cupcakes with Bailey's Irish Cream Frosting
- Mini Strawberry Margarita Cupcakes
I had a lot of inspiration from my wonderful neighbors, Cindi and Cheryl.
Cindi is the queen of hosting bridal showers! She offered to loan me some of her beautiful items/ideas. For instance, she takes her daughter Stephie's vanity out of the bedroom and used it as a champagne bar!
She generously offered the vanity for me to use, but I used Marissa's mirrored vanity instead.
I moved it downstairs and outside and used to it serve the Maple Old Fashioned drinks from. Such a glamorous look!
Cindi also loaned me a wedding dress that she used as the front door decor. Doesn't it look fabulous on her gorgeous front door?!?
Not quite as impressive on my door, but the guests still thought it was beautiful, of course, they didn't know any better! Since I have the double doors, I had to somehow balance it out, so I used the vintage window frame/chicken wire frame that Peggy made for me.
It's pretty darn cute! Even though, now I want new front doors as fabulous as Cindi's!
Lastly, Cindi loaned me big "diamond" ring napkin rings. Not the best photo of them, but they were darling. Thank you Cindi for all your help and inspiration. xoxo
Now it's time to share the inspiration from Cheryl. Do you remember this photo from back in December? This is what she made for her annual Ornament Exchange and I've been dying to recreate it ever since! As you'll see in the recipe below, I copied Cheryl's salad down to the order that the components are placed on the platter. No need to mess with perfection! Thank you, Cheryl! xoxo

crab cakes for the Patriots
I made a themed dinner for Super Bowl Sunday. Crab cakes for New England and coffee ice cream for Seattle. To be honest, I didn't make the ice cream, I bought it but it's the thought that counts and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't think "coffee" when the the think Seattle!
In the recipe, I give you instructions on how to smoke tomatoes on an outdoor grill. I actually used an indoor stove-top smoker that I own and love.
If you like to smoke a variety of foods, it's a pretty good investment. You can find it HERE. If not, just keep using your grill.

lazy Super Bowl snack
Did you enjoy the Super Bowl? It was very low-key at our house. A few weeks ago, Dave and I received an invite to a party, but we turned it down because we didn't want to leave Connor and my dad hanging out to dry.
A few days ago I talked to my dad and was asking what time he wanted to come over and he informed me that he was going to a Super Bowl party! How do you like that? Too funny really. So it was just the three of us chilling at the house all day.
I had some chips and salsa on hand, so that was snack #1. I needed something more but I had no intention of going grocery shopping, so I came up with this tasty treat.
I'd baked a few potatoes the other night and had two left. Plus there was leftover prosciutto and cheese from last weekend's bridal shower. That's all it took!
The recipe made 16, I ate 2 of them, the rest quickly disappeared, so I guess the boys really like them!
Prosciutto Wrapped Cheesy Potato Wedges
- 2 baked potatoes, cut into 8 wedges each
- 16 pieces of Port Salut or Brie cheese (cut into 2-inch long sticks)
- 8 thin slices prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise

I thought it was wonderful and hearty! It reminds me of a think gumbo, it would be great with egg noodles or rice.flag if inappropriate
Good Taste!!!flag if inappropriate
Fabulous! Used red pepper instead of green ans used tilapia. Delicious over riceflag if inappropriate
So good! Quick to make and is easy to scale up for a crowd.flag if inappropriate
Very nice! Used Halibut tails for white fish and shrimps. The only mistake I made (that kept this from being an excelent dish) was using canned tomatoes instead of chopped fresh for the sauce... use fresh if you have them!!! I also sprinkled a little cajun seasoning and squeezed the rest of the lime over the dishes just before serving.flag if inappropriate
Have made this stew several times and have loved it every time! Easy to do, ingredient list not too bad, and is just as good the next day. Fantastic for a nice romantic meal or a dinner party.flag if inappropriate
Very good. Easy. A bit of prep, but if done ahead you could put this together pretty fast. Everyone loved it. I served it with jasmine rice on the side.flag if inappropriate
Very good and pretty easy. My store didn't have the fish recommended so I used sea bass. Our Brazilian exchange student said it was like she has in Brazil.flag if inappropriate
Absolutely stupendous. Incredibly easy to make, really delicious, and made all of my friends think I'd been slaving over it all day! Even the Brazilian guy loved it.flag if inappropriate
Easy and tasty. I used red and orange bell peppers as well as the green and substituted light for regular cocunut milk. Still had slight coconut taste but a little less creamy than I would have liked.flag if inappropriate

