Coffee came in yesterday! :smiley: YAY! lol

Nice! Mine is going to be roasted today. Iā€™ll pick it up on Saturday.

I LOVE Ethiopian coffeeā€™s! I got 3 different area Ethiopianā€™s and a Guatamalan grown on the side of a volcano. :smiley: Mine were roasted Monday, got em yesterday afternoon. And speaking of, itā€™s time to make some moreā€¦. lol

Edit: Iā€™m partial to the Yirgacheffe region, Todayā€™s brew is from Ethiopia , Yirgacheffe, Idido Gerse Kebele

Yesterday I enjoyed the Guatamala Bella Carmona

Tomorrow I will go for a tried and true Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Aricha

And Saturday I will brew up, again a tried and true, Ethiopia Hambela which is a Single Farm coffee. (Most of these coffees are small lots of family owned and picked trees that are brought to a local processor where they are dried on beds in the sun then stripped to the bean and sorted, shipped.)

Once Iā€™ve enjoyed each flavor independently, I will begin to mix in different ratioā€™s on a daily basis, blending for the optimum properties of each bean. :smiley: For example, this new Idido Gerse Kebele is a beautifully flavored coffee in comparison to the bolder Guatamalan, so I may use about 25% of the Guatamalan to enrich this Yirgacheffe on a given day. Other days I will mix the Yirgacheffeā€™s in whatever strikes my fancy as to how the blend should work.

Yes, Iā€™m a coffee addict. Itā€™s all siata95ā€™s fault. :stuck_out_tongue:

The stuff Iā€™ve been buying as of late comes from the Cerrado region of Brazil (Daterra Estate). It has hints of caramel and chocolate in it, and low acidity. Works great for making espresso-based drinks.

Done. Reviews look pretty good.

Had an alkaleak take a dump in my QC15s, ainā€™t turning on anymore, so Iā€™ll forgo noise-reduction just to have a nice set of earmuffs again.

A friend sent me my first Fidget Spinner, an Atesson he bought off Amazon. It has brass weights, spins like 8 minutes. He has gotten 10 minute spins on his. So now I am in the business of making my spinner outspin his. :smiley:

Fidget Spinner parts on the way, first due to land by Saturday. lol

Cool! Is it one of these? Amazon.com

I never had a spinner before. Just ordered this one for $6.99 delivered
ATESSON Spinner

Yes Pete, but mineā€™s blue with gold brass weights. Which I will change Saturday. :wink: Shhhhh! Iā€™m not gonna tell my buddy that Iā€™m upgrading the spinner he sent me, just gonna floor him with run times (or thatā€™s the plan)

Also have a premium hybrid ceramic bearing on the way. Actually the tungsten weights will be here tomorrow, bearing Saturday. :smiley:

As I understand it Glenn, those are a new offering with the bearing outers, more ways to have fun with it but less total spin time (if youā€™re into timing them and keeping records, which my buddy is)

I did some research on head-fi.org

The two best headphones for what I'm looking for, and for my budget, are the BossHiFi B8 and the Takstar Pro 82.

The Takstar is as good as the BossHiFi, but it's not super-easy to change the earpads for the TakStar like it is for the BossHiFi, so that made the choice simple for me.

I have a friend in Saudi Arabia that thinks very highly of me, sent me these for my birthday via DHL Express no less! :smiley:

Each are approx 29mm x 40mm, one is Mokume Gane (Cu/Br/NiSilver?) and the other is Titanium damascus (Gr 2/ Gr 4) The copper/brass one weighs 228 grams, the Ti one is a mere 115 grams!

Now what, pray tell, shall I do with these beauties? :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Thatā€™s going to be one giant spinner. :slight_smile:

Or, quite possibly, my entry into this years scratch built challenge. :wink:

I donā€™t really care about changing the pads unless theyā€™re really uncomfortable, in which case Iā€™d probably not get the earmuffs in the first place. :smiley:

Wish I knew wotnahell I did with my Senns. Those I could wear all day and not even feel ā€™em.

The stock pads should be reasonably comfortable, though they are pleather.

I like velour, so that's why I have to change the ear pads.

My wife loves the Sennheiserā€™s I bought her for her Birthday a couple of years agoā€¦

The Honda EU2200 came today. I put oil in it. Havenā€™t tested it yet because I have to get fresh gas. Iā€™ve got 1 year old fuel around. I donā€™t want to mess with that in a brand new generator. Iā€™m sure itā€™s going to be a winner.

Running it for 60 minutes with a 200 watt load attached. Itā€™s weird that the manual says nothing about break-in. They should have said itā€™s not needed. Anyway, itā€™s smooth running and very quiet.

Niceā€¦ you always prepared.

Nice! Sling it over your shoulder and use it to power a hot rod flashlight! :smiley:
