The alternative would have been roasting coffee on the lab roaster, getting about 6 pounds per hour (vs. closer to 75 pounds per hour max on the production machine). I'm glad things didn't come to that.

Last week Thursday part of the roaster failed (the plumber who put the part in a few months ago screwed something up, the original part lasted nearly 2 decades). Today the replacement part arrived and I successfully put that in myself (needed to buy a tool, the person at the hardware store was very helpful). For the days in between, I used a combination of items that were never intended to be used together to glue the broken part together well enough to work until the replacement part arrived.

I once asked a student how his cat was and he answered, "my cat is bad."

I thought I was done roasting coffee for the day, but then an order for another 25 pounds came in so #itsroastingtime

UPS tracking: Departure Scan
Me: Yeah!
UPS tracking 5 minutes later: Arrival Scan at the same place.
Me: So you loaded the box onto a truck, drove it around the block, and brought it back to the same place?

The recent shipment of sloth mugs is almost sold out. Only 1 sloth mug left. Will reorder if possible.

Saw fine print in a watch advertisement advising potential buyers to not operate the watch between 9PM and 3AM (if you do, the watch will break). This seems like a strange and oddly specific failure mode for a timepiece.

Dinner should probably have been for 2-3 people, but I don't know how to make it smaller and the cat doesn't go for human food so I'm just going to have to eat it.

Or is this the style these days?

I've just noticed that the keys on this keyboard that display both the shifted and unshifted characters have the shifted characters below the unshifted ones. That hasn't caused me any typing difficulty since it's not like I look at the keyboard to find what I'm trying to type but it's an odd choice.

I thought I recognized the name on today's web order and sure enough, the coffee is going to another person who roasts coffee (and has used my software to help with that).

Why do pundits think anybody wants a Facebook replacement? Facebook has always been an awful confusing mess of a platform and anybody moving to something else should probably want that something else to, I don't know, NOT replicate the worst aspects of what they're leaving?

Lots of bad/lazy email scams today.

It's sad that if we got real life Angelic Layer today it wouldn't be a secret plot to collect data to create better prosthetic limbs and restore mobility to paralyzed people. It would be a secret plot to collect data to sell more advertisements.

I guess I'm not using that arm.

Today I impressed a grocery checker by knowing how much the item that didn't scan cost.

https://video.typica.us has been getting a ton of new follows since the 2.0 update.

What if all of the Star Trek made after Enterprise is also just a Riker holo-novel?

I keep telling the cat she's going to fall off the couch if she keeps rolling around at the edge of it. She should have taken the warning.
