When moving out on my own I needed a coffee maker. I looked around and decided that a single cup maker was the thing for me. My brother had a Keurig machine. It is a pod coffee maker. I did a lot of research on pod makers and this thing is the best one out there for the money. I figured a single cup maker was best for a single guy since making a full pot or half a pot was going to be wasteful. At 30-40 cents a pod its not that costly and the coffee is damn tasty. A lot of coffee roasters now make pods in the Keurig K-cup format.  Amazon carries the machine and Costco has a heck of a deal on it as well, much better than the Amazon deal. (and its a slightly different model a bit quieter)

I bought this brand new in 2002. I am asking $400. Brand new this smoker would run $1550 + freight from Houston texas. It weighs around 900 Pounds.

It is a Klose BBQ pit/Smoker. The main cooking chamber is 48″longx20″ in diameter. It is all 1/4″ steel, has a offset firebox and a firegrate for the main chamber that is removable. There are 1/2 depth shelves for the main chamber that sit above the main grates as well.

As seen here Klose pit

It is is fairly good condition. The firebox has some rust, this happens to most offsets due to the heat in the firebox, they must be repainted every few years or be kept covered in our climate. Located in Seattle.

While we were at Disneyland we happened upon The Queen while passing through the castle one day. She was very wicked and stayed in character the whole time, I was fortunate enough to get some good pictures. A few of the kids around were hesistant to even go up to get her autograph.

At Disneyland the kids ate lots of junk food and ice cream was on the menu.

Usually after about 4-5 hours they were tired out and complaining and whining up a storm. At that point all I wanted was a beer.

I just got back from my first vacation in a very long time. The first part of this was at my In-laws farm in California. The second day there My father in-law was burning some tree parts that had piled up and I had the opportunity to take some pictures. The turned out pretty good.

The pictures of the fire look very cool I think and Uncle Bob on the tractor is an interesting view into rural America. I cant believe he gets that close to the burn pile on the tractor I was standing 40-50 feet back and it was hot as hell.

What the heck! I hate junk mail. But i didn’t realize that the each adult in the United States gets 41 pounds of it a year. Now there is a service that supposedly will get rid of it for you. 41pounds.org I haven’t signed up yet but for $41 for 5 years it might not be a bad deal.

With just a few minutes and $41, you’re finished — for five years! You can sit back and enjoy the benefits — and the satisfaction of knowing that valuable resources will no longer be wasted trying to sell you goods and services you don’t want. You’ll also enjoy the peace of mind that comes from reducing your exposure to identity fraud.

Meanwhile, for each person who signs up for our service, we donate more than 1/3 of our fee to community and environmental organizations. These organizations plant trees, protect watersheds and strengthen our communities.

The Wall Street Journal covered them a while back. I guess its legit.

I also need to get rid of some old cell phones and computer trash, and stumbled upon this site GreenDisk looks like they might have a pretty decent service as well. And it looks like they are local.