Is CAS ruling on UV light blood treatments consistent?
By Dr Ben Koh published on 20 August 2013
It was previously reported in 2012 that Germany's National Anti-doping agency (NADA) had investigated the use of UV light blood treatment by athletes as potentially a violation of national anti-doping rules1. While the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) on 30 January 20122 and the German Sports Arbitration court on 2 Nov 20123 had both deemed that such UV treatments prior to 2011 were not in violation of the anti-doping code, the German NADA disagreed with that position and raised the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for clarification.

Reuters: A surge in hiring in the world's largest economy last month drove the Nasdaq to an 11-year high on Friday as optimism grew that the labor market is on a steady path to recovery.
The broad-based gains on solid trading volume also sent the Dow Jones industrial average near a four-year high….
The U.S. economy created jobs at the fastest pace in nine months in January and the unemployment rate dropped to nearly a three-year low of 8.3 percent, the government said.
"It is really hard to find something not to like in the jobs report," said Andrew Goldberg, market strategist at JP Morgan Funds in New York. "There is genuine strength in this report with broad-based jobs creation."

NYT: The comeback from bankruptcy at Chrysler hit a milestone Wednesday when the smallest of the Detroit automakers reported a $183 million profit for last year, its first full year of positive earnings since 2005.
…. Last year's results show how far Chrysler has come since 2009, when it was taken over by Fiat as part of the bailout engineered by the Obama administration.
Its revenue for the year increased 31 percent to $55 billion, and worldwide sales of its cars and trucks grew 22 percent to 1.85 million vehicles. In the United States, its market share increased to 10.5 percent, up from 9.2 percent a year earlier.

WMUR: A new poll shows that the improving economy has also raised President Barack Obama's standing in New Hampshire.
….Obama has seen his job approval rating nearly flip from the last Granite State Poll in October, with 51 percent now saying they like the job the president is doing, compared to 43 percent who don't. Just 41 percent said they approved in October.
…. Obama's improved fortunes are also reflected in head-to-head matchups against the Republican field in New Hampshire. In hypothetical matchups, Obama leads Mitt Romney by 10 points, Ron Paul by eight points, and trounces Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum by 25 and 21 points respectively.

Robert Shrum: …. So it's Romney in 2012, despite glaring weaknesses revealed in the primaries, from his animatronic awkwardness to his plutocratic profile. The latter has been a product not just of attacks from his opponents — and the attacks will be unremitting in the general election — but of gaffes that are in reality self-revelations of his actual character and conviction. When he slips the confines of his canned answers, when an off-message moment or question deflects him from toeing his adviser's carefully formulated tropes, he tends to shift from Ken Doll to Gordon Gekko.
…. For other candidates, the verbal miscue is an episode; for him, it's an epidemic – offering $10,000 bets, saying foreclosures should run their course, claiming he feared getting a pink slip, explaining that $400,000 isn't much money, announcing that he likes to fire people. (And at that, Romney has had a lot of practice.) He blithered about releasing his tax returns, then released only two years — and will face intensifying scrutiny about off-shore tax havens and whether he paid any tax, or almost none, in years we haven't seen, like 2008 and 2009.
….Romney not only looks like the face of the Republican establishment; by his own words and deeds, he has become the face of unfairness in America, a profile in numbness and indifference.
…. What will Mitt Malaprop say next? Stay tuned.

Steve Benen: Several weeks ago, I launched a Friday afternoon feature, highlighting the most offensive Mitt Romney falsehoods of the week. I was off last week, but let's get it started again.
1. Romney claimed President Obama "went before the United Nations" and "said nothing about thousands of rockets being rained in on Israel from the Gaza Strip."
True or false? The claim isn't even close to being right.
2. Romney said Democrats "passed Dodd-Frank," which "has made it almost impossible for community banks."
True or false? He's has said this before, and it's still completely untrue.

