    Re: The Rain is driving me MAD!!!

    All was good today. I have resumed normal transmission. Two good pours this morning with my usual routine.
    Interestingly Sydney is a lot drier today with less humidity. I rang the roaster yesterday to find out
    if they had a batch problem with my particular roast, and they too were having problems and about
    to throttle the grinder!!

        Man, Ive been getting hammered on this thread! OK I admit, its my fault, Im not blaming the rain merely making an observation regarding the weather. I guess its opened my eyes to prepare better for it.  :-X

        It is made worse if you buy roasted beans (500g/fortnight) and have to sink 2,3,or 4 shots just to get it right for your morning double, only for everything to change 5 minutes later and make further adjustments again.

        I know, I know such is the life of a CS, if you dont like it buy a nespresso  ;D

          Well if the roaster is having the same problem then it cant be all your fault.

              Its a miserable day in Perth and Im loving it, gave me an excuse to have the day off work and head into Subiaco and savour an Ethiopian Nekisse syphon brew plus a couple of killer espresso at Spring Espresso.
              Thus I turned a winters day into Springtime

                The Rain is driving me MAD!!!

                Gotta LOVE this affirmation.
                Its such things that keep me in business and coffee paraphernalia.
                Keep up the good work! ;D

                  Well there is a link between serotonin levels and depression associated with limited sunlight (esp. in Scandinavian countries in winter), and somewhat related to extended cloudy/rainy periods.

                  I think this has less to do with Bennets serotonin levels and more to do with the caffeine levels in his bloodstream running low.

                    OT--Strangely enough there is no link between serotonin levels and depression!!! It was all just an assumption that has never been proven.

                    The newer anti-depressants (none of which work better than placebo!!) dont even affect serotonin.

                    Anyway, its all good. Its how I can afford such nice toys! If anti-depressants worked, Id be out of business.

                      The more likely culprit as recent research is showing is a vitamin D deficiency. Such a deficiency has been found to be much more prevalent than previously realized. Especially during the winter months among those living between 35 degrees latitude and the poles. Current research is showing that a vitamin D deficiency can cause a lot more problems than previously recognized. With one of the problems that is now being recognized being depression. Sometime later this year you can expect to hear from various health agencies around the world an announcement of a new recommended daily dosage level of Vitamin D. At this point it is appearing that the new dosage will be double the current one and possibly even higher.

                        This explains a lot, our obsession with suncancer and not getting exposed to the sun directly coincides with our younger generation being a bunch of self-obsessed, overweight, whiny, apathetic whingers

                          Coincides it may, though I would have thought a more likely cause to be parenting qualities, not sunlight exposure.

                            Rain or not... Parenting qualities is rather subjective..  In fact is totaly subjective and some what biased by Culture and narrow minds...

                            The output; may well be influenced but by no means, do the parenting  qualities have a deciding say.  Unless ya lock them up and keep them 100% isolated..  Good or bad parenting quality ? Depends on where ya stand.

                            To add insult to those trying to do the best they can in a world that changes too fast....  Are the narrow minded ones, who so proudly  state " In my day " .  

                            Sorry; long gone; the world has moved on and about time they did..
