The big reveal was not disappointing!

Our Code Warrior did not disappoint. The new release of v/3.0.60 was a significant improvement over prior releases. Most of my whines have been addressed as Matt responds to input from about 5 folks testing his changes.

  • The temperature curves are now aligned properly with the event data
  • Some of the display data had been hard to read and he resolved that with either bold or larger font
  • Missing roast events have been re-activated
  • The program has a very solid feel that can only come from being confident that things are working as they should!

Apparently there are still a few issues with Recipes (automated roasting) that have to be resolved. There are a couple guys doing that.

In order to do the testing I roasted 4 batches of Ethiopia Guji Anasora that have been laying in the tubs for way too long. It's sitting in the fridge cooling its heels waiting for me to put labels on it and deliver it to the needy campers of SKP Saguaro Co-op. Hope it's good!

Below is the start of a roast with an Overlay in the background. Serves as a guide for power changes and control roast temperatures:

Uh-oh... the 'season' has started!

We (mmm... I!  ) drifted thru the whole summer and didn't give much thought to it ending. Hard to realize summer is officially over in about 10 days when we are still hitting temps in the 100s! But there it is.  Cruising-friends-turned-RVers who publish conchscooter.blogspot.com are in the Southern hemisphere dealing with van renovations. That's about as close as we get to being on the road. Well- not counting driving to appointments in Tucson. Appointments in Benson don't count as the engine hardly gets warmed up before we arrive!  -----------------------  And today, as I type this post, is the 25th anniversary of 9-11 . The Admiral and I were in the Herrington Harbor Marina in Maryland on that infamous day. We were prepping Goosebumps so we could leave for points South. We needed haircuts and made our way across the street to the shop where we went mid-week. We stepped inside and were greeted by some very somber faces. The staff had the TV on and we stepped in abo...

'Tis the season...

 ... to sweat ! And complain. A lot.  It turned hot. Then this week it eased a bit. But it's coming back very soon! Hard to remember to check on sunrises and sunsets but here are what I managed to put together... Sunrise off to the Southeast... ... and a sunset off to the West (where else?!) The craziness in Washington DC has caused annual visitors to disappear from the park early as fuel prices climb to all-time highs. If you have a big 40'+ motor home or you're pulling a heavy 38'+ 5th wheel, either of which sucks up the diesel fuel, you need to take precautions to minimize fuel expense! Diesel was priced at $4.99/gal this week.

Monsoons? What monsoons?!

Every year I go through this anxious anticipation. "When are they ever going to start?!" Then that is followed by something like "when will this ever end?!" It's kinda' like how they joked about it in circa 1950s USMC: "there are only 2 good duty stations: the last one and the next one!" In the mean time life plods on and grocery prices rise faster than Social Security checks. A few years ago the Admiral was paying something like $100 - $175 for the week's food & necessities from Safeway. Now she's paying about $400 for the week. Yikes! And no, we aren't eating a different mix of food: we've been on a (sort of) vegetarian regimen since October 2013- it's called a pescatarian diet: veggies plus cold water fish (like salmon) once or twice per week.  Update: The Admiral shopped at Safeway today (23 Jul 2026). Sockeye salmon was $27/lb. They don't even carry king salmon. King salmon is caught of the coast of California and ...