Greg Sargent: The first thing you should watch this morning is this harsh new Web video from the Obama-allied Priorities USA Action. It paints a very lurid picture of "Mitt Romney's America," and it provides the clearest clues yet as to what kind of campaign Obama and outside groups will run against him if he's the nominee.
Romney's corporate background, as well as that infamous Bain picture, get top billing, and are tied to the allegation that Romney's policies would be a boon to corporations while decimating the middle class. Obama advisers and allies intend to paint an extremely vivid and even frightening picture of what Romney's desire to roll back Obama's post-Bush reforms would mean for the economy, the country, and the future. Beyond his pro-corporate policies, the feeling on the Obama team is that Romney's corporate past is an unexplored and potentially serious liability, particularly amid the intense anti-Wall Street sentiment that seems to be on the rise…..

matthew shepard died 13 years ago today
Politicususa: … On October 7th, 1998, Matthew Shepard accepted a ride from Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson … they drove Matthew into the country, tied him to a fence post and beat him severely … they attacked Matthew because he was gay. They left him there in the cold dark, bleeding and unconscious until a cyclist found him, almost 18 hours later. Matthew died from his injuries on October 12th, 1998…
Eleven years after Matthew's death, President Barack Obama signed into law The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Act … this bill makes it a federal crime to assault people based on their gender, sexual orientation and gender identity … Judy Shepard had visited President Obama in the Oval Office and he had made her a promise that this day would come. By signing The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Act into law, President Obama kept his promise to Matthew's family.
…. I asked many people to share their memories of Matthew Shepard with me, including Captain Stephen Snyder-Hill … the Army officer who was booed at the Republican debate…
Joshua Snyder-Hill: … A year later I was taken to DC for my first equality event. I was still not out to my family or friends. The one thing I remember most were the people picketing the concert hall cheering Matthew's death and celebrating it as a victory. I remember all my fear of coming out melted away. I had spent three days in DC seeing nothing but hope and activism until that moment; it was then and there I decided, I had to be part of the fight for equality. Matthew's death and the energy behind it, made me want to be proud of who I was and show love conquered hate.

Shifting without a clutch question.
November 18, 2010, 11:14:35 AM »
My bus has the spicer six speed and I would like to learn how to shift without the clutch once it gets moving. What is the method or secret from you pro's on doing this without a lot of noise and grinding ? Is it easier upshifting or can it be done both up and down shifting ?

You can learn to shift without the clutch with practice.
However, I don't do it nor do I recommend it. It is great as long as a shift is done right and smooth. But if you miss a shift, there is 1000ft/lb of torque clashing with 40000lbs of bus, and it will break trans, drive line, diff, or axles in a hurry. The system was designed and built with a clutch: use it. Or go get an automatic.
I know a lot of truckers shift clutchless. Not a lot of bus drivers do. I never was a trucker, but in almost 40 years of bus driving, shifting without the clutch was always strongly discouraged by company mechanics for being too abusive to equipment.
Sure you can get good at it and shift really nice and smooth 99% of the time, but it is that one bad shift that will damage something.
You will find a lot of people who will tell you it is a good practice. Depends what it is you want to hear...

In theory it is simple - when you shift without the clutch you simply arrange for the gear and the main shaft to be turning at exactly the same speed and you can engage the gear without grinding. Simplistically the gear is connected to the engine and the main shaft is connected to the wheels. What you are grinding is actually the splines that sliding hubs slide along the main shaft on to engage the gears, they are hardened steel and about 1/4" wide and 1/4" deep, there are probably 30 of them for each gear. they are a pretty exact fit. I wouldn't try to shift without the clutch now having taken a Spicer apart to look inside, and having seen the damage on the dogs/splines.
I have racing transmissions that use a remarkable similar design to the Spicers - except for size! but their sliding hubs have only 4 or 8 dogs that engage the gears, and they are designed to be a very sloppy fit - and those gearboxes are designed to be shifted without the clutch up and down. I can complete a shift in about a quarter of a second, and the faster the better.
So bottom line, if you can shift without a clutch more power to you, it's a great skill and might get you home if your clutch fails one day. But I'm going to keep on double clutching MY personal Spicer that I own and have to pay for if I break it, and work on getting that down pat.

