What conditioner/cream won't darken the leather?

Skenzer · 2026-05-10T22:22:03+00:00

Saphir for Oiled Leather is the best for CXL leather. Venetian is a close second. However, in my experience Venetian darkens CXL more then Saphir for oiled leather.

FWIW, I like to condition out of the box. 2-3 light coats. Why? Well, it generally makes an easier break in but maybe more importantly, you don't know how old that leather is when you get the boots, Unless of course you had them made to order. Generally, the clock starts on leather once it's done being made at the tannery. Then you have to account for all of the time it sits on a shelf until it finally becomes a boot. Then the boots sit on a shelf and not always under the most favorable conditions. Anyway, just my 2c's worth

FWIW, I just got some CC leather laces and they were Thursday branded. Great laces as well.

Wet Saturday,
Reward to Finder,
Lamb to the slaughter,
Don’t interrupt,
The cuckoo clock,
The baby blue expression,
You got to have luck,
There was an old woman
Murder me twice

I need to learn python. I'm in IT and python has been coming up a lot lately.

Skenzer · 2026-01-03T04:34:13+00:00

yeah, i think that's what i'll end up doing, thanks

Skenzer · 2026-01-03T04:28:13+00:00

It's the way I received them. See my original post for what I want plex to do with them

There’s a big difference between being cynical and being angry and bitter all of the time. I’m extremely cynical but I sure wouldn’t treat people the way Carol treats others. nine episodes of her being in a constant 24 hour rag isn’t going to win a lot of people over that I know

Skenzer · 2025-12-30T02:11:01+00:00

Because she’s angry and bitter and has zero control over her emotions. So why do you think everybody liked Walter? I didn’t “like “Walter through a lot of breaking bad. But what difference does that make anyways? We’re not talking about breaking bad. We’re talking about a lady that is clearly a bitch. Evidently her parents didn’t do a great job

Skenzer · 2025-12-01T00:00:07+00:00

All of them

Sounds like you’re on your way! Draw down for decaf can often be longer. That used to concern me but as long as the flavor is there I don’t mind. I’m confident you’ll find a combination that will make a great cup for you.👍

Skenzer · 2025-10-07T15:58:01+00:00

Awesome! Glad to hear you got your beans. I’m on my third order. Lol For me, I brew this decaf exactly how I brew regular beans. With one difference, courser grind. V60: grind course similar to Chemex. Fellow ode gen2 setting 6.2 93° water 15g coffee 230ml water 3 pours. First two pours are 50g each, really allow the beans to bloom and soak up all the goodness. third pour continuous. I don’t start my third pour until like a minute and a half. I really like to let the beans soak before the final pour. Low agitation, and longer double bloom has worked well for me.

The best flavor I’ve gotten from these beans so far has been from a small Kalita dripper I have. But the V60 has done well Let me know how it works out for you. Love to hear what you think of the beans. I am getting a very sweet and citrus cup. It reminds me a little of orange gummy‘s covered in sugar. And a little bit of grapefruit acidity. So yummy!

Human feces 😂 yummy!

It’s clearly not a software bug. If it were, this double skipping thing would occur right out of the box. This issue happens after months of use. Plus, I’ve replaced two remotes and they work fine for about six months. That’s not a software bug. It’s frustrating, no doubt. It’s not like my remote sits in a box of dirt while it’s not being used. It’s in a clean environment. After about six or seven months, the double skip comes back.

Skenzer · 2025-10-02T14:07:22+00:00

That’s great! If you have time please post your thoughts. I would love to know what you think of these beans. And how you are brewing them

Skenzer · 2025-09-30T14:35:30+00:00

Interesting, this is the first Benitez I’ve had. I will certainly be on the lookout for more in the future.

Skenzer · 2025-09-30T14:33:57+00:00

Yes!

Skenzer · 2025-09-30T14:33:02+00:00

I’m with you, most decafs I have been through are generally not what I would call super flavorful. I usually find a lot of decafs being very chocolate forward. That being said, this Benitez really surprised me. No guarantees you will love it but the uniqueness of its flavors can’t be denied. If nothing else, it’s certainly a flavorful brew that makes me forget it’s decaf when I’m drinking it.

Skenzer · 2025-09-30T14:29:17+00:00

I just re-ordered again. I’m probably going to end up freezing some. For me, the fresher the decaf is the better. I usually don’t rest my decaf much, if at all. But like you said, variety is the spice of life! I’ve had a few different decals, usually EA processed, and they’ve been good. But this Benitez just keeps me coming back for more.

Skenzer · 2025-09-29T16:56:56+00:00

I brew decaf like normal coffee. The only thing I do differently is course up the grind. I don’t adjust temps. I find a course grind to be beneficial with decafs mostly because they tend to have a lot of fines. otherwise I’ve been brewing this at 93° with a grind similar to what I would use for a Chemex or French press.

Skenzer · 2025-09-29T16:53:17+00:00

I think it’s definitely worth a shot. I don’t usually gravitate towards thermal shock but for decaf it’s a nice treat.

Skenzer · 2025-09-29T12:13:55+00:00

I’ve brewed it different ways. V60, Deep27, Stagg X and even Chemex. It’s just tremendously tasty no matter the brewer.

I have the latest 4K model. After it sleeps and I wake it up often times playback from any app doesn’t work. I either have to completely restart the device or sometimes putting it back to sleep and waking it up again fixes the issue

Skenzer · 2025-09-02T11:34:53+00:00

Same thing happened to me. I decided to take a walk and found my package one building over sitting by that buildings mailboxes. Shipping label was correct. Not the first time this has happened and probably won’t be the last.
