South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

What are you getting into today?

 

annual egg hunt done! No tears shed! Off to more fun stuff!!

 

Sold to the new owner, he’s got 3 little boys so I know it will be used and it’s made for these rivers. I caught 1000s and 1000s of smallmouth from that thing in the last 2 years guiding and fishing. Looking forward to buying a glitter boat once we get settled in down in Greenwood. One good thing, I got a stupid amount of cash for truck parts!!!

 

Funny story.

I ordered a guitar a few days ago. 2014 reissue Kramer Baretta special. (Ikr, a guitar!, you don't say).
So the guitar was listed as "excellent, dare I say mint".

So my feedback on there page included a 4 out of 5 stars and I mentioned that there was a tiny dent/ding on the body that wasn't disclosed in the pics or description. Ok, no biggie, it's barely noticeable on the vintage cream color. I just thought it was worth noting. Not like I gave a 1 star rating for lying.

1st pic is the original description.

2nd pic was my feedback.

3rd pic was their feedback on my page.

 

Lol...they won't ever sell to me again...but gave me 4 stars. Lol

 

@ahspurlock I had the shop that mounted my 35s do a alignment for me. This is the driver rear alignment cam. Wouldn't this put the tire as close as possible to the cab mount / firewall?

 

I mean you can barely see it. I just thought it was worth mentioning. Anyway.....I think that was #18 or 19. I lost count.

 

You coffee drinkers...got any recommendations for a french press that I could use at home and maybe at the campsite?

 

get the $20.00 one at Starbucks for home; may also use camping.

Or maybe this for camping:

I have this one:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K1WNKP8

It now lives in my camp gear as I replaced it with a larger one for home:

$39 Secura French Press Coffee Maker, 50-Ounce, 18/10 Stainless Steel Insulated Coffee Press with Extra Screen

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UQZ0E8C

Sometimes I wish I had a glass one so I could see the coffee...

 

Also have a handheld ceramic burr grinder for the camp gear and an electric burr grinder for the house.

lol. I used a Krups grinder (burr-er?) had it forever. At the time '00 or so- thought I wanted it in red...

 

I've had this grinder for about 2 years now I think. It's great. 40 different grind settings. Even though I typically only use 2 of them haha.

 

Thanks for the suggestions fellas! Have been using a stainless percolator for camp coffee but thought about trying something different.

 

Baller...

I've just got a $30 Mr. Coffee grinder.

 

I’ve got the Bodum press and grinder from Target.

 

I've only used one but I can say it works just fine.

What's the difference in french press coffee vs. drip coffee? Is it more of a creamier cup and not as watery? I have noticed that when I drink black coffee its more watery than I'd like.

 

It's hard to beat an old river pot peculator, but the French press is close. With the press you go coarse with the grind and the grind actually steeps in the water to get a richer flavor.
