Going to be merging content from a couple of my other blogs – basically trying to simplify maintenance. I’ll add categories, and also try to tag content more, so you can easily find the content you’re after! :^)
The first blog to get merged over here is my coffee blog.

Here comes the flood!
Jun 24th
Well, a mini flood anyway!!
This morning when the timer kicked in for my espresso machine, something failed in the machine, resulting in water all over the kitchen floor, and leaking down into our laundry room. Timer went on at 5:00 AM – I was downstairs at 6:00.
Tonight I’ll have to open the espresso machine up to see what exactly failed – thankfully the components inside the Andreja Premium are fairly generic, so I shouldn’t have too much trouble fixing it. Hoping I can fix it myself, otherwise I load it up and have CaffeTech look at it and do the repairs. At least they’re local!

I think it’s time – almost ;^)
Jun 4th
Well, the factory bumper on the Rubi has been taking a beating. All the time and effort installing the winch and dressing up the factory plastic around it was pretty much a waste of time.
A few trail runs, a small tree here, a small tree there, and a big mudhole have all taken their toll. In the process, I’ve got a better idea what bumper size I want though!
So, in the coming weeks I hope to get started on putting together my own bumper – hoping to use a really nice design put together by N007 over on the NA4WDA forums. He designed his bumper in a 3D CAD program, then had the pieces cut out by a shop on the southside using a water jet. The finished product turned out great! I think that I might add a bit of tube work – a medium sized stinger, and some pieces to add a little protection to the front fenders.
Last fall I purchased a little Lincoln Electric welding machine – hopefully its up to the task, and I can get some skills!

Spring Club Run to Cadomin
Jun 3rd
This past weekend we had 7 Jeeps meet up in the Cadomin area for a run. Weather sucked, but the Jeeps loved it – well, most of them anyway ;^)
One of the guys managed to get a log jammed up into his under-carriage, and damaged the wiring to the fuel pump – causing his jeep to stop running as he was working his way across a watery mud hole. It took a while to sort the issue out, and get a trail fix working so he was able to get out. I winched him back back out of the mudhole and onto ‘dry’ land so that the work could begin. While the Jeep was worked on, others in our group managed to get the water draining out of the mud hole, and removed lots of logs that were gradually exposed as the water level drained. Check out some photos here!
