Glad they are helping and be sure to refer back to them during the first couple of weeks with the machine as it will help speed up the learning curve.

As for the bottomless PF's, I had a machine shop do mine though I hear it's not too hard.

Ha!

For some reason this makes me think of isotope money.

Thanks a lot for that.  :P

Jim

I'm glad it worked out for you!  Welcome to lever land...... sink or swim it will be a fun ride for sure.

I'm having lever withdrawls... in Arizona and other than the coffee I brought, I haven't found anything decent yet... coffee wise.

At least you've got good Mexican food possibilities. With enough hot salsa, on an awesome breakfast burrito at the local hole in the wall, you should be able to neutralize your taste buds enough that the local coffee doesn't taste as bad.

Larry,

I'm exctied to make love to Ms. Lussia! John F will be shipping this week and I hope by next week this time I'll be petting her and trying to get her to purr!!!!!!!! I'm in withdrawl right now too. Ms. Silvia is shipping from the Spain household to her new home today and the counter looks bare. Ms. Silvia has been a great pump for my learning skills and now for the "Main Event!" I appreciate your lead on finding Ms. Lussia and for John F's help in getting her too me, and of course Shaun and his never ending support and knowledge.  jim

1st Line now has a PVL in stainless.  Not in the market but if I didn't have Creminas, I have warmed up to the PVLs after hearing Shaun and John sing its praises and seeing its older brother SAMA on display in Larry's suite:

I'm going to post a couple vids for Jim to consider ignoring...

First off neither of these shots came out great today. There could be any number of reasons for it not least of is the crazy biker named Troy I met last night at a concert. He smuggled 9 of those little bottles of various whiskeys into the show and his wife smuggled 9 more in each bra cup....I'm not making this up.

Troy would not take no for an answer on doing some whiskey shots with our beers.  I have a slight headache today.  ???

Anyhow I'm sort of happy with the less than perfect turn out of these shots for the purpose intended of posting them.

First up is voodoo #1

Single pulls PVL


And  a closer look into the shot. It got a better in the cup but today is just an average coffee day as fate would have it.

The trick of course is making average good.  8)

Another look at single pull PVL

And a little Gibraltar because it's always a good idea to add one if ever in doubt.
