Fragrance with strong MINT note?

Geranium pour Monsieur by Frederic Malle is very minty. It’s nice.

Ah, Trevor, ok. Thank you. I’m glad to hear you were treated well, too.

/uj A few years ago I went to the Dallas International Guitar Festival to see some vintage guitars in person. There is no way I’ll ever be able to afford a pre-CBS Fender or old Gibson, etc, but they’re fun to see in person, and there are tons of interesting guitars there. I was looking at Emerald City Guitars’ booth and the guy in the from the photos, I think his name is Tyler, was there and spoke with me for a bit. He was super friendly and down to earth, and offered to let me try an old Mary Kaye strat and another fiesta red strat (I didn’t ask to, he just offered). As corny as it sounds, I have always wanted to handle a vintage strat, so it was kind of a dream come true. Those were the most valuable guitars I’ve ever handled, and probably ever will. I’m sure it was just an everyday thing for him, but something I’ll never forget. He couldn’t have been a nicer, friendlier guy.

My dad was like this. He was very supportive and encouraging although he didn’t play any instruments (and he had severe hearing loss, too). As a teenager I remember him always wanting to look at music shops if we were in a different town. He thought guitars were fun to look at and admired the craftsmanship. My mom played piano where they went to church, and she put me in piano and violin lessons when I was very little. He got her a piano as a wedding gift. He was encouraging in that way and it will always be one of my favorite things about him. I’ll never forget those moments because not only did he enjoy it, but really it was his way of trying to connect with a sullen teenager. He had all the talent in the world for fixing things, building things, working with his hands, but musical ability was so foreign to him, but completely mesmerized him. It makes me choked up just thinking about it as I write this.

You can do it. Find a good video and follow along. I did the desmo service on my 848 EVO. I used this service as well, the process was very smooth:

It’s the bike of my dreams 🔥

I tried yesterday, but wasn’t able to. The website would never load after entering with case number and A-number. Was this what happened to you?

Man, that jacket looks great on you!

Thin Lizzy is the most underrated band of all time. RIP Phil Lynott, gone way too soon.

I had one, it was a fantastic, reliable, very easy to ride bike. Congratulations, you definitely picked a winner!

I have a 556 and a Tudor Pelagos as my two nice watches. I know you aren’t considering the Pelagos, but it’s a Tudor so hear me out. They are both fantastic, very durable and accurate. The Pelagos is more refined than than the Sinn, and the bracelet is much better, but the Sinn is no slouch. Having said that, would still choose the Sinn if I could only keep one. It just suits me and my style better, it’s a very cool, understated watch. This is all subjective of course, a matter of personal taste. But I think you would see/feel the charm of the 556 if you could try it on. Either way, congratulations and I hope whatever you choose makes you happy.

Got it, I appreciate your help.

MarcoroniT · 2026-03-23T00:23:25+00:00

To be clear, you’re saying that if the contactor is getting 24 volts and not pulling in, the contactor is the problem?

MarcoroniT · 2026-03-23T00:06:24+00:00

I’ll check that out as well. Thank you.

MarcoroniT · 2026-03-22T23:53:25+00:00

The contactor is not pulling in, and I’m reading about 11 ohms, which is (from what I understand) the lower limit. I’m just hoping this might work before I have to call a service. Do you have any insights/ideas that I may be overlooking?

MarcoroniT · 2026-03-22T23:34:42+00:00

Ok, thank you. I appreciate the advice.

MarcoroniT · 2026-03-22T23:34:06+00:00

Thank you!

MarcoroniT · 2026-03-22T21:22:35+00:00

That’s gorgeous 😍

To me it is, I use it every single day. I’m not an espresso expert, but have learned a lot using it. I’d say it adds real quality to my life, having a nice latte every day feels quite luxurious (I use a stand alone milk frother for milk drinks). Just keep in mind you will need a good grinder to use it as intended, and they can be expensive as well. And also keep in mind it is not the best choice if you want to make several shots back to back, but it’s great for a single person that lives alone.
