South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

We'll be back down your way ...in July... again. We got the little girl tickets to the JoJo concert. Big sis is actually taking her to the show but we'll be down there fighting the skeeters again.

 

Was there, saw it happening! Well, before we got kicked out for insurance liability.

Tanks and porn. Who knew?

 

Playing with my new espresso machine. I’ve made a mess.

 

Oh lord. Now he's going to be overcaffeinated. There will be no stopping him now....

 

Pretty normal for you and consumer electronics to not get along?

 

In my defense:
This is my first espresso machine and it was used and is missing the proper basket I should be using.
Also, my super fancy espresso grinder has not yet arrived from Italy so dialing my grind size is not going great.
Lastly, at least nothing technically exploded. The machine is still in working condition, that’s particular shot I tried to pull was too coarse and made a huuuuuuge mess. Hilarity ensued.

 

Apocalypse Now

 

I’d love a legit espresso machine...

 

Got this one for $50! Like I said though, it’s missing a few parts but they’re cheap. I paid $40 for 3 parts that were super dirty and I’m upgrading to better parts. Also paid 15 for the proper basket for the portafilter as the one I’m using isn’t the correct one. This machine goes for like $350 new. So right now, I’ve only paid $105 for it essentially. It even had an upgraded steam wand so that saves me another $30 of a purchase I would have made so now I’m back down to $75 for the machine!

But I did order a $432 grinder for it.

 

Dang.. you got cancer* everywhere..



*Warning: coffee (and eleventeen million other things) is known to the state of California to contain cancer causing chemicals.

 

Good grinders ain’t cheap sadly

 

@SC2SC what cargo net did you get for your trip out west?

Also anyone with some good suggestions for some dry duffel bags I am looking at getting a couple. Not looking at spending a fortune but not wanting to get cheap ones that'll leak and not hold up for more than one season of camping.

 

Yep! Good times. Did you get that winch installed yet?

 

Hope you don't have to dig out this Mornin.

 

Heading out this morning for a day trip to CAW with the RZR. Have to scratch the itch since I couldn’t make it to Morris with the rest of you assholes.

 

Sounds good. Anywhere air conditioned.

 

I have one in the living room I need to replace. Inside pane got broken.

 

Naw, debating on that or u-bolt flip for mod day.
