I bought myself my pre-retirement bottle of beer. I'm looking at retiring in two years timeframe when I'm medicare age. Fortunately the Utopias will age well until then.

During this time of year, with shipping electronics they can be exposed to wicked low temps. When electronics are exposed to freezing temps, I allow them to thaw before applying power. Similar concept to a refrigerator or freezer that has been transported on it's side, it needs to be upright to...

Way back in the day when I worked at Burger King in high school, the uniforms that we wore would reek of burger/grease stench, even after washing. What worked well was in the cold winter months is to put the uniform, including shoes, in a cold garage overnight.

So he just Paroled you, congrats! I was recently paroled by my Cardiologist!

Anytime a Dr gifts you with a single malt either means that you died and gone to heaven or your Dr has "paroled you", either way congrat's!

My wife and I grew up on well water, our first house used village well water which was much softer then well water. Later on the village migrated to Lake Michigan water which which seems 10x softer water then the village well water. Current day I plummed RO water to my refrigerators and use a...

More like a creamy cold brew coffee, not as caffeinated as an espresso. There are commercial examples for sale in can form at the stores.

Cold brew infused with nitrogen and forced through a nitro tap, same concept as Guinnees beer served on beer gas (75% nitrogen/25% CO2) which gives the cold brew a sweeter/smoother taste. This is accomplished by a higher pressure of nitrogen forcing the cold brew coffee through small holes in...

My new cold brew nitro setup. I brew the cold brew in my OXO cold brew coffee maker using Cameron's beans from Costco and serving it with my UKEG nitro cold brew coffee maker infused with nitrogen.

I believe it looked like the photo below, I havn't seen in over a year.

My all time favorite coffee beans from Costco is the Kona blend (I forgot from what company) that I only see it close to the holidays. It does not stay on the shelves very long.

Congratulations, the "real" test however is how it holds up over time.

Since you are starting with a 1/2" hole and enlarging it to 1", the bit will not be under much stress.

From experience from my bits, the drilled hole is the same size as the marking provided you have the bit squared up.

And don't run your drill at high speed. When getting close to the size hole that you need, take your time and only do 1 step at a time and measure between steps since you can't reverse the drill and make the hole smaller.:oops:
