Score! (not Valkyrie related...mostly)

[Daniel Meyer]

My sister's SO drives a truck for a scrap yard. Thanks to him I scored a 10-foot stainless steel prep table and food sink...AND a hand-washing sink...complete with faucets and drains...all for $236...it was headed to be bailed and sold as raw metal.

New it would cost me 10 times that.

It's in perfect condition. No dents, no scratches. A few minutes with some BonAmi and a scrubbie and it will look like new.





This has a place in our 100+ year old commercial building. This is how we are trying to equip our upcoming business. Cash, no debt. Good equipment. There will be expensive things needed, but when I can save a couple thousand bucks on a prep table...well, that puts us that much more ahead.

It's a start.

So...not really valk related...but this future coffee house/ice-cream/internet cafe bookstore thing is also going to be the world-wide headquarters for Stormrider Press (my label) so there...Valks!

The Mighty Carnac also peers into the future, and sees this becoming a premier ride destination for many Valkyrie riders as well, so it's related in THAT aspect as well!

Great find. One mans trash is anothers treasure.
Daniel you need to try out Kaldi coffee. http://www.kaldiscoffee.com/Home/tabid/40/List/1/Default.aspx
Its a local St Louis company. Absolutly great coffee. My favorite is the Cafe Kaldi. I grind it course and brew in a bodum press pot.

Get a product that is called "Bartenders Friend" you can get it in any Grocery store where the comet stuff is. It will make it shine like crome.

"Barkeepers Friend", I think and man does it work good.

I'm thinking like Serk said-it'll be THE place to stop when out on our Valks.

Heh...it'll be a while yet. We've got a LOT of work to do...and a lot more stuff to come up with (on the cheap).

So far I have that prep table, TWO airpot coffee makers, 30 airpots, and one commercial cappuccino/espresso maker...for under $800.

Throw in the 1893 era commercial building on the square that I paid less for then my wife's car...and we're getting somewhere.

I still need batch ice-cream makers, ice-machine, soda fountain, a candy cooker, gas oven, ice-cream display/serving case, freezers, refrigs, etc...all good and on the cheap.

Oh, and tables and chairs and dishes and I need to build a couple restrooms and a long counter and some shelving and ....

Glad I've got plenty of projects. I wouldn't want to be bored!
