    Yes!

    (As I was typing this response)

    This older fellow (80s) went to the register to pay. He watches me out of his peripheral vision. He realizes that I am watching and avoids eye contact. The waitress and the cook laugh. They say something about “nosy.” The waitress walks back to me to check on me.

    Am I upsetting your regulars?

    “You HEARD that? Yeah, he wanted to know who you were, he’s seen you in here before.”

    Should I wave at him next time?

    (LOL!) “No, he’s just nosy.”

    We have two of them, they’re pretty impressive honestly. I think they’d put work an 8R.

    What was your moisture running on beans. Were having trouble with pods opening around here.

    I don't think welding is an acceptable repair on air tanks. Try a bone yard, a hundred or two for a good tank.

    When we first started they were around 14.5. We did have lots of pods to begin with but toward the end it got better with moisture being around 12. I think the cold nights in the 20's helped them come around better.

    They take some getting used to, no decelerator, engine barely changes tone under load and they’re quick.
