My beloved 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk was stolen from the airport parking lot in Dec 2022 while vacationing. They stopped production in 2021 so a new one was not on the books. I found a 2018 in the same color combo, but it was misrepresented...not clean enough for me to love it and it being a first year model it wasn't as good as later production. It will be sold before long. Finally found a 2021 of very low mileage...literally smells brand new. Only problem is the first owner ticked the box for the gloss black hood and roof. The roof I can't really see and it blends into the windshield so I chose to leave it alone. I did have a white pearl wrap affixed to the hood...I'm finally happy enough to kick off the power modifications. Pleased as punch I finally found a daily I can love again...and beat on...LOL. HS

Don’t know if I can support another Hellcat destroying Greta’s environment. Just kidding, of course I can!

I upgraded my $10 scale to a $20 after it broke. Hold the door for me, Mikey.

I don't have Grahame's 'this is head-case' meme... But this is HC! I don't think that you would regret getting the S with it's additional features. It really does seem to be setup for getting the best of a pour over. I cannot advise too much. I use this for my espresso... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L92G6CF .. I'll see myself out...

^^^ Congrat! As a rule, I don't generally like white cars. I like that white vehicle.

I used to (30 years ago) know Don at DAG a little bit. Not sure if he is still in the Leica repair business, but he was our go to at the time. https://www.dagcamera.com/contact.html

I'm shopping for a new "full size" scale. Very pleased with the small Acaia Lunar that was an incentive to purchase my espresso maker a few years ago. I tried replacing my Amazon scale of 10 years with another and it drifts...not bad but I'm over it. Looking at the Acaia Pearl. Looks like plenty of scale for my needs (i.e. think pour over in a Chemex). I'm struggling to understand whether the Acaia Pearl S is worth the add'l cost, and I'm thinking it's not worth the delta. https://acaia.co/collections/coffee-scales Thoughts? Thanks in advance! HS

A Charlie Brown Christmas (Remastered & Expanded Edition) by Vince Guaraldi (1965) https://album.link/i/1440948781 So I have pretty much figured out that I don't equate Christmas music to Christmas - but to winter weather. And listening to Vince makes me happy...

First time seeing Elon’s folly in the wild and it is broken down on the side of the interstate. I smiled.
