Addiction LXXVIII

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Couple of cups of standard coffee, daily. Doppio espresso for summer café stops.

Oh and I'm going to go full trainer geek and put the old S1 in tri config on an MP1. No more bike swapping. I can get it through the shop with my team discount, and if I'm going to be on it for like eight hours a week...
Big shower with 2 heads is a requirement for us too, or at least enough space to add a second head.

unfortunately here nothing is hitting the market because of Covid

If so, which coffee maker gives you the most bang for the buck??

In that metric, none of these recently-discussed devices can possibly be the answer.

Did a bunch of yardwork this morning so it's presentable if the landlord comes to look at that downed fence. It is not on Strava.

Maybe someday I can wrap my head around the actual scale of the event. It's mind-boggling that the entire side of the mountain just...slid off.

Hey kissTheApex - have you used any guide bushings on your router table? I'm trying to figure out how to use a threaded Porter Cable bushing (for a dovetail template) on the table, but none of the included inserts is the right is the right size (1 3/8" I think) and I've been stumped in searches online. I do have a Bosch quick change adapter for the router base plate, and that'll accept the PC bushing, but nothing for the table.

The average speed for my re-mousing/infusion doesn't seem to be too good. I was the first one in and the last one out this morning. Four other patients came and went while I plodded along.

I guess there's the expectation that patients wear masks now. Many (but not all) of the people in the building were wearing them. But I don't have a mask so I was a rebel.

No I haven’t. . I’ve looked at them A few years back in case I needed and it looks like this Has been in my wishlist, but I can’t remember if it would work with the base that goes in the table.

Mentions do not seem to be working again.

Damn. Yeah, that's what I have for the router base, but I don't see a way of affixing it to the table plate.

If I can't find a way to fit the bushings, maybe I'll see if I can find a bit bearing with the correct OD.

yeah, oversized bearing was going to be my suggestion. Whiteside has them in pretty much in all sizes for their pattern bits.

I'll let you know when I get everything dialed in. Should be able to get here in 2 days from NY state, maybe 1 day if you fuel up on espresso along the way.

I talked to a guy at Whole Latte Love and he recommended it over the higher priced units so I bought it. He said it was a workhorse and a half and would last forever.
