The Fat lady sang!
« on: July 31, 2014, 05:18:27 PM »
I went and did it!!!!!!!

I pulled the trigger on a Golden 1.5K GR1 Plus roaster from Turkey! I've been looking and toying with the idea for my passion now for probably 3 years. This was just the best for me at the right time.

I've always wanted the ability to control my roast, gas fired, and quality built! I actually was able to buy the floor model that was about 3 months old since Joshua was upgrading to a 5K machine. He also provides delivery and installation that was part of my purchase. I'm handy but I wanted to make sure I had a "turn key" machine installed properly and ready to go! That's what I've got! Delivery approximately 8/24! Can't wait! Besides that, Patti's OK with it!!!!!!! Anyone wanting to check out the machine is welcome to visit once it's installed. We love company!! Guess I'll have a great working 1# Sono for sale soon!

Joshua is also bringing in a 500-800 gram sample roaster for demo by the end of August. This is not a cheaper alternative to other roasters. However for my needs, delivery and set-up, and a quality roaster, it was the BEST option for me!  ;D

BUCKEYS eat gopher meat only if the buzzards don't get to it as soon as the BUCKS defensive line KILLS IT! Wisconsin baby badgers couldn't beat the BUCKS so you moved to Gopher land! I'll bet theirs no better luck there!  ;)

Rock on, ol' buddy!

Thanks Peter! Now old Bold/Gopher needs to take a road trip and pick-up the warden to come see THE BUCKS here at Patti's Park some Saturday this fall and we'll roast some greens and cup. I'm so glad to have met so many great friends here at the club!
