Three good things from your day

[drgoretex]

1. Corned beef
2. Rye bread
3. Mustard

1. my day off to do whatever
2. good meeting with my accountant
3. bout to go have an aeropress

Those aeropress' make such a good cup of coffee! I think I'll have to break mine out when I get home. This work coffee just isn't cutting it today.

Agreed. I'm lucky that the coffee where I work surpasses coffee virtually anywhere on the damned planet.

Yes, I am truly Jealous of that fact! We have a local chain called Kaldi's that roasts in St Louis and is pretty good. If you get the whole bean coffee directly from the coffee house it's generally pretty fresh. They distribute to the grocery stores too but it's never the same once it's sat on the shelf for awhile. Sadly the kind at my house is from the grocery store.

1. Lovely phone call with 'SO'
2. Finished pen related project
3. Significant progress on 'scammergate' thanks to the balls of another member. You know who you are. xx

[BikerBabe]

1. My boss, kicking my butt when I forget that I have a bad back, and I start heaving heavy stuff around. Thanks man!
2. Good colleagues who do the same. Then I help them in other ways if I can.
3. Discovering that one of the big yellow cargo wedges is great for dealing with the slightly defunct handbrake in the truck.
And yes, it has to be sorted out (- together with the busted headlight light bulb and the winter tyres), but the mech didn't have time until next month.

1. Truly appreciating the gorgeous, sunny late afternoon and early evening after emerging from my fluorescently lit office.
2. My husband spontaneously decided to cook a Greek feast for dinner.
3. Vanishing Point Raden arrived.

I will be posting reviews of both pens. I just inked the Rotring with Omas Blue as it came with a converter. Initial thoughts: Oooooo techy, pretty, I think I can stub this. How the heck do you get the barrel off? Oh! I see, the little orange tab thingies were keeping it in.

I need a cartridge or a small converter for the Stone Curve. That will have to wait until I get home. The feed looks suspiciously Pilot 78G!

Thanks!

Fresh Roasted Coffee

La Pavoni Lever Espresso Machine

Perfectly made Cappucino

What a beautiful cup of coffee I had today.

[manoeuver]

Nice! We've got a La Pavoni up at the retail store still in the packaging; I've never used one.

today:
Guatemala Maragogype
reconstituted blue-black in my airmail44
my wife is awesome

[reprieve]

1. Mmm, coffee.
2. The blackberry plant is sprouting berries!
3. Sleeping in until 7 AM this morning.

[JustinJ]

I have attached a picture of my espresso machine to the thread. It has held up remarkably well for 16 years. I have only had to replace the o-rings which is regular maintenance. You should pull out the La Pavoni and use it. It requires a little trial and error but definitely worth it when you pull good shots. If you need any help, pm and I can help you further with getting a good shot out of the Pavoni.
