Love this

Not yet. I got the parts in the mail, have to get a small chunk of time now, because I doubt I'll have it done in 1 day.

How I feel on a good day.

I'm going to be replacing the timing belt in my 2016 Honda Odyssey. Has anyone done this job before? Wanna hold my hand while I do it? Or at least give some advice?

Hella storm last night.

Is this some kinda metaphor?

Also, it's better than GOOD coffee. I mean like $12-14 a pound coffee. We generally pay ~$10 a pound (cafe ole) when we buy roasted coffee.

Short answer yes. Green coffee has gone up a LOT. At this point I can get it for about $5.70, but that's in a 65 lb box, and the cheapest beans at the moment.
Still, tastes better than anything at the store, and green beans keep for 2 years if they were a recent crop.

I'M GLAD YOU ASKED.
;)
It's right at $800. It roasts a little over a pound at a time. Have to buy it direct from China so tariffs might hit you now.
It's very much a consumer grade tool, people report it giving out after about 350 pounds go through it, but parts are cheap, etc.

Love this thing. Best coffee roaster I've ever had.

Ok... I'm addicted to Facebook, this is where I'm going to break my habit (hopefully). I'll keep my FB for ads and maybe to reach people on non personal things, but personal life stuff will be updated here. I hope people migrate here. I check Facebook and I get 95 percent ads and promoted content.

Get there early and take your time you can make it. 8 hrs round trip. My plan is lose 20 lbs, get to 70 flights of steps on the stair machine in one run, and try again. It's 2700 altitude change from an already high elevation and thin air is a bigger factor than I realized.

It nearly killed me dead. I went with Finnian. And we headed for the highest peak. About 1/3 of the way he (who talks about being scared of heights) said he was terrified and we are going back down. After we were almost back down I realized he was terrified FOR ME. Definitely a tough hike.

That was my fault. Sorry.

Went to Guadalupe Mountains National Park. It was very nice but a dust storm blew out the first 24 hours.

Very happy with this new roaster.

I hope it gets light again.

It's cold. I keep tryna think of posts to make here.

Here's one:

Gulf of America is fodder. It's a distraction and an attempt to paint us as un-American to the right wing followers. An opportunity for them to post troll memes to each other, to further solidify their dehumanization of the left.

Just finished Cobra Kai. Ridiculously bad but the nostalgia and silliness... I really enjoyed watching it.

New coffee roaster. Wanna open a coffee cart with me?

If @schatz.bsky.social can put a hold on State Department nominees, why aren't Dems doing this for others, including Cabinet nominees?

No nominees until Elon is gone.

I remember it being MORE efficient than being in the office. If I had a need from networking I didn't have to walk to the building, I'd just unmute my microphone and say "Sam what about this..."
