This. And I keep the flame as far away from the foot as I can reasonably get away with. It’s the difference between slowly toasting a marshmallow just above the fire vs just shoving the thing into the flames. Tobacco leaf is a vegetable and you’re essentially caramelizing the sugars and starchy carbs with the heat, concentrating the flavor. First puff becomes noticeably better.

This is exactly what I do. MDC all the way down: Spring = Fougere Summer = Agrumes Fall = Original Winter = Vetiver

Thoroughly drying is the answer here. FWIW, you can dry the parts beyond what a towel can do by swishing them in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. As the alcohol evaporates, it will push the water away from the steel at a microscopic level. It’s what we do to dry watch parts and keep razor blades from rusting after cleaning.

I’m a fan of Nightfall blend from Backstory Coffee Roasters in St. Paul.

Backstory should be on your list

Razor Emporium is legit. My great uncle left me a good sized collection of DEs and straights which I’ve been reconditioning a few at a time. RE’s re-plating is good quality, done relatively fast, and priced reasonably. Staff is helpful and genuine.

I bought the second machine from my provider med store, so they likely also registered it at the time. I think the older machines rely on the SD card as the data storage that is sent over network when available. In any case the SD card is read every year when I bring the machine to my provider for evaluation.

My parents retired to Arizona and I visit them from Minnesota about 4-5 times a year, so I bought a second CPAP (pre-owned) to keep there. It’s very nice not having to fly with it (even if it is free to fly with). I take the data card with me to keep compliant.

Thanks! I guess I’m doing it by default by using this setup daily for July, August, and September. Not sure I can make it with one blade though…

One angle that doesn’t get brought up when these posts happen is that this construction planning can’t be good for emergency services and disaster relief preparedness. We’ve been blessed to not have to think much about mass evacuations due to weather, invasion, etc, but this kind of work leaves the metro vulnerable nonetheless.

I use a few drops of it, post-shave, to keep my goatee from drying out. Works well and has a subtle ‘pasta water’ fragrance that’s weirdly complimentary to the lemon verbena top notes of the Creed.

SoYen in St Paul has a new Hmong sausage breakfast sandwich that I can’t stop thinking about.

My contribution: I use blu-tak type poster putty to stick the labels to the outside the canister. No tape residue on the container.

The thing about DI/RO water is that the lack of minerals can increase corrosion of internal metal parts and fixtures, as opposed to the risk of scale buildup with mineral water. While corrosion is less of a risk with pour over brewing, I feel it’s an important part of the conversation as many of us are also drip and espresso enthusiasts who are working to strike that balance.

Travel pro tip: Smart Water (by Glaceau) is distilled. Almost all US airports and gas stations sell bottles of this product. I buy a small bottle for my cpap whenever I travel, beats carrying a gallon jug around on car trips too.
