Good Evening Randy,

Whilst 'in town' I also picked up a newly delivered "Nespresso" order from the PO.

Just curious about the Nespresso , I see it advertised with George Clooney ! Have you tried it and if so what do you think ? Is it anything like Keurig ? Thanks for any input !

Yes congratulations M7040! What's your secret? If you gave advice to a young couple, what would it be?
My wife & I have been together 52 years and our anniversary is in 3 weeks. We've always had each other's best interest at heart. I think marriage would be an interesting topic of discussion.
Just last week we had a family member marry finally at 44 years old, wife 40. They had this elaborate wedding but something just didn't seem right.

G'day Scotty!
I've had a Nespresso for approximately the past 18 years... I'm 'on' my second machine, not because the first one broke but because technology advanced.

The 'original' (which they still make) uses smaller 'pods'. 2 pods would produce a mug of coffee. The new machine uses different sized, larger diameter, pods that incorporate a bar-code that the machine reads IOT produce the required amount of pressurised water for the size/'intensity' (espresso/cup/mug)

My Aunt (Canada) has a "Keurig", so I've been able to experience one of them. It's 'OK' and the pods for it looked to be readily available. I've not seen a "Keurig" here in Aus and I certainly haven't seen any of their pods in my local grocery store.

I'm very pleased with my Nespresso system, especially that they deliver (promptly, I will add) within days of my order. Nespresso have their own shops in the major cities where you can try out the various machines. Here in Tasmania, they sell the machines at a major retailer ("Harvey Norman") where you can also try the machine out.

Hope this answers your question Mate.

Keurig is not bad but it doesn't compare with Dark French Roast on Turkish grind done in a French press.
My work has a Keurig machine, I've had a couple of cups and decided that I would wait until I got home.

Drew, I'm happy to see you made it home without major incident.

Happy Anniversary to you and the Mrs, Frits

 

[sodamo]

so nice to be home
lovely fall leaves out but I didn't remember 81 being so rough in PA. It needs to be totally redone.
next time I'll take the turnpike, actually smoother
took a few things out of rv but going to lay down for a bit, then take a long hot shower.
very pleasant 68 out and sunny, but very dry, will probably be watering later.

Sometimes the best part of a trip is getting back home.

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee is done brewing. 37° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 57° with rain in morning and cloudy afternoon. Got grocery shopping done. Then did some tree trimming. Hope to get windows washed after rain passes.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

 

[daugen]

good morning all
seems strange to say that from here, looking at this giant screen on my desk instead of perched in front of a laptop in rv.
but very happy to be here.
coffee going down nicely

so much to do today, just going to pace myself. 39 going up to 67 today.
after running errands, home to keep unpacking rv.
then I need to winterize it, not hard to do, I did not blow out the lines last year using pink stuff and
that worked, but maybe I'll use the adapter I bought for my air compressor and give it a final blast of air.

I would love to go out and mow the lawn/suck up leaves, but so dry I think all I'd do is create dust and get filthy.
But no rain in ten day, what happened to our rain?
maybe this afternoon. Means putting leaf vac back on JD, makes a lot of noise but works beautifully.

in almost two months on the road, I did not get rained on once. Sprinkled once, but that's it.

lawn guys did a nice job on the garden shed foundation and I mailed them a check. Probably overpaid them at 1000 but
shed company wanted 1500 so these guys sure appreciate the work. Looks perfect, now to get the shed delivered, need to call Lapp Structures today
and get that scheduled. Might as well do it while it's dry out.

didn't sleep as well as hoped last night, back feels better but leg cramps from all that heavy traffic driving yesterday woke me up.
that should all go away now

I hope RNG and Buckeye are having a good trip.
Dennis, you put arguably the best tires on your trailer, all good. Flats can mess up your day.

Buppies, I hope you have a good day. At least all this sunshine is good for business.

 

[Thomas]

30F partly cloudy day upper 50's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today... 4 hours at part store afterwards stop for critter food,afternoon some leave control and meet with the tax man.

Enjoy your day all.
