Don't need it today, but it looks like I can make 1 more batch of Holiday Blend and then I'm out of Kenya. It sold well beyond expectations.

Did plumbing.

which is a shame because after today I could use a drink. Maybe I have some scotch?

Forgot my beer at work, don't want to make a special trip to get that. Guess I won't try that tonight after all.

Buildings should be designed with access hatches around all infrastructure elements. Would make repairs/upgrades easier/cheaper/less disruptive.

I don't know where they're selling it, but the product name is "Cuppa Joe" and it's from Racine Brewing Company if anybody wants to try it. I'll be opening a bottle tonight after work.

The brewer who bought the coffee recently dropped off a couple bottles for me to enjoy so I asked how much beer he gets out of 6 pounds of coffee. The answer was 3 barrels.

Played Musynx for a while last night. I can't seem to get my hands to learn the default controls for that game but L1, X, O, R1 works well for me. Don't know what I'll do for 6K mode. Maybe rip a controller apart and wire up a proper row of buttons?

Something is wrong with the new pump 🙁

My plumber thinks he has an appropriate adapter so I can just have new ones instead of trying to get these off. I don't have the muscles for it (or a vise to hold the part in place so I don't have to work against myself).

Trying to replace this old pump head and the only explanation for this is that some service tech somewhere along the line mistook this for a Sega console.

It probably was a Magmax cabinet just with the volume turned really low/off. I've been trying to remember what that game was for years.

Was there ever a sequel to Magmax? I feel like I've played something really similar as a kid at a shop near where I went to 6th grade (especially with the collecting robot parts to turn your craft into a walking mecha) but I thought it was more spacey.

Why is my tumblr getting new followers? Oh, it's a bot. Of course it's a bot. Nevermind then. Woohoo indeed.

It's always a pain to find replacement suppliers and rework product lines, but that's a short term pain.

I have to fire one of my candy suppliers. You have to place Christmas orders months in advance only for a large chunk of the order to not show up, what does show up getting packed horrendously, and then also getting expired product that they're not refunding. I can deal with the first two up to a point, but that last one is inexcusable. Earlier this year I fired a tea supplier over the same sort of failure to fix their mistakes.
