  • Carvana

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

    Hopefully, I will be impressed.

    C300Coupe.png

    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.

    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. 🎼 🎵 🎹

    We are planning on it! Going to head to Maine after the party to visit my daughter and her partner. She might attend as well. She is checking their schedules.

    Full Class A headphone amp built-in with a incredible array of options. Up to 2TB of Micro SD storage.

    I just ordered one.

    Reason I bought this is I have an elderly customer who wants to replace his 160Gig iPod and needs it to be very versatile. I will be able to provide better support for him if I actually own and use one. At least that's my justification for the purchase. lol

    @bachophile said in Chick Corea, 1941-2021:

    When I was a teen, returns to forever’s romantic warrior was the go to “get stoned” music.

    was? 🤣

    Pass that doobie!

    Seriously though, I have that album on vinyl and it is still spectacular after all these years.

    A dog and a cat are having an argument on who is the favorite of humans.

    The dog says, "Humans like us more. They have even named a tooth (canine) after us. Naming such an important body part after us shows that they like us more."

    The cat smiles and says, "You are really not going to win this one, you know."

  • Depressing statistic that we need to fix
    markM mark

    First of two houses purchased in 1987. I had just turned 25. Second house purchased in 1998. I will probably die here unless the current wave of development around me pushes my home value closer to 1 million. If someone wants to give me a million for this place I would most likely take it, spend around half on a downsize, and pocket the rest.
