That's seen a few shots in it's day. Did you taste anything out of it?

I didn't from this guy - wish I had but I didn't see anyone operating it the few times I passed by. I didn't see many lever machines in action. Pressure profiling was discussed a lot (tried Stumptown from a La Marzocco Strada was in use at their booth; pretty yummy)

Score!

I have been working offline with Warrior for a period of time.  He has to free up some space and I have decided to help him with with that.<Grins>  He is putting in the OE gasket o-ring kit for me -- I will take possession this summer.  Deal done.

Just a preview tease.  Now, what wood should I go with?  Olive wood is much too light for the red.

Hawaiian Koa might look nice and also be appropriate...

Where does he live in Idaho? I lived in Boise / will move back there after school. He has a reddish wood on the first page of his thread on HB. Any idea what the wood is? Although the above point about the Hawaiian Koa is a good point with your love of Hawaiian beans.

Sung to Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave your Lover..."

The problem is all inside your head
She said to me
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To love a lever

She said it's really not my habit
To intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning
Won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
To love a lever
Fifty ways to love a lever

[CHORUS:]
You Just slip out the forum, Jachum
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the group, Rup
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the pump, Gump
And get yourself free

She said it grieves me so
To see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do
To make you smile again
I said I appreciate that
And would you please explain
About the fifty ways

She said why don't we both
Just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning
You'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me
And I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways
To love your lever
Fifty ways to love your lever


4 Paul Simon BBC TV (50 Ways To Leave Your Lover)
