I've paddled a Tucktec fold out canoe/kayak in zero wind conditions. No experience packing it up or indeed assembling it but for photography on...

Likewise. The Netherlands holds a special place for us, as we went there for our honeymoon (more accurately, just a week), right before the scheiss...

How about, extraordinarily so and on the same level as fascists when it comes to trampling human rights? Bolshevism quite literally calls for the...

This sounds fantastic, enjoy. I know that road but wasn't aware there existed a narrow window of cyclist-only (aside from official vehicle) access....

That's too easy. He wants a free range coffee pot. One that has brown eggs. Zarafeti geri getirin.

Ugh. I’m married to a master gardener with a thing for trees, so I am well aware of local trees that show evidence of a schmuck with a sawzall.

Not legal. We have a city arborist and a permit is required for any intervention on a tree with a trunk diameter greater than 12 inches. Another...

I’m not here to foment strife in your neighborhood, but was your neighbor’s action legal? My town has a history of people (usually well-heeled...

Turns out that my little Bialetti is really a Marimba. Measures 5” bottom to top of the top, looks a lot like this one that’s supposedly 7”: ...

Now I’m grumpy that I paid $5k in the 90s. And even grumpier that my neighbor used an unlicensed crew, didn’t pull a permit and removed a mature...

I’m still daydreaming about our Netherlands trip last October. Spain and Portugal are on the to-do list.

This! As we daydreamed about property during the pandemic, I lobbied my wife with the potential of certain plots to support a pump track and tractor...

Very nice. Enjoy! We just got back from our trip to Germany, and the withdrawal from the high is a bit stark on the first day.

Bill all this talk of land and you haven't mentioned building a pump track yet.

I'll cut it down for half that but I can't guarantee where it will land.

I'll go look around here for you too. They are a great hidden coffee gear spot!

Jay, you're living a coffee table book. I hope you have some photos to assemble into a narrative of your journey. Maybe even a series of haiku. ...

I think my tree was $800 but they only cut it back to remove limbs over the roof. The guy who cuts the trees around here is an arborist so he tries...

I can share some inside scoop, feel free to PM me.

$2700 to take down a beautiful 100 year old Silver Maple. Def made me grumpy!

Ordered mine as well - waiting at my mailbox for its arrival!

Thanks, that explanation makes sense.

Yes, that's what I mean in terms of connection to the mothership. Its functionality is limited without the connection, so the value of the machine...

No that's not correct. My (admittedly amateur) understanding is that once you get your parameters set, they are downloaded to the firmware of the...

My understanding is that in that scenario the tablet is still running the machine since the machine requires a lot of computing input. The...

As long as the Decent machine doesn't need a connection to the internet...that would be a deal breaker for me. I like the concept of the Decent...

That is the reason I would NOT want the Decent machine. In fact, I just took delivery on an Olympia Cremina as an addition to my existing Rocket...

Thank you sir…we’re in Portugal and Spain until 08 May…too bad I can’t ride with Thomas!

The house we bought in Wyoming has a large but neglected yard. The previous owners were older, the husband died late last year, and the wife moved in...

No, the machine was designed by silicon valley types, it is totally dependent on the digital interface.

Can you get one without the iPad on it?

I haven't see this happen yet but it's a good idea.

It's because all alcohol sold in Ontario, other than beer, is wholesaled and/or retailed through the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO,...

Hope you and yours get to enjoy many glasses of Port and Madeira. How long is your trip?

Yep, that design has survived for 60 odd years for good reasons. I have had three E61 machines over the last 15 odd years, all purchased in non...

Looks interesting but that's proper money.

Getting smashed it would seem! Funnily enough Australia put a trade dispute before the WTO in 2018 regarding what it thought were restrictive...

Agreed... and it's served admirably for several years with basically zero issues.

Profiling. Also, this machine may turn into addition rather than replacement... might take r58 to office.

I was astounded recently when I read that the Ontario Liquor Board is the largest single purchaser of booze in the world, and the single largest...

You should avoid Mexican strawberries. Mexicans avoid Mexican strawberries. Well, my friends and family down there who know a bit about farming...

Someone I know has one, loves it. Pressure and temperature profiling for starters. The R58 is really just an upmarket version of the venerable...

Thanks for the info; I'll check!

Hear hear! Ordered. Along with some other soft goods. Thank you Richie for what you bring to this world.

In the stores near us in the Laurentians, what you are saying about produce and booze but also when people look at labels at the grocery store and...

Decent vs R58....what are you looking for that an R58 won't do?

Local café uses one of these. The baristas have told me that they’ve had some issues here and there, possibly due to firmware. I would go out on a...
