Other Hobbies (passions, obsessions?)
I used to sail, mostly small one-design (Turnabouts/N-10s, I've heard these are only in New England, also 420s and someday I'd like to get a Laser, but I'm too small), in local regattas. I also used to be into skateboarding (very badly), and model rocketry, and skiing. I'd really love to get into ph...

Rocky grind setting #10 not selectable?

Compak K-10 grinder, availability, opinions?

The Best Shot You've Ever Had
I had just woken from an afternoon nap and decided I'd get my caffeine fix before heading off to work for the evening. I fired up the machine and decided to try the new "Northern Style" blend I'd picked up the day before, which was roasted the day before that. I just left the grinder where it had
