I have a SFO rotation from 2326 , first time i will miss Chrismas . But at least I have New Years eve off , could be worse . <| sep |> Yeah i saw it was over but i wanted to know for like future stuff . Thanks man <| sep |> Well football operates on the weekend as normal for Thanksgiving , as in it ' s only on Sunday on the normal channels . The only difference is that there are 3 games on Thursday instead of 1 . What the hell does football get in the way of for you ? You think CBS and Fox during the daytime isn ' t already shitty TV ? <| sep |> For a minute I thought that was a letter from Mormon God to all of us . Sounds exactly the same . my inheritance blah blah blah . Dude is just trying to be like Heavenly Pops . <| sep |> Very cool ! I ' d love to see that build when its finished ! I ' ve been roasting for approaching two years now , made a move to the current company about 6 months ago . I ' ve definitely enjoyed it overall . The first few months were exciting for all the reasons that learning anything new is exciting , and as I keep going with it , I keep finding new areas of it to delve into from both craft and industry standpoints . I had the benefit of some truly excellent mentorship on the part of my former boss , so a lot of that discovery was handdelivered to me . If I were to have learned on my own it definitely would have been harder to navigate . Of course , some days are a total slog , especially when 70 Kg bags need to be moved around , and I ' m ever so slightly underpaid when compared to industry averages given my experience , but every job has its problems and not all of them have excellent coffee or such friendly and easygoing colleagues . We roast on a 24 kilo machine , but its practical batch size tops out at 44 lbs I ' d make that 40 if I had my druthers . It ' s a charming machine , but it ' s almost as old as dirt and a total PITA to clean every week . At home I use a Quest M 3 , and just recently got it set up with thermocouples and an Arduino TC 4 piped into Artisan . It ' s so nice not having to jog down temperature notes anymore ! It ' s been a total blast because it ' s such a different animal from the commercial machine , while still being super familiar . I got my start using commercial equipment , and to go from those to the tiny Quest made me realize just how much thermal momentum those big machines have ! My first few batches on it really struggled to get into 1 st crack because I was backing off of the heat way too aggressively .
