Diggin' some Icelandic action... HS

You hit it on the head. Some coffees call for a darker roast and some do not benefit from add'l roasting and a lot of flavor nuances are lost....IMO. Took me a lot of coffee drinking to figure that out as I leaned towards darker roasts for years when I was younger. HS

It took me a while, but I've learned that over roasting is not my thing. That was my only complaint with O.B. Hs

I can’t get enough of the Double Shot’s beans. Currently drinking the Panama Hartmann Natural Lot 5. Lovely coffee. Always rely on my French press. Nothing fancy. HS

RIP, Hugh... RIP, Joe and Mark... HS

For my edification, is the RO a scratch magnet because of the brushed finish or is the stainless a different grade? The RO is quite beautiful. I'd go slightly larger....say 39mm. Three watches that have caught my fancy of late and all quite different: first it was the Drive de Cartier line, then the RO's here, and now I've been noticing the Rolex Daytona's a bit more than I should do... I've concluded the Tag Monaco is simply too large for my wrist unless it is perhaps an older one. I"m a bit over "vintage" for the moment having been working on partially restoring/refreshing motorized toys the last few years. Omegas have long been piqued my interest. HS

this is going to get colorful.... HS

I look forward to seeing what you think of the upgrade, L. Also, turnaround time. Please keep us posted. HS

I really wish you had not done that, ER. I was fancying one seriously last year when I purchased a nice watch for the wifey for our 20th. It was the thicker version available then. I managed to back away... I agree. It's a lovely watch. Not sure about the gray strap but I like both the stainless and gold. HS

RIP Jo Jo and Peter. The sands keep dropping... HS

Find out what shop is the most reputable chassis tuner (ie suspension shop) in your area that does not rape customers. You’re generally looking for old school. Then speak to them about your ride, tires/wheels and how you track the car. Flash the girly pic of the shocks and wait for the magic... HS

Wow... Too much work after year-end and I've been missing the passing of some exceptional people. RIP, Dolores and Eddie. Godspeed Dan Gurney... What an exceptional man, racer and American... http://autoweek.com/article/racing/dan-gurney-1931-2018 HS

Massdrop (not for the impatient...) has a Focal headphone for sale. A less pricey option for those that are into the Focal sound sig I'm estimating. 1000 units available. They do appear to be selling briskly. The amp in the main image may leave some wondering, WTH....LOL https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-focal-elex-headphones?iterableCampaignId=216054&iterableTemplateId=308608&mode=guest_open&referer=TJLFZB&irgwc=1&clickid=wxHzJiU4T1br1XexG5VvOww%3AUkmTap2N018%3A1A0&utm_term=385697&utm_content=VigLink&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=impactradius HS

Make it stop!!! And you had to post the lovely gold unit, Hop... HS

RIP Pat... I need to dust off my Smithereens vinyl. HS
