Start your long day with a fresh K-Cup of RRR premium blend coffee!
Our “Common Sense” brew of coffee is a medium roast (1/3 Java and 2/3 Brazil). It’s low acidity, full bodied, and has a kickin’ taste, and it just makes sense.* You might pick up on a caramel or chocolate taste with this one.

“Manic Morning” is our medium dark offering. (½ Java and1/2 Kenya AA). Balanced sweet and bold, and higher acidity. This is the brew for those who like the taste of coffee, without adding tons of sweetener or cream!

  1. 6:10 I would junk that grease gun. It really gave you a false sense of security of grease going in. Grease gun should give a good indicator of grease not going in via heavy resistance on the handle or motor stopping.

  2. Always a hack job! Just get the right god damn bolt! If your going to rig shit than don’t charge your customers! They are paying you to fix it properly!

  3. well thats a catch worth taking to dealer for warranty new parts damn. Love your attention to detail. If i lived anywhere near you i'd be paying you to do my stuff instead of doing it in my driveway. Pretty sure you completely destroyed the threads on that bolt tho ….

  4. You should have a Wera ratchet/hammer with an alignment pin. I sent one to the shop for you months ago because everything is a hammer. 😂😂

  5. I dont know if you have that greese gun on high speed or high pressure, but for stubborn ones I put it on the slow speed high pressure and just run the crap out of it and try to exercise the joint.

  6. I HATE grease guns. Always messy, oftentimes won't pump. And I've watched many YouTube videos about loading them and priming. IF you know a good reliable mechanical one, please recommend.

  7. I Like your Videos.
    You are honest!!!
    Nobody Else would say i missed this Problem ( Last time the car was here) !!!
    Respekt from german viewer!!!
    Mach weiter so 👏
    Bist ein Guter Mann!!!!

  8. I was working on a Ford EcoSport (yuk) recently…it has a specially designed hood latch so that you can repeatedly bang your head on it!!! Nice. Please cut off the end of that bolt you used…make it tidy like!

  9. 5:18 continuing to do the same think over and over expecting a different result. Give Ray a break. Modern cars (cars in his lifetime) don't generally have alemite fittings. Yes, I said Alemite fitting. Zerk was an early innovator but Alemite modernized the grease fitting to lock the nozzel to it as we are familar with today.
