I'm sorry you had to restore, but glad you got it fixed, Fran.
Mark, you made my day...Thank you! My new mail gentleman didn't want to give it too me, said he was enjoying the smell
I fixed my chainsaw today and got that damn shrub tree cut down. I just wish I'd tried to fix the chainsaw before I went after the shrub with a hatchet! Got the yard mowed too...I'm pooped!
Katie and I took a chill pill on the porch swing this evening...

Coarse grind, about 6 oz volume of coffee grinds per 32 oz of water. Mix it a little with a wooden spoon, or for lazy like me pour in a little water, add the grinds, then finish filling with water.
Let it sit in a carafe 12 hours, covered with saran wrap, on the kitchen counter.
Filter the resulting liquid, into a second container. Slowly pouring it through a paper filter in a drip coffee maker would work fine.
The resulting liquid can be stored in the fridge up to 2 weeks. It will be low acid, high flavor. Cut it with 1 part water to one or two parts of the coffee extract.
It makes a great hot coffee (microwave the coffee + water for a couple minutes to heat it), or iced coffee.
A normal store "breakfast blend". coarse ground, works well.
(I can send some coarse next time if you would like to try it.)

Thank you! I'll try a store bought coarse grind first to see if I like it. I have a fear of keeping anything with caffeine in the fridge...last thing I need is Katie on caffeine! She doesn't know anymore what she's eating or drinking, if it's in the fridge it's fair game 
Here's an Ethiopian cold brew. A little water, add the grounds, top it off with water.
I don't bother stirring it when I do this - the wet grounds on top will steep just fine.
Cover and sit.

Indeed she is...ask me how I know!!
First order of business today was a trip to DHS/Elder Care. I now have a social worker, and her first order of business was contacting Elder Protective Services. That doesn't mean EPS will do anything right now (since there is no active abuse with the ex out of the home) but the all important documentation paper trail has begun. I'll be getting with the social worker later this week to work on getting some in home help so that I don't have to be "on duty" 24/7. Katie has Long Term Care insurance that will partially cover in home, as well as facility care.
Hi all!
Looking like another couple of bizzy days at work.
Yesterday DW and I caught the renaissance festival, a pleasant day [emoji5]

I'm glad you'll have some help Bov! Everyone needs a break.
The weather has cooled off quite a bit. Great weather for the renaissance fair!

Low 70s and partly cloud in Sterling, an excellent day to wander about and catch the acts [emoji5]
Hey ALL !!!
Thank you ALL so much for the Birthday wishes and I apologize for taking a week to say Thanks
We got in Tuesday evening. I sat down later that night to write this... and fell asleep. I finally got time to finish this.
We were in Oceanside Ca, north of San Diego, in a Penthouse Condo on the beach. There were 10 of us, the whole family except 2 nephews that had to work. We had too much fun, too much food and not enough time. For my Bday my sister the caterer made me a batch of Melomakarona cookies... My Favorite !!!!
