    This Lavazza machine pulls a great shot. I now use the keurig to make hot water. I can add the 4ozs from it in about a minute.

    Game changer. I don’t even buy coffee on the road anymore. Otter very happy.

    As far as my next truck… the right deal will show up and I’ll be ready. I’m m picky so I’m no hurry.

    I’m as grateful as I can be. Just pleased to be alive and happy as heck to really enjoy being a driver.

    Yea. But they’re specific to the machine. Taste nothing like a Keurig. My wife found it on sale for $110 on Amazon. The pods in come in boxes of 100 for $55. They have an assorted pack or you can buy the ones you like. LOL

    Anyway she bought it while I was rolling. It showed up she made a cup or two and immediately thereafter ordered a second for my truck. She knew that thing was leaving with me.

    I pulled up to a light and smelled coolant. I looked around to see which idiot was losing it.

    It was only me at the light. Me, I’m the idiot.

    I had the spare parts and 3 gallons of coolant. 30 minutes and I was rolling again, and I’ve got the beat up hands to boot. Thankfully (sarcasm) 30 minutes later the ABS light on the trailer came on…that took 3 hours at a shop. Sheesh.
