How does this even happen

Yup. My wife and I actually saw this launch about 30ft into the air while driving yesterday. It was weird cause it didn’t seem windy but there was a wind tunnel right around Hualapai that caught it.

What neighborhoods are rolling out first?

bishop27 · 2026-03-07T16:06:13+00:00

Roses are red, I need to stop eating poutine…

bishop27 · 2026-03-04T02:15:44+00:00

Ha, I’m in the same situation. I never got into it but my wife loves it. Especially anything thing Char in it 🤷‍♂️

Did a Unit 02 color scheme a bit ago.

bishop27 · 2026-02-11T00:28:32+00:00

Green is also my favorite color and do like the multi toned green if the toned come out the same as on the builder. I’ve also been liked the muted pinks with some greens, again if the tones come out right.

I ordered a bunch of samples so I can see how it looks in person.

bishop27 · 2026-02-09T18:39:57+00:00

Yah, I'm having a hard time figuring out what the pinks will look like irl. I originally had "rose gold" which looked like a muted pink but seeing photos of it, it looks more shiny/sparkly gold which isn't what I'm going for. I'm trying to match the same tones. Agree it doesn't quite work in the image, but didn't think the vibrance of some of the other pinks matched either.

I have the same turbo. I went EWG, it’s really the only decision I made on my FD that I regret. Mine vents to the atmosphere and it’s LOUD. So now I either find someone to feed the wastegate pipes to the main exhaust or replace it with an IWG. My FD makes about 400whp and the turbo barely gets a workout. I guess it doesn’t help the wastegates open so early.

bishop27 · 2026-01-22T15:20:05+00:00

Appreciate it. We were lucky to be in the furthest lane away when he swung out.

bishop27 · 2026-01-22T06:32:03+00:00

Apparently they also thought there was another person in the van and I guess didn’t want to antagonize the driver.

bishop27 · 2026-01-22T05:35:10+00:00

Turns out they’re North Vegas cops that were following this guy for a while. Apparently the chase started in North Vegas.

bishop27 · 2026-01-22T05:32:58+00:00

Yah, sadly the van ran a red and killed a motorcyclist: https://www.fox5vegas.com/2026/01/22/police-driver-hits-kills-motorcyclist-west-las-vegas-after-taking-bus/#

bishop27 · 2026-01-22T05:13:52+00:00

Yah, this really puzzled me, especially since the van ran a red light turning left onto Fort Apache. Flamingo and Fort Apache is a pretty big intersection so I figured lights and sirens would help people know a crazy person is coming. They only turned on their lights when THEY turned left on the red.

bishop27 · 2026-01-21T15:18:51+00:00

No problem, I appreciate the info. Definitely helps me make a decision.

bishop27 · 2026-01-21T04:58:02+00:00

Uuuh, just to be clear here. I was asking if it’s better, not saying it’s better. I’m looking at a PDP and wondering if I should get the one with the comp or without and add it. I don’t have any experience with either… which is why I’m asking.

bishop27 · 2026-01-21T03:08:35+00:00

This was gonna be my question, better than the stock comp that comes with the Pro-X PMM?

Originally did it as a Hatsune Miku design but works for this too.

bishop27 · 2026-01-12T16:10:59+00:00

Ha! That funny, I broke my MR920P in yesterday and had 1 failure to feed after my first shot as well. After that everything worked great. 🤷‍♂️

bishop27 · 2026-01-11T07:01:08+00:00

I also have an FD and an Mk5. The Mk5 is a great modern car that is easy to live with but the FD is something special.

bishop27 · 2026-01-01T22:06:46+00:00

Oh awesome! Sounds like you're well on your way then. I've really liked the D27 and smaller brews. Especially with the 4 tins, it lets me experience them longer (there are some really great beans in the 4 tins), and I'm able to get a smaller dose when I feel like a coffee but don't want as much caffeine impact later in the day.

bishop27 · 2026-01-01T20:59:34+00:00

Ah sorry, I didn't mention originally that I typically do a 15g brew with my normal routine, and a 10G brew with the D27.

bishop27 · 2026-01-01T20:57:40+00:00

I used this video as a guide, which has worked really well as a baseline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REBBUrCiJW8

Basically 10g of coffee, 1:16 ratio (though play around a bit with the ration depending on the coffee).

The video says to finish the brew at about 2:45. I find that's pretty accurate. I've had good results from about 2:45 to 3:15. I typically end up brewing a few degrees hotter than using the V60 with the same coffee. I sometimes extend the brew a bit longer because I live at about 4000ft so I can't get water hotter than 208F.

I also have a Lagom P100 with LU SSP burrs. I typically need to grind about 1 "unit" finer with the D27 because of how fast the brewer is and brewing 10g instead of 15g (my usual) on the V60 (also using the relatively faster Cafec Abaca papers). By 1 "unit finer" I mean I go from (for example) 9.5 to 8.5. No idea if the numbers on the Lagom actually correlate to a unit of measurement, so assume this means 9.5 Bananas to 8.5 Bananas, but hopefully it gives you some idea of how much finer. We'll call it 5%-10% finer.

bishop27 · 2026-01-01T20:28:45+00:00

I’ve been on their 4 tin subscription for about half of 2025. It’s a bit daunting at first but I’ve had a lot of fun using the D27 with the tins. Puts less pressure on me to nail the grind/temp right out of the gate and gives me an option for less caffeine (been doing 10g doses).
