I bought a Freshroast 800 coffee Roaster from Burman Coffee and it'll roast about 8 ounces at a time. Really simple. There are cheaper roasters but I went for the good one I always have fresh roasted coffee every morning.

Fill the hopper with the green coffee, set the timer, 3 minute cool off. Bag it up. About 8 hours later coffee is ready to drink.

The regulator, hose, and solenoid for the MIG conversion on my little Lincoln welder. Best part was that I was able to tie my Hilton Hotel account to my Amazon account and use hotel points to pay for them. The parts cost me nada.

I got tires for the V-Star the same way. Converted my IHG Rewards points to Amazon points and got the tires for free. Still had some points left over, if I remember correctly.

Today was a busy day! I ordered some new cigars to restock my humidor, I bought a chainsaw, brushcutter attachment for my weed eater and some extra stuff for running the chainsaw, and I had some trees dropped on my property...

I’m holding on to the IHG points because I have over a half million. Mrs.C and I may take an extended stay at Kona later this year. Hilton will help the hobbies.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, my ex lives in Captain Cook, a short drive south of Kona. We're still friends. When she moved there five years ago she sold me her soccer-mom SUV really cheap.

I bought some Impossible Sausage from the store a few days back and tried it tonight. it tasted pretty good - a lot better than tofu.
Its too expensive, though. Costs about twice as much as a good pork sausage in my area.

CS-R3 Dosta 2 Small.jpg

Well I have multiple bikes and my OCD won't allow me to wear mismatched helmets with my colored Bikes. I have 2 Red Bikes (HJC CS-R1 Red Paradox Helmet for those) and 1 Yellow Bike (HJC CS-R1 Dagger for that) and 1 Black Bike which I usually just wear a Veterans 1/2 Helmet. I travel a lot and take my bikes with me and I am tried of packing the Helmets, remembering where they are at etc. so I bought this. 1 Helmet matches any bike. Not the exact model I wanted but close enough. (I wanted the Inno but got the HJC-CS-R3 Dosta which uses the same shield as the R1's) Problem solved!

I bought one of those a couple months ago. It's a damn nice helmet for the price. I'd love to keep it for myself, but I'm giving it to my best friend, because he's about to start riding.
