Scorpios? They forgive from time to time, they just never forget.

And, be very very careful of waxed shower and bathtub floors!. They have even been known to grease the outer knob on the bedroom door after they've entered. :shock: :twisted:
Everyone should own one! :D

Absolutely gorgeous, houdina!

My apologies for being a little tardy in adding my congratulations - it's been 16 - 20 hour days at Rescue the past week!

I do have a suggestion for soothing your domestic relations: http://www.cabelas.com/gun-inventory---sidney---browning---474545-renhipwr.shtml Remember - it's for her.

Add this link http://www.corneredcat.com/ and brace yourself for the arrival of some custom leather. . .

Who knows, there may be some common ground: if you can learn to love her with the smell of burnt VihtaVuori N340 and Hoppes #9, and encroaching sophistry in reloading equipment she might let you live with your new lever! You'll stay in the kitchen, and she'll take over the garage.

Just a thought.

YMMV. . .

And, why yes; I'm Scorpio (pagan, too - Scandinavian)!

(Only the ceaseless labors of the Elektra MCaL kept either Kathryn or me on our feet and getting things done the week past - now I really want some range time!)

Current blend is 2 parts Kenya AA, and 1 part (each) Costa Rican and Sumatran to FC - no further.

Life is good.

Congrats on the machine. A fine machine at a fair price.
If it was really maintained by TMR, it should be in top condition.

And hey, it looks great. Who could complain about adding
a thing of beauty to the home?

Cool!
And while we're on the subject, I just want to give snaps here and now to my lovely Scorpio wife and her unwavering support of her partner's espresso obsession. Whenever I've hesitated about buying yet another piece of equipment, she always encouraged me to get what I felt I needed. This from a person who at the time I was building my espresso kit didn't even drink coffee.

A few years later when I finally figured out how to consistently pull a decent shot, she suddenly developed a taste for straight shots of unadulterated espresso going from zero to four shots a day in the space of a couple months.

Hmm.... :wink:

Your premium paid?

:!: If, by this purchase you had to let your life insurance policy lapse, I'd say you are safe...at least for awhile. :roll:

Gregg, it's a stretch by now--since you've had it for a year and a half, I reckon--but I have a great place to put it: my kitchen counter. I'd like to extend that offer to anyone else who might be having trouble with their spouse's reaction to all the machina.

FWIW, I also give kudos to my wife, who's welcomed our new VBM with open arms. Life is good...