RJ Longs article is where to start. When my clutch was going bad, I learned to shift without it and was surprised by how easy it was. What made it easy though was having a tach so I was able to match my engine rpm to the rating of the particular gear at that speed. For example, on my 4 speed 2000 rpm in first was around 1200 in second, so things went very smoothly. It is only because I could shift without the clutch that I was able to drive the bus 200 miles to Bakersfield to get Don F. to change the transmission, so even if you are going to generally use your clutch, it is a good skill to know.

When i was a kid i worked for a dairy farmer that had an old Ford flatbed that we shifted without using the clutch. Later on i used to do the same in 2 VW bugs and much later a Ford pickup. Haven't done it it many years though as i went to automatics.

I have been doing it with my 6 speed spicer. I had a problem grinding going from second to third until I learned to double clutch. While I was figuring it out I had to get better at listening to engine speed before I would shift. I was always in a hurry. Now that I have the "talent" of knowing the engine sound to change gears I started shifting without a clutch. I have found if you just apply a little pressure to the shifter it moves almost like it knows it's time. If I had a tach it would be allot easier I think. I still do not recommend doing anything that can hurt your bus but if it is something your going to try no matter what I would like you to have your best shot at it. When I first received my bus I noticed a little sticker on the dash that said " this trans has a trans break. Do not push to floor while bus is moving or damage will occur " or something like that. So now I don't know how far to push in the clutch for full disengagement. I think I have not been using the clutch half the time I drive anyway. I am afraid of pushing the peddle in to far. I think you need to drive through town with allot of gear changing using your clutch and really listening to your engine and watching your tach. Know where the shift is at low rpms and don't force it. I do not like the shift from 1st to 2nd because the bus seems jerky but on up from there is a cake walk. Start by pulling out of gear into neutral first. Get that feel of the gears getting lined up and releasing. If You don't feel it, touch the throttle a few rpms and it will hit that sweet spot between the engine and trans turning exact speed. It will come right out into neutral. If you just learn this you will use 50% less of your clutch already.

I took some friends with me to bring one of my buses home. I was the only one who could shift it without grinding the gears. My technique to up shift was to take it to ~5 mph below the governed speed - let off the throttle and stab the clutch as I pulled it out of gear - let it 'rest' for a moment in neutral - gently nudge the shifter towards the desired gear. After it was in the next gear, I'd get back on the throttle.
To down shift - I came to almost a complete stop & slipped it into 1st & worked my way back up to the desired gear.
It is more a matter of technique than clutch useage that avoids the problem of grinding gears - I've heard lots of drivers grind gears even though they were double clutching and, I've seen gears shifted silently & smoothly without a clutch. You should know in short order if clutchless shifting works for you.

I do it all the time with my 4-sp Spicer. It is easier going up than down. I don't clash gears any more than I do using the clutch.
The real difference is timing, you have to take your time between gears. It takes a while but you will get the knack of it.
I don't do it down-shifting on a climb, then I double clutch as fast as possible. Shifting without the clutch uphill causes too much loss of speed. The quickie double clutch takes the bat of an eye to do and is smooth as silk 90% of the time.
If you miss a clutchless shift you just go back to normal double clutching.
I've driven 18 wheelers but their transmissions are completely different, they have air shifts and transmission brakes - this makes a world of difference.

If you miss a shift and clash gears with the clutch pedal down, the engine is isolated from the transmission and drive line. All the tension and binding is relaxed, and although noisy, little damage occurs.
Clash gears, or get hung up between two gears without the clutch, and there is no give anymore, and cumulative damage happens to trans gear teeth, bearings, u-joints on the drive line, diff, etc.
Without using the clutch, the whole drive train from engine to drive wheels is rigid, except for the brief moment while the tranny is in neutral. Going from neutral into gear, if the rpms don't quite match, first the gear teeth will take a beating as they grind against each other, then as they engage/mesh with a jerk, the shock is taken by other parts, and I don't think it is good for them.
I have never met a driver that could shift flawlessly every time all day, day after day. Even the best grind gears once in a while.
I'm only a shade tree mechanic, but it seems like elementary logic to me...

