I have a buddy who took a job just outside Atlanta before thanksgiving. Before he left he was giving us the business about being in a nice warm climate for the winter. He called me yesterday to cry about having the day off due to snow and ice. Being from new jersey, I was real sympathetic . Bwaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

I'll just bet you were! We've gotten a fresh 3" or so and for some reason the road crews decided not to plow overnight. With the previous salt on the road it turned into a knd of slimy substance, slippery and very sloppy, lot's washer fluid required.

Default How to Brew Coffee From a Race Car Engine!

NOPE! It's gone from the roads, but my front yard is STILL completely white and 3" thick! It's melted into pretty solid ice on top though.

HOWSOMEVER... I want this SPEEDSTER ESPRESSO MAKER... only $7,000!!! (click image for manufacturer details...):

Fox News Article here: How to Brew Coffee From a Race Car Engine



Features
  • Construction in stainless steel only, including frame, also the black powder coated parts. Wish it came in all CHROME!
  • Fully new developed double boiler system in stainless steel
  • Completely new designed group in stainless with high neck
  • Electronic temperature controllers driving solid state relays on both boilers, PID on coffee boiler, no moving parts
  • Steam boiler equipped with a heat-exchanger to pre-heat the water going into the coffee boiler.
  • Diffuser in POM plastic, doesn`t get dirty as soon, easy to clean and doesn`t affect the water temperature on its last path towards the coffee. Diffuser is easily removable.
  • No screw to hold group screen, yet screen and rubber gasket are easily removable through openings in the bottom plate of the group to reach the sides of the rubber gasket ring
  • Self bleeding group. That's gotta be good!
  • Group solenoid valve in stainless only
  • 0.6mm jet. I wonder if you can rejet this thing?
  • Progressive pre infusion cylinder, spring loaded chromed piston shaft actually moves up through body panel during extraction. WHOA!
  • External commercial grade rotation pump with motor
  • Two different temperatures of hot water available through one switch
  • Activation of group by small lever with shift gate: off-infuse-brew
  • Strong and long lasting steam power, steam tip with 4 holes. 4 HOLES!
  • Filter holders with teflon coating on inside
  • Drain tray adjustable in height. That's good... I have several mugs...

I hear they're coming out with a V-Twin model, too!

Wow! Hope it's got a 4-barrel Holley and a big-block for that! Where are the headers?

No snow here for a while. Still trying to shake off my 'runny nose', which is more a hacking cough at present. Felt well enough to tinker for a short while. Fitted my cut-price Kuryakyn LED tail-light (dropped on that by chance) and took the tourpak off so I can fit my custom LED red lights to it.

Sorry to talk dirty, with all this bike stuff, but this is the first 'work' I've been able to do for weeks.

I thought I'd keep the vein going:

I slide myself into you,
so soft so warm,
I feel your tongue upon my skin
keeping me from harm
I feel so lucky, love at first sight.
...I tried to restrain myself
When I saw you on that night
we mesh so well
I love being in you
At first you were so tight
As I moved in side of you
and you on me
I knew we were meant to be
I am so glad I found you
If people only knew
This is not a dirty poem
Its about a damn SHOE!

Ok guys bet your minds out of the gutter!!!!
