  • Pretty sure I couldn’t do this.
    KlausK Klaus

    I usually do three sets of 75s. I'm pretty dead after that, so the name "dead hang" is well-deserved.

    It feels weird to do this but I am giving Carvana a chance to impress or disappoint.

    Hopefully, I will be impressed.

    Try to dead hang from a bar for one minute. Most people can't do this.

    Try hanging with one hand. Most people can't do that for a second.

    I've heard there are lots of health/back benefits if you just dead hang each day for as long as you can.

    I do that on a regular basis. It straightens you out pretty well, and your forearm strength increases significantly. In fact, I often do dead hang with left hand alone to to address the muscular imbalance between left and right forearm due to decades of, eh..., coffee drinking with the right arm!

    C300 Coupe. 2022 3,770 miles on odometer. Still under factory warranty.

    Traded the Toyota Crown for it. Even up trade pretty much. Paid cash, and that is a first for me on a car of this caliber. Taking that $540 monthly I was paying on the Toyota and putting it into a Roth.

    So very happy to hear everything worked out. I had goosebumps from fear and anxiety reading that.

    I'm about to pull the trigger on a car purchase from Carvana.

    Trading my car to them as part of the transaction too.

  • For Mark and Other Espresso People
    markM mark

    I have a 64mm Flat Burr grinder that was a "sample" that an online retailer made available after I submitted a support ticket that my 2 year old grinder had stripped the threads on the adjustment ring but it was out of warranty and this particular damage was not covered by the warranty any way. So he offered my a couple of options that were all very good deals. I took the cheapest option and it has outperformed any grinder I have owned to date. That includes one of the Baratza Encore models in the article

    It has zero retention. 20 grams in = 20 grams out.

    It makes some of the best espresso I have ever had.

    Of course, Roasting my own beans helps a lot in that department.

  • Piano Party 7/27. Klaus is coming to visit
    markM mark

    @Klaus We are also looking forward to it. Don't expect much in the way of new pieces from me however. I still dabble with the Bach,Beethoven and Chopin and but not nearly as much as I should to stay performance ready. I suppose I will have to step up and do some practicing. 🎼 🎵 🎹
