Hello from the great Northwest. I started down the coffee rabbit hole about ten years ago with an inexpensive espresso machine. Since then I’ve had various machines and grinders as my skill level improved. I eventually took classes and became a certified barista. Most recently I started down...

Setup

Or This During most of my working years, I was up at 3:30 in the morning and started my day at 5. I never drank coffee. Not sure why. About six years ago I became fascinated or obsessed with the science of coffee. I got my barista certificate a few years ago just for fun. This is my current...

A 1954 Seeburg jukebox that I restored from the ground up. It's the only thing in the house older than me and my wife.

I don’t know why but throughout my entire career my alarm was set for no later than 3:30 in the morning. Everyone I worked with drank coffee. It was only after ending my career that I became fascinated with the science of coffee. I take barista courses and love making coffee for my wife, family...

It’s 1954 Again Hi.When I was a young broadcaster raising a family, many of my single cohorts had jukeboxes. I always wanted one but we put our saving goals ahead of material stuff. Now that we have reached our financial goals, my wife and I decided it was our turn. I spent seven months...

Hello! I joined this forum about nine years ago when I could see the writing on the wall at my job of thirteen years. It was the most awesome feeling to walk out of that building for the last time, knowing that I didn't have to worry about having money and making money without the corporate...

Well!!! Guitar freaks like me? Yes, I have a Casino and a Texan. I guess Beatle nuts can figure out why. In my working days I was a broadcaster and had the honor of interviewing people from all walks of life, including great players like Clapton, Harrison and McCartney. I got to hang out with...

Yes. No more! I guess I could go back to work tomorrow but this is such a strange and wonderful feeling. Maybe I'll feel different when the neighbors martini wears off in the morning, but right now....wow how liberating! I was under contract until the end of the year but since I was such a model...

Re: Well here I am update!!! Funny how things happen. I joined this great group, went to work this morning and I parted ways with my company after 12 years. I am a free man and get paid through March for all of the BS that they put me through in recent months. I can't tell you how awesome it...

Hello, I have been reading this board for quite some time and decided to join the club. I am seriously thinking about calling it quits. My wife and I have been putting away cash since we married 25 years ago. Our home is paid for and we have no outstanding debt. The kids are through college and...
