The New Coffee Room

I am a one drink and done type. Usually Scotch or Bourbon with a fine cigar.

I do this only on nice weather weekends starting Friday after work then again on Saturday night. On occasion, I will do Sunday evening as well.

In the winter months I do not imbibe. It is 100% a nice weather, weekend thing.

I never feel bad the next day. I do feel very tired after that one drink.

I got out of that mess a few years ago. Dissolved my S Corp and work mostly for W2 income now. I still do some side hustle work which is 1099 based.

lol

Hmm. Seems fake. It certainly isn't conventional latte art using just steamed milk.

It still has the problem of the small intersection on the ‘wants a truck’ / ‘wants an EV’ Venn diagram.

I live at that intersection.

I put my deposit on one a couple of weeks ago.

The Bach was mesmerizing.

I use a Clearaudio bubble level for the plinth and the tonearm has a built in bubble level that should be level when the stylus is on a record. The plinth has three height adjustable spike feet.

Still have the Heco speakers but I replaced them with a very gently used pair of Sonus Faber IL Cremonese. They are made in Italy.

Had the opportunity to purchase these at a very good price. Hesitated a little but in the end, I caved and wrote the check.

They are freaking amazing. It was like getting a whole new system.

The system is still evolving. I might replace the DAC, amplifier and phono preamp with an all in one integrated from GoldNote, the IS1000. Also made in Italy. I have it here on trial.

I'll have to watch it later. I'm done buying guitars.

We have 5 Bidets in the house. Some have hot water connections, and some do not. I don't care one way or the other.

Get a bidet!!!! Never realized how nice they were until I got one. Hard to go back!

Plus, you use quite a bit less toilet paper

Mark was evangelizing them at the time. I ended up getting a poor man’s bidet (sprayer attached to toilet) as Mayla prefers them.

I still do! We went Bidet back in 2017 or so. I was laughing at all the toilet paper hoarders. I hate pooping without a bidet.
