Combined, these issues mean I&#8217;m really forcing an untamped portafilter onto the grouphead. No wonder it complains. I had a much better time scraping out some of the (over)dose and using my Thor tamper, which seems to be a better size. Grrr&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Heath fromHD Lawn finally texted me and said our warranty had expired. I texted him back that it had NOT expired, but my text failed to go through&#8211;he has blocked my number. What a dirtbag. Yelp, Nextdoor, etc. here we come.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Finally dawned on me that the BMW 230i, small and powerful though it is, is a two-door, and I&#8217;ve had trouble getting into those. Guess I&#8217;ll have to screw up my courage and try a test drive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Re-tried a few photo editors again, for fringing and to see if I can drop Lightroom. Lightroom still wins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211;Tried to balance the fan over the dining room table.
