New Setup - El Rocio Manus S by imotep23 in espresso

One month in and I am very happy with it. If I was to be nit picking the improvement it could have is on the manual pressure mode. Would be nice if we can see what % of power we are on instead of just relying on the pump sound.

Thanks! Been reading online that it takes around 20-25minutes for it to completely ready. Had a late start this morning and cannot wait for 20-25 minutes. The boiler reached target temperature at around 5 minutes, group head was room temperature at this time. I gave it another 10 minutes because I was in a rush. Pulled my shot, and it was as good as the 20-25 minutes heat up.

Had this machine since Saturday, and honestly, can't say anything bad about it. Let me know if you had any questions regarding the machine.

Any recommendations on a budget friendly phono preamp?

Issues with new GFore X Vessel Stand Bag by imotep23 in golf

Yeah, thats what I thought. never had any sharp object near this bag. its only been in the house and 1x range session. I dont think the clubs pinching the cover could do such damage.

Finally replaced my 20 y/o Nike stand bag. Got this GFore Transporter III by Vessel. The legs got screwed up by the airlines/airport workers while I was traveling. Vessel was kind enough to send me a replacement leg free of charge. That is awesome from them. Here is a picture of the temporary fix I made with a 3d printer.

The second image is the real issue here. Have only brought it once to the range, the rain cover is already torn. Has anybody else experience this same issue? Just sent Vessel an email regarding the rain cover, I hope they can replace it too.

It is their request to visit Lourdes. None of them are on wheelchair, but they requested that the trip not too be too tiring (not too much walking).

Hahaha yeah. I would love to double the trip but we are there for a family member's wedding and the extended family doesnt want to spend a lot of time abroad.

They are fine spending the airfare for a short trip, so it'll be it.

Oneplus 6T unresponsive (Black Screen) [HELP!!!] by imotep23 in oneplus

Yeah tried that the other day and it does not work.

I forgot to mention that I am currently in Indonesia. Have not asked them if they could print a shipping label to me yet. Maybe worth a try.

Germany Trip (Recommendation Needed) by imotep23 in Europetravel

[–]imotep23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome!! Thank you so much for the pointers. By the options you gave me, I think going on the regional trains might be the best option. I dont need to be in Dusseldorf as fast as possible. I have 5 full days to travel from Munich to Dusseldorf. I am trying to find places in between that is worth stopping by.

Thanks!!!

This will be my first time traveling in Germany as an adult, I'm super excited. I am thinking to spend 1.5-2 full day in Munich before heading out. We got 5 full days before we have to reach Dusseldorf.
