That thing is seriously sweet, Jeff.

Chili has been in the crockpot for 8hrs, just whipped up a batch of cast iron skillet corn bread to accompany it shortly.

Breakfast.

Time for one-pan breakfast. First sausage Then pohtaytoes Then eggs, with sausage mixed in

Something tells me that they treat you a little differently than they treat customers with a less established or consistent ordering history. Back when I used to regularly order they'd get stuff out on the same day if I ordered in the morning (EST) and rarely it would take until the next business day.

Revisited an old favorite tonight - baked enchiladas w/ homemade verde sauce.

Looks similar in parts of New England this morning. We got around 5" which normally wouldn't be any big deal. But my tractor is in for service which means I get to shovel the 150' driveway by hand.

No R1200RS love, Jeff? If you're not hitting any dirt I don't get the appeal of an adventure bike since, as you noted, they tend to be overly tall. I assumed since that was the vein you appeared to be going down that you wanted/needed the suspension travel. But if pavement-only works, I'd revisit both BMW and maybe even Ducati. There are probably others to look at and ride, but I generally lust hardest for those two unless you've got a local Aprilia dealer...

And so it begins...

Excellent news, Jacob!

Happy Birthday Todd!

This!

In case this is happening to anyone else - it has plagued my wife for the last day - the only fix to the "my iphone now reboots every 30 seconds" is to update to 11.2. I'm amazed that this bug made it into the production version of a previous update...

^^ This. A very happy birthday to you, Gene.

Was consumed at Smartmouth Brewery so, had beer.

Finally got home after a long day. Dinner was unplanned and spectacular courtesy of a local food truck that happened to be on the route back to the hotel. Carne Asada Tater Tots Shredded Pork Panini All thanks to this place, which aptly described my mood at the time.

It's Tuesday, so.... + toppings

I'm pretty sure that I put either a Crucial or Samsung in my laptop when I did something similar, Ken, and it's been great. Yup, just checked, Crucial M500. I'd say it gave me another couple of years of useful life but that was with a way over-spec'd gaming laptop that is still powerful enough to do just about anything but is suffering other hardware failures (fans at the very least). It's 8 years old and due for replacing, as soon as 9,000 other things get bought and paid for.

Happy Birthday, Bryan!

Lunched at the Handsome Biscuit today in Norfolk, VA. This is the Hella Fitzgerald which consists of fried chicken, topped with bacon and cheddar (I also added a fried egg) with accompanying sausage gravy all on a sweet-potato biscuit. \ I didn't really eat breakfast so I decided that a side of hash was in order. And because, Head-Case, I tripled down on dinner and went to the Grilled Cheese Bistro. If anyone needs me I'll be a in a food coma for approximately 48hrs plus or minus 2 days.

The mac is a bit much for now and the Dell is sadly sold out. I'm traveling for work this week but will try to track this thread and thanks in advance, guys, for the help.

Sorry to pigpile but it seemed too much to start a new thread - any decent Chromebook deals today? I need something for Lily to use for homework and they use CBs at school all day and I'm hoping they're a little less than the Macbook that I'd like to buy her.

Baratza Virtuoso is what I have and use. Had a Bodum burr grinder before that which died an unfortunate death at the hand of a stone in my beans (it happens, evidently) and was specifically referred to this model as being able to deal with that without having terminal results. I think I've had it for a good 3yrs or more now and it's been great. Has both timed and button-hold options for grinding and the required variation of grind for drip/FP/espresso/etc.

It's appreciated.
