If you say so. From where I sit, it's all "burr coffee mill stuff".

Incidentally, I've got a Cuisinart burr coffee mill made in China.

Tell me about that!! I'm on my third major carreer. First I was a
baker, then a computer engineer, and now I'm an RN!!

A major concern at hydroeletric facilities.

It was normal in the UK then. Actually, I had some setbacks in my
research so took a year longer than usual, finishing in '70 rather than '69.

Sorry to learn of that.
I'm still working although the drop in the oil price has severely
curtailed projects. I'm finding it difficult to adjust to retirement,
as I'm used to working on interesting projects. However, when work does
appear, I feel rather annoyed at having to do it. I'm wondering whether
to stop cold turkey as professional, software, insurance and accounting
fees will eat up all my projected income next year.

Ditto. I was doing curriculum development work and moving into online
education. My new career was to have been involved in the setting up of
an automotive focused technical college in Thailand. It was in that
country where I initially became ill, at my in-laws farm in fact.

It is hard to stop cold turkey. They say you need to start planning for
retirement some 10 years prior to actually pulling the pin! I was just
about to enter that phase. Needless to say, my planning simply never
happened. Basically, you need to develop a new hobby or three to
accommodate an extra 40 hours, or more, per week of leisure time.
Typically, 6 months or a year will see you caught up with all those jobs
around the house and after that you will find yourself annoying the
living bejesus out of your wife.

There's another point. If you and your wife have both been working, you
will need to get used to "living together" all over again. A work
colleague retired the same day I did. His wife retired a couple of years
later. He told me it took the better part of 6 months to get used to
being under each other's feet. Nowadays they spend half of each year as
grey nomads trekking around the country with 4WD and caravan.

This is why I bought the Capresso, for roughly half that. The conical steel
burrs brought a tear to my eye. And it is so QUIET compared to our
previous ones.

This is true. I was going to climb Everest but I'm waiting until they

Maybe we should start a body recovery business up there. There are more
than 200 of them up there.

That's a lot of bodies! With such a business, there would be 300 bodies on the mountain in a short while. This means that body recovery business in the Himalayas simply cannot fail!

Dang, can't the monks just levitate them down?

All they do is sit around all day chanting with their legs crossed...

Sediment helps, but water can do it perfectly well on it's own, being
a solvent and all...

Some waterjets use nothing more than water (without abrasives) for
cutting, so how does that work if water cannot erode stone on it's
own?

We have a lot of granite around here that gets eroded by very pure
water, again no abrasives required.

Yes, so you keep telling us on a regular basis...
Regardless, you are wrong.
