The last time I sold silver(I had a couple thousand wirth of dimes I'd bought at $11), the price was $31. I had it stored in my parents' basement and they were moving, so I sold it. It was by lucky chance that the price was so high, It was at that time that I bought the silver dollars.

My parents wouldn't let me. I still have the collection.

Semi-related Q: how many of those needles are you using for your WDT? Since my shop is in shambles, I just drilled and popped 4 in to a cork. I had planned on doing 8 when I get around to a wood handle, but 4 seems to zip through the grounds pretty nicely, so I'm wondering if 8 is overkill. Side note: really good extractions after dial-in this morning. New beans, so I'm not sure how much to attribute to the new puck prep, but nice balance and better body than I'm accustomed to seeing.
I took a pic but BF isn't playing nice today and I can't attach the pic.

It's there now. It's a device to break up clumps from a coffee grinder. After the coffee is dosed into the portafilter, you stir it with the gizmo before tamping. Simple, but works great.

it was 33 for this mornings ride. About 5 miles into my ride this wind started. It was light riding into a wall of ice. Speed went from 18 to 13 and it didn’t matter what direction I pointed myself in.
At 15 miles I wanted to make the call of shame. First time in a long time I didn’t enjoy the ride at all.
Neighbor reached out to me this morning. He recently had cancer related surgery and won’t be able to ride his bike anymore. Asked me to try and find a buyer. 58 2015 Madone 2.1. Looks brand spanking new. Asking 500.00 for it. Wife hasn’t said no yet……

The eastern end of the Hiawatha at the East Portal Trailhead is the western end of the Olympian. So you can park at East Portal in Taft and do out and back rides on each. You need a good light. You hit the 1.66 mile tunnel (one of some 12 tunnels) as soon as you head west on the Hiawatha. There are no lights in the tunnel. And there are drainage channels on each side, so if you stray off the riding surface you will crash. I had 500 lumens and wish I had more. The website recommends at least 350. I think that’s low, but I have old eyes. And you knock off two states because East Portal is in MT and you cross into ID going west through the long tunnel.
Then when I got to the dry side of the mountains I had to sign a waiver to enter a tunnel. Luckily there was no rockfall as I rode through.
