Nope, no tracking updates since Monday, when it arrived in San Diego.

Well you could get it any day, my luggy sat in Burlingame CA for almost 6 days after I got it according to USPS

Yeah, I have seen some delayed tracking updates before, so crossing my fingers it's actually at my PO today, but not holding my breath.

I'll keep mine crossed for you too. I googled that petstore you or somebody else said it was coming from and they're close to VB but not that close. That just cracks me up.

Ya know, a coffee snob would tell ya that is coffee abuse. The only correct way to make coffee is to grind it immediately before making it. As a caffeine addict though, I'm with you. Get it ready ahead of time, have it start brewing with a timer. I save my coffee snobbery for weekends when I've already been up for awhile.

I hear you on the fresh grind. It actually stores ground okay for a while, key is storing it airtight.

I picked up a case of 9oz Mason jars. They're perfect for the batch size I roast, and keep a ground bean solid for multiple days. I grind the morning drip kawvee the night before, keep it in a mason jar, and bring a couple days of French press coarse grind into work at a time.

I don't have time to do that during the week when I have to get ready for work...but on the weekends? Yeah, that's when I get snobby. I need to buy a new grinder though--mine bit the dust not too long ago.

French press works nice both at home ( when you have time) and at work. Amazon has a decent one, 36 oz, for $16. Toss it in the microwave to heat, then add kawvee and stir with a wooden spoon; 4 minutes later enjoy

I've got at last count 5 of em. One is specific for frothing milk for cappuccinos. Works perfectly

Good morning peeps. I trust everyone is well I actually had a good day at work yesterday since new manager took a 3 day weekend for sisters wedding Ha, looks like I will have a good day today too Only problem was a customer who picked out some flowers she wanted arranged in a vase and when I gave her the price including labor, she decided she would take them home and do it herself. Just a nice friendly exchange.. she didn't want to pay the labor charge. She proceeded to pay for the flowers and tell one of the assistant head checkers that I wouldn't arrange the flowers for her and I was rude. So he brought her over to my dept and said he was going to arrange the flowers for her Ignoring me reminding him we had a labor charge... long story short...it looked horrible and she wanted a refund... You know she thought the little checker guy was coming over and going to make me arrange her flowers for free, not happening and since he did not apologize to me for his actions when I confronted him about the refund, I turned the issue over to store management. I guess if someone orders a cake in the bakery and doesn't like it he is going to try and bake them a cake too
Ha he got in big trouble for over stepping his duties and interfering in my dept It was fun to watch though

So when does your coffee store open so we can all try this wonderful hobby you've taken on?

 

[GPC2012]

Oh hey I about forgot I finally remembered to run my luggy tank through my UC (it kinda smelled like 3 in 1 oil) and filled it for the first time last night, on my second tankful this morning I like this tank a lot. Depending on coils I may have to get another one or three

Hey G'mornin, doing well here. Another fine Saturday morning. Problem is, it's been Saturday for almost 2 weeks now. Can't go back on the road until I get all this insurance claim and roofing contractor stuff dealt with. Can't risk having them attempt to walk all over my Mrs. She might hurt them.

Yes and that is something he won't do again. He got rude with me when I confronted him about it. A simple apology would of kept me from going to management. A young Middle Eastern Guy who does not want to be bossed by women Ha

only a chopper at this point my burr grinder bit it and I haven't been able to get the burr grinder I want. Too Much Money.

I'm hoping for fathers day but not holding my breath.

Oh man I hear you there. Wifey is the sweetest most mild mannered lady I've ever met.

Ya know some people need to understand we are all people and are ALL EQUAL. Also realize that just because they are male doesn't make the somehow superior to anyone. Respect should be given to all until they have proven they don't deserve it. Somebody needs to B*slap some people into realizing that.
