Been Kicking Myself in the Butt

[crtreedude]

Ah, but I have computer connect (high speed) and Harold doesn't...  :D :D and I have spies!

[crtreedude]

You are absolutely right Tom - the goal will be to keep that saw singing! Even if someone needs to help Harold push it.

All kidding aside - they will be plenty of young backs and legs around to ease Harold in. He has the knowledge and the guys are looking forward to learning it.

I am going to sit on top of Toro and supervise with my white hat...  :

[Fla._Deadheader]

 Them spies all got good gloves  ??? ??? ??? ???

 Computer connection won't move wood  : : :

[Teri]

[crtreedude]

Yep, I bring down a dozen gloves just about every trip. We believe in gloves...

I think you have forgotten the deal - you cut - I sell and work with the shipper...  ;)

I push numbers - you push wood...  :D

[Burlkraft]

Sounds to me like somebody got the better end of that deal :P :P :P :P :P :P


I'm just tryin' to figger which one ;) ;) ;)

[Fla._Deadheader]

Only time will tell ??

[Burlkraft]

[Teri]

[Buzz-sawyer]

Must be ARABICA never ever robusto.....and very dark :D :D

[Fla._Deadheader]

Fresh cup sittin right in front of me.  First Sawmill mod must be a cup holder for some REAL coffee.  :D :D 8) 8) 8) 8)

[crtreedude]

Buzz - you are correct, it is arabica, robusto is garbage (in my opinion)... Shade grown organic is killer. Richer, but with less acid.

PSSSSSTTTT


Tom makes a pretty good cup of coffee too :P

Just read on "most viewed news stories" on yahoo about some coffee that came from Thailand or some place over there that was ran through some kind of critter first. Something about how the animal ate the "cherries" that contained the bean, they would look for piles of crap and dig the coffee beans out. High price $175.00 per pound. The big market was San Fransisco. Go figure.

Think I will just let Juan Valdez pick mine.

  Note to self ... If ever in San Fransisco, order coke , not coffee

This is true, the animal is the palm civet, you can see the story HERE

eeeew...

asy :D

[Don_Papenburg]

I don't drink coffee any more , but what is the differance between Arabica and robusto?
And that thing about throught the animal . We have a saying that  quiality is like buying oats , you will pay more for good oats . The cheap ones will be run through the horse first.
So how would one think that coffee beans that have been run through a critter will have any value?

[WH_Conley]

Gues you have to live ib San  uh, uh, Franciso.

[sawguy21]

Crappucino :D :D :D Woo Hoo :D :D. Article sez the animal lives on alcoholic sap and coffee berries. That cat must be wound tighter than a cheap watch. ;D Coffee would probably be real good as long as I don't know where it came from.

[Fla._Deadheader]

 

Crappucino

>:( >:( DanGit Sawguy. Now I gotta clean off the keyboard and monitor. Wasted a good mouthful of good coffee.  >:( >:(  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Paul_H]

[farmerdoug]

Types Of Coffee

There are two main species of bean, arabica and robusta. Both thrive in equatorial regions.

Robusta is grown at lower altitudes, 0 to 700 metres, and has a high yield per plant and high caffeine content (1.7 to 4.0%). It accounts for about 30% of world production. Robusta has a stronger flavour than arabica with a full body and a woody aftertaste which is useful in creating blends and especially useful in instant coffee.

Robusta is mainly grown in the following regions:

    * Western and Central Africa (Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Uganda, Angola, etc.)
    * Malaysia (Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Java, etc.)
    * Brazil
    * India

Arabica grows at higher altitudes, 1000 to 2000 metres, and while it has a lower yield and less caffeine content (0.8 to 1.4%) it is widely recognised to be superior to robusta. Arabica accounts for about 70% of world production, although only about 10% of this yields "grand cru" beans. Arabica has a delicate acidic flavour, a refined aroma and a caramel aftertaste.

Arabica is mainly grown in the following regions:

    * Central America (Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama)
    * South America (Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina)
    * India
    * Eastern Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique)
    * Papua New Guinea

Many of the cheaper blends have a higher proportion of robusta compared to arabica. Some high quality blends use a small quantity of the very best robusta beans to give body and character to the blends, particularly in espresso blends.
