I have been gimping around without an ACL in that knee since then. Finally got to be too much. I've had 3 surgeries on my right knee and getting arthritis in my right hip. Last knee surgery was when I was 52. That was the last time I was able to run and the last time I played soccer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right knee will need to be replaced too but not for a few more years, I hope. I never let it slow me down much, but did not play soccer after the first major blow out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete H Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Looking at getting a burr grinder and possibly replacing my Bunn with a Technivorm. Looking at a Baratza encore grinder. Any owners out there with an opinion? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Hey @Pete H they had good reviews at amazon for that * baratza, but I'd already fallen in love with one made by Bodum. Two have lasted me almost twenty years now and both those twelve step places did one thing...... made me addicted to coffee!! That Bodum electric burr is getting towards a bill last time I looked but nothing else I've witnessed (& I used to have some friends in the high tax brackets) would grind as evenly and consistently even sized grounds as what I use! The newer one I have is more quiet than the first so as long as I can get good beans I'm Happy! Edited January 18, 2020 by JohnJ * 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 About nap time for me. 2AM is WAAAAAAY too early to be up. But... No plans for the day. Wife is going to Tucson. Her sister had a lump-ectomy and wife is going to see how she is doing. I have the house overnight. No wild party, even if it sounds that way. Have coffee, so, I may be up for a few [more minutes]. Coffee ground in this burr mill tastes different. I guess the spice mill cooked the beans more than I thought. This dark roast Kona is much less "dark" tasting. Calling for low/mid 70's next couple days. I'm good with that. I'd be fine with lows in mid 60's and highs in the mid 80's, depending on R/H. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought of you this week in Denver as family and friends admired the airport structures.
