It’s about time for a product review, and this is one that I think should be in EVERY household in America. What am I talking about? Well, it’s my Tassimo Coffee on Demand Brewer by Braun. It only will brew 1 cup of coffee at a time, but it is so convenient, and the coffees that are available are fantastic. My favorite is the Henry’s Blend coffee, and the Earl Gray tea is a fantastic afternoon beverage.
The only downfall I see is that when they designed the brewer, they did not account for a tall travel mug. If you want to fill a tall mug, you need to fill a small mug twice and transfer the beverage to the bigger mug. It’s a little of a pain, and you end up dirtying an extra cup, but it’s easier than trying to clean a large coffee pot, or a expresso/cappucino maker. This system is easy to use and the clean up is pretty much non-extistent. I’ll give it a 5 cup rating – I love mine and will never own a coffee pot again. I got mine at Kohl’s, but you can get it online here: http://tinyurl.com/35mxtv

OK, so my day has not been all bad, I actually purchased another Rabbit for myself (white one will be the lovely wife’s once complete). I am picking it up in the morning. I guess I’m going back to Farfegnugen from the LBC (Little British Car). Difference is, I’m trying to find ones that are turn-key, I don’t have time for projects.

Previous owner is not the fine upstanding moral person afterall. Page below details our dialogue. I’m going to have to take him to court, ala Vance Marine.

Below is the link for the auctiun, if you want to really learn some new skills. He teaches you that you can polish a turd. The only problem. That turd, no matter how shiney and sparkly it is, it’s still a turd

I’m laying here in bed, tired, already popped an Ambien, and I’m more interested in bitching about this issue. Hopefully, once all is said and done, guy ends up being a good guy, and not a doornob.
There’s a .pdf version of the ebay listing here:

Jaymie’s new car. Looks like it is going to need a new motor though. I’ll update once I get the exact scoop on the motor, and when I find out if the guy I bought it from is a good guy, or a real doornob. It’s a 1981 VW Rabbit Convertable. I’ll post more specifics later. (click on an image below to see the whole gallery)
