Better Later Than Even later

Yes, it is just a photo of the new shelving rack in the workshop, it I took it for a good reason. It was carefully loaded with containers, each of which had a place. Then I decided to clean the floor by taking everything out of the workshop. About half way through taking the containers off the shelves I realized I wouldn’t remember how they all fit on the shelves. Hence this photo and the title of today’s post.

She’s a Soft Touch

Mondo, our neighbor’s dog is very smart. Every time he sees Linda out working in the backyard he comes over to the fence to get his pet. I’m going to have to have a talk with Mondo because every time Linda’s out working in the backyard and I go up to her all I get is being told to do some work she wants done. It’s so bad I can’t even say I lead a dog’s life, sigh.

Coffee Grinder Cleaning

Linda likes her coffee to be the kind that puts hair on a man’s chest with the result being the roasted beans tend to be very oily. Making her coffee in the morning and cleaning the grinder are my jobs. I don’t understand why this is so because i am a tea drinker, but since she is the Queen of the house and I’m just her lowly servant, I do what she tells me.

After washing the removable parts with hot soapy water the final step is clean the blades. I used to spend a lot of time trying to brush all the bits of coffee loose then vacuum them out. Recently I learned out a product called GRINDZ that coffee shops use to clean their machines. It comes in pellet form similar to coffee beans and it takes just a capful to clean the grinder.

I bought it from Amazon. Since it has been around for over 80 years I decided to go with it rather than rice which some use as a cheaper alternative.

Cleaned the coffee residue right out of the machine. They say to run a handful of beans through the grinder after using the GRINDZ which I did. We’ve been using this Breville grinder to grind the beans for her morning coffee for eight years now and it is still going strong.
