I LOVE Ethiopian coffeeās! I got 3 different area Ethiopianās and a Guatamalan grown on the side of a volcano. Mine were roasted Monday, got em yesterday afternoon. And speaking of, itās time to make some moreā¦. lol
Edit: Iām partial to the Yirgacheffe region, Todayās 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 Iāve enjoyed each flavor independently, I will begin to mix in different ratioās on a daily basis, blending for the optimum properties of each bean. 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 Yirgacheffeās in whatever strikes my fancy as to how the blend should work.
Yes, Iām a coffee addict. Itās all siata95ās fault.
The stuff Iāve 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.
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.
Fidget Spinner parts on the way, first due to land by Saturday. lol
Yes Pete, but mineās blue with gold brass weights. Which I will change Saturday. Shhhhh! Iām not gonna tell my buddy that Iām upgrading the spinner he sent me, just gonna floor him with run times (or thatās the plan)
Also have a premium hybrid ceramic bearing on the way. Actually the tungsten weights will be here tomorrow, bearing Saturday.
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 youāre into timing them and keeping records, which my buddy is)
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!
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?
I donāt really care about changing the pads unless theyāre really uncomfortable, in which case Iād probably not get the earmuffs in the first place.
Wish I knew wotnahell I did with my Senns. Those I could wear all day and not even feel āem.
The Honda EU2200 came today. I put oil in it. Havenāt tested it yet because I have to get fresh gas. Iāve got 1 year old fuel around. I donāt want to mess with that in a brand new generator. Iām sure itās going to be a winner.
Running it for 60 minutes with a 200 watt load attached. Itās weird that the manual says nothing about break-in. They should have said itās not needed. Anyway, itās smooth running and very quiet.
