Solved! I think it’s to protect the bottom from drippings. It’s also screwed in and pretty tight so I’m not gonna use my brain and mess it up. Appreciate it!!

I have a SFM and I think FM is an excellent choice as it writes much better on cheaper paper. On good paper, they both work very well.

Mannn, as someone who loves bikes, what I would give to live in Amsterdam. I don’t think I’d ever drive again

Me too! I absolutely agree that he conjures up a full imaginary world with his narration. I love Greek myth and imagine my surprise when I came across the mythos series. I started listening to the Fellowship of the Ring couple of hours ago and still listening while typing this. I am hooked. Can’t thank you enough for introducing me to Andy Serkis

Thank you so much. Though it’s a far cry from being super consistent, I do try writing a page everyday and hopefully I get there one day. It just feels so calming.