When I changed the 13 spd transmission to the Allison HT740 in my truck, the PO had to overhaul the transmission at 350,000mi. I changed it at almost 1.2 million. So I got 850,000mi out of my transmission and the clutch was original. My suggestion is to upshift without the clutch but use the clutch for down shifting-that's what I did and obviously it worked. Good Luck, TomC

All of these have been written from a driver's view, with the exception of brian and lostagain...
It is amazing that risking abuse to the transmission continues to be a sought after badge of honour, or sign of having arrived as a big rig driver.
The rebellion against the rule makers continue?
No transmission manufacturer has recommended clutchless shifting.
No sane person who has paid for the repairs and downtime continues the practice.
As noted, once you've seen inside a transmission to see what parts are grinding against one another, and which way, you'll be likely to just use your clutch.
A multi-speed truck transmission has gears spaced at most 400 rpm apart at the redline, much closer than that when progressive shifting a modern 4 stroke. We historical bus types are looking at 600 rpm gear spreads and bigger for every shift. That is a much smaller target to hit.
There is a misconception that using the clutch to shift somehow uses it up. Not true.
You use up the clutch on take off by revving the engine while engaging the clutch, you use up the clutch by resting your foot on the pedal while driving, lightening the clamping force of the clutch and allowing some slippage under load,you use up the clutch by having the engine speed and road speed wildly mismatched at engagement.
As noted the clutch disengages the power from the weight and lets the little hardened splines and gear teeth rattle against one another and match speed, with no more than their own spinning mass behind them for energy. With clutch engaged, those splines are forced against the very edges of one another with the mass of the spinning engine, potentially under power, on one side and the weight of the vehicle moving down the road on the other, as they are pushed along the shaft by your shifter use.
Neither forces are very easy to change to a different speed for the metal bits to align and slide together.
The heavy duty transmission shop near you has a bin full of shafts with twisted splines from getting it wrong.
It is very possible to completely wear out/burn up a clutch in the city in under an hour by using bad take off techniques.
It is also possible for the clutch to last the life of the drive train in city driving.
See RJ's article.
Now, if your shifting is good using the clutch, you get the gears in without any clunk,smooth as a hot knife through butter every time, no grinding, rattling or other sign that anything is less than perfectly aligned for many miles of shifting, you already have the timing to simply remove the use of the clutch from the equation.
I am with Tom, it's one thing to clutchless shift against an engine that is not being fueled, it is a whole 'nuther thing to be pulling the shifter with the engine under power. I am a fan of using the clutch for range shifts and for downshifting. Anything that is likely to be stressful on the parts, clutch gets used.
It is your ride, and your money, get a tutor and do what makes you happy!

BW, I like your exposition of what's happening, makes it very vivid. One thing I read a lot is about the gear teeth and what they are doing during a shift - the answer is nothing, the gear teeth are constant mesh with their mate and never move in any way to effect a gear change (except for reverse). All of the gears in the transmission are constantly spinning and in perfect mesh. They aren't straight cut either (again except for reverse), they are helical cut to reduce noise.
For fun, I went out and took a couple of pictures. The first picture is of a 4 speed Spicer, input/fourth gear and third gear, with the sliding hub towards third gear so you can see the splines and the teeth on the input gear. They are less than 1/4" across and you can see the rounded portion where the sliding hub engages them. When wear occurs that rounded bit gets bigger.
The second picture is showing the first/second gear sliding hub, which is also the mainshaft gear for reverse. You can see how huge the reverse gear is (around 10" in diameter, and very heavy) and that is what you are sliding around when doing first/second shifts. You can see the helical cut second gear, and the splines and teeth that are engaged. These teeth are larger than the three/four teeth since they transmit a lot more torque, they are little over 1/4" wide and you can see the same rounded wear pattern on them.
If you look at the first picture again, you get an excellent visual of how the transmission actually works. The top gear in the picture is the input gear, it's part of the input shaft that the clutch rides on. Power comes into the gearbox from the engine via the input shaft and the input gear. Below and to the left you can see the countershaft gears. They are constantly in mesh with the input shaft gear and the main shaft gears. Power comes in via the input shaft and gear, is transfered down to the countershaft and then back up to the main shaft gears, so there is a gear reduction between the input gear and it's countershaft gear, and then again between the countershaft gears and the main shaft gears, that lets the pairs of gears be smaller and more compact. When you select a gear, the sliding hub locks that gear to the main shaft so it can transmit it's power out the back. When you select fourth, the input shaft is locked directly to the main shaft for a 1:1 ratio.

Never a good idea to shift gears while the drivetrain is under a load. That is one of the reasons they included a throttle & clutch. Use them as necessary.
So, yes, normally using a clutch is the way to shift. Shifting without a clutch brings potential problems - while damage may be likely, it is not guaranteed. . . .
Some people are 'tuned in' to the machinery they are operating - others, not so much.
I know guys that can tell when a inside dual tire is flat on the trailer just by the way the steering wheel feels. I've also heard of an instance when the driver didn't notice when a whole axle came out from under the trailer he was pulling.
Driving style & technique matter more than simple use of the clutch. SILENT gear changes is required for maximum life of the transmission.
So, do what is required to get that. - For me, I'm gonna use an automatic.

Bevans6-that Spicer looks very different from a Roadranger transmission. That Spicer looks more like a large car transmission with regular synchronizers. The Roadranger has a square shaped slider without synchronizers that is made to lightly "grind" into gear everytime (as demonstrated by my 850,000mi trans life). On a transmission with synchronizers you should NEVER not use the clutch-in other words-ALWAYS use the clutch on a synchronized transmission since not using the clutch will quickly wear out the cone clutches of the synchronizers.

Hi Tom, that was my thought as well. Aside from not having synchromesh cones the sliding hubs on this 4 speed Spicer are a lot like a normal automotive gearbox, just really big. It's definitively not a synchromesh box, as those of us who have them know very well... But the point that truck transmissions have very different sliders that are designed to engage easily without the clutch is well made.
I think this is why I have found learning to shift the Spicer by far the hardest thing I've done so far, driving-wise. Absolutely the hardest thing to shift I have ever encountered, including a number of other non-synchromesh boxes.

Although I don't drive my bus an awful lot, I really have no trouble shifting up or down, double clutching or not. When I first drive it after a long layoff I grind a little but soon get smooth shifts.
However, I decided to try shifting without the clutch and didn't have too much problem with that either. BUT on a couple of occasions the shift was very hard judging from the heavy "clunk" I heard. I decided at that point the tranny probably wasn't meant to be used that way and that catastophic results could occur should everything not mesh properly. So I quit doing it. I just resigned myself to the fact that I wasn't driving a race car anymore and taking my time shifting made it much smoother and easier.
It amazes me that we buy these old buses with a zillion miles on them and then go through all the effort to "baby" them like it was a brand new $300000 Ferrari. And then we do things to them that they were never designed to do , like clutchless shifting. Puzzling!

The only thing a synchromesh cone does is to speed up or slow down the input side of the transmission to match the output side. If you don't have those cones (or something like them), then it is up to the driver to do it. Usually it is easiest by using the clutch & throttle.
I still maintain that if your shifts are smooth & silent, you aren't hurting anything - regardless of clutch use.
It is possible to damage the transmission during shifting even if you are using the clutch.
It is quite easy to KNOW if you are causing damage - grinding noises, shifter vibrating as it goes in gear, lurching, etc are all indicators of damage occurring.
My vote is to use what ever method that works for you to enable the smoothest shifts possible.
Smart people with limited funds will, of course, start with the most common method - & that will involve double clutching. . .
BTW, as I understand it, the double clutching event is:
Clutch in - unloads drive train to allow you to slide it out of gear without any load on the gears.
Clutch out - allows you to use the engine to speed up or slow down the speed of the input gear to match the speed of the output gear. (takes the place of the synchromesh cones)
Clutch in - allows you to slide into the desired gear without any load on the gears.
clutch out - allows the engine to supply power to the rear wheels.
Bottom line is the gears have to be at the same speed to engage - it is up to the driver to get them there . . . .Unless you have some form of an autoshift.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. (R.M. Nixon)

Greetings, all, from Spangdahlem!
Since I wrote the article over on BNO about shifting, I'll throw in a couple of comments here. . .
I still recommend using the clutch to shift, double-clutching those with non-synchromesh transmissions.
I sometimes cheat and up shift w/o the clutch, but rarely.
Sometimes I hybrid up shift - clutchless to take it out of gear, clutch in to grab the next one -very easy to do w/ a GMC/Detroit. Gotta "feel" it!
I ALWAYS double-clutch downshifts - too much mass spinning around back there to screw up.
What's always amusing to me is teaching newbies how to downshift as they're pulling a grade while keeping the throttle floored the whole time! You should see the looks ("WTF??") LOL

