Is my butler pulling my leg or what?

Is my butler pulling my leg or what?

I asked my butler where all of the money from the house's discretionary spending account went and he told me he spent $8000 on an invisible portafilter. He was telling me how it is so pure that none of the materials will color the teroir of the yirg handpicked dragon fruit coferment gesha beans I had delivered from a boutique subscription service.

Is he lying to me here or is he on to something ingenius?

Saved my Dual 1019

I was given this turntable by a very dear friend back in 2000. It never really worked quite right and it's been on a closet shelf for the past 20 years. I put it up for sale on Facebook marketplace few weeks ago for $100. Some guy offered me $75 telling me it was only good for parts.

It has a brand new AT VM95 cartridge, new Cardas tonearm wires and a fresh alignment. So much for a spares piece; it sounds amazing now and should last another 60 years. I sure wish my friend was around to see it.

My wife insists on bringing a glass and spoon in the car for coffee.

We have six different travel mugs she can choose from but instead she brings a glass and a spoon. The damn spoon rattles the whole time we were driving and it is definitely mildly infuriating.

HMD recommend recommendation?

I've recently picked up a Harmony bowl because I like the size and depth of it. Silly me though… I didn't take into account that it wouldn't properly fit my Na Grani SS HMD.

I'm curious what other folks are doing that works really well. I could go straight foil or I also have a Provost AOT II but have been using that as a top for my Na Grani.

2021 Rearview mirror dimmer problems?

Hey folks! I've had my Compass since May and the rearview dimmer has never worked. It has three wires going into the plug and it's on nice and snug.

All other systems seem to be working so I don't think it's a fuse issue but I'm not sure yet? Has anybody run into this problem? I wanted to ask before I went to the trouble of removing the driver side cabin fuse cover.

Oops... left my 1990 Wagner in a tub of lye water

Good thing I accidentally melted some beeswax in peanuts/safflower oil!

It was as gray as the day I brought it home from the grocery store.

Blade profile question

He folks! The knife on the left has been my daily driver for the past four years. I use it at work on a daily basis and it has received many sharpenings to keep it working in good order. The one on the right is something my wife got me for my birthday and has never been used.

I'm curious to know if the one on the left has been sharpen so many times that it has been reshaped or was that the original profile? I just don't know anymore.

I'm asking so I know to be careful with my new one.

Edit to add: thanks for responding to my post and letting me know these are a bunch of fakes. I just like them for the utility purposes. I cut boxes, open parts, cut zip ties shred cable bundles, cut tape… the tan handle knife has been really good for this.

I'm probably not going to tell my wife that she bought counterfeits but I will direct her away from the knife shop she's been going to.

A little something for my cappuccinos

I don't always add flavoring to my steamed milk, but when I do the stuff is great! My son eats a lot of cinnamon toast crunch cereal. At the bottom of each bag is a little tiny treasure trove of cinnamon/cereal/sugar dust that might otherwise get tossed in the garbage. Instead of throwing it out, I save it in this little tiny jar in my spice cabinet to flavor cinnamon toast crunch cappuccinos!

It may not sound like much but it's a nice, decadent treat for the weekends.

Do you add anything to your steamed milk?

Black Fig Flies in SoCal

3.5 year old tree I cloned. Finally I'm home long enough to tend the plant and enjoy its growth but noticed several fruits looking discolored. After I cut one open it looked like BFF larva damage. These pics are from after all the buds got pulled off the tree. Sure enough, there were larva in many of them.

Big fan of HJ Uncut

Last night I tried B-Muff and that stuff is bomb! Tonight's session I'm running Dopamine plus Adalya Hawaiian that I picked up in Dubai. I'm enjoying a rare, chilly Southern California evening.