Contrary to intuition; most damage occurs to the drive train using the clutch. When you shift without the clutch, you must have the rpm matched between the engine and the drive train or the gear coupler will not engage and no undo loading of the drive train can occur. With the clutch released you can select any number of wrong gears or even if you select the correct gear, the rpm delta between engine and drive train changes at an amazing rate, so if you are just a little late getting the clutch released those huge torque loads are applied to the drive train; broken axles, twisted drivelines, shatter u-joints, even broken crankshafts. Those loads almost impossible when not using the clutch. My experience was mostly in a KW with a 262 hp Cummins with a 5 and 4 with 300 rpm between gears. You have no idea how fast the road speed drops while chasing gears on some of our Pacific NW hills with 80,000 pounds.

Obviously you can't clutchless shift with a load on the gears, most people should be able to understand that? I don't know that any manual gearbox can be shifted while loaded, clutch or no?
All you have to do to unload the gears is take your foot off the go pedal - simple. If you aren't already pushing it, push and then release. Same results.
All this talk about locked up drive lines and damaged gears is a complete mystery to me? I've never once seen this situation in over 60 yrs of driving, maybe I will someday.
I never said I don't crunch gears, I do it regularly on the 4104 - but there is no difference in crunches between clutch or no clutch shifting for me!! I don't think anyone can drive a 4sp Spicer in a bus and never crunch a gear!!!
I have a bunch of older vehicles from a Jeep to a 10 sp Dodge C900 truck tractor and I shift all them without using the clutch. Not all the time, it depends on the situation, but most of the time.
I'm still waiting to have my first damaged transmission.

When I changed the 13 spd transmission to the Allison HT740 in my truck, the PO had to overhaul the transmission at 350,000mi. I changed it at almost 1.2 million. So I got 850,000mi out of my transmission and the clutch was original. My suggestion is to upshift without the clutch but use the clutch for down shifting-that's what I did and obviously it worked. Good Luck, TomC
But Tom, you've got skills!
And he has 1/4 of the spacing between gears than we have in the bus. I imagine that helps just a tad.

Especially when trying to pull a hill, using the clutch can speed up the shifting process. Even with a non synchroed transmission, using the clutch on a hill you can pull the gear shift in faster by grinding it in forcibly. Sometimes waiting for the engine to coast down to the next gear would bring you to a stop. If you're really skilled, you can use the Jake brake to slow the engine faster to speed up shifts. Good Luck, TomC

About "What Do I Care"
Lyrics for The Statler Brothers - "What Do I Care"
When I'm all through if I haven't been what they think I should be
If the total isn't high enough when they figure me
When I grow old if there's no gray from worry in my hair
What do I care what do I care
What do I care just as long as you were mine a little while
When the road was long and weary you gave me a few good miles
What do I care if I miss a goal because I make a slip
I'll still be satisfied because I tasted your sweet lips
What do I care if I never have much money
And sometimes my table looks a little bare
Anything that I may miss is made up for each time we kiss
You were mine for a little while so what do I care
[ guitar ]
What do I care if I never have much money...
You were mine for a little while so what do I care

Tell the FDA to Permit Over The Counter sales of Birth Control
The American College of Obstretics and Gynecology believes that birth control pills should be made available over-the-counter and many countries around the world have already done so. Given the last 50 years of its prescription availablity, research shows that the pill is safe and effective for use in preventing unwanted pregnancies and relieving female health issues.
Reports show that 2/3 of American women want birth control made available OTC. This FDA reclassification would reduce medical costs by eliminating the requirement of paying for a needless doctor visit in order to obtain the prescription, and additionally it would provide easier access to many women who lack or have difficulty obtaining sufficient healthcare.
With the obstructionism of women's healthcare in the SCOTUS decision in addition to numerous state legislation causing detriment to the lives of women across the country, there has never been a better time than now to ask the FDA to permit the sales of OTC birth control.
Women all across America are facing increasing difficulty in maintaining their reproductive healthcare rights and this measure would eliminate many of those issues in addition to ensuring women's autonomy in making decisions about the well-being of her body.
Given the 50+ years of research and prescription availability of Birth Control American medical professionals report that it is very safe and effective for female health matters, and further indicate that Birth Control should be made available OTC, as many countries have already implemented.
