Mornin' all.

Pretty breezy this morning with temps hovering around 70. Muggy, though. Could do without that little aspect.

Tried a new coffee this morning. It's pretty good!

Unfortunately they don't have it in the k-cups, so I had to use the "adapter" that comes with the machine.

First cup was brewed normally without the "Strong" button. Second cup was full on strong. Much better! Has some interesting notes, too.

For all of you night riders out there, we proudly present our darkest coffee yet: Murdered Out.


With tasting notes of smoky molasses and dark chocolate, this extra dark coffee packs a full punch without being too bitter. Its smooth flavor will fuel your midnight ops or your morning commute. It's always the perfect time to join the dark side.

This one's a keeper.

Oooooooo! Another one to try. Just received via email......

Power Surge Coffee

When life surges, so do you. Life doesn’t build. It hits. The meeting that moves. The plan that breaks. The day that stacks before you finish your first cup. And then there’s the part nobody talks about: The second shift. The part of the day where work ends and everything else begins. Where...

We were invited to Perry's son's birthday. I was excited because I was going to a new restaurant. I like the Ahi tuna out at the Moose Lodge, so I thought I would love it. I did not. I ate a spring roll and one dumpling (which was good). The rolled-up stuff, not so much. Not even soaked in soy sauce. I will, however, still eat the tuna out at the Moose. His 5-year-old granddaughter ate at least a dozen of the rolled things I could not eat. She loves it.



Yes, I take pics of food.

Good afternoon Rat2.

You never know when trying new places.

I think I told y'all about the old cabinet that Perry's friend gave us. I also think I told y'all about my collection of liquor (as an investment only). Some of these are Perry's, but I'm the one who spent $1600 when I joined the ABC sale. I was 510 out of 600. I'm glad I was not in the first ones that could go in because there is no telling what I would have bought.



Hope everyone is having a great Friday. I have no weekend plans, but I'm sure I'll find something.

Good afternoon everyone

Went to mow the lawn last week and seen I had flat front tire so I take the tire off to put inner tube in. What a pita that is, I could not pry the 1 side of the tire back over the rim by myself. Had to take it to work to get help from a co-worker. Next time I will just buy a new tire already on the rim to save myself the aggravation. I'm getting weaker as I get older. TGIF Have a great weekend

Hey Joey.

It’s a problem for sure, getting weaker as we age. Plus I’ve got a painful issue with my right hand that makes just wringing out a wash rag painful. Still here though.

Good morning lurkers

Another busy weekend ahead. A family in my folks town lost everything in a house fire and there is a fundraiser today for them. Kiddo and I are working the popcorn machine.

Retired, we have taco trucks here too!! lol This will be my first year dreading the end of the school year

That is an impressive liquor cabinet, Rat2!
Can you believe it’s been 3 years since I gave up alcohol

Kiddo has committed to Niagara University to major in accounting with a minor in sports analytics. It’s such a pretty campus, I was ready to apply! He has decided not attend prom which makes me sad but happy for my bank account. Been working on allllll the things for his grad party.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Good morning Sara. You are busy! Congratulations on your avoidance of liquor three year anniversary.

Is the university very far away ?

Mornin' all.

Here we go again... Got some forecasters saying we're gonna get a thunderboomer today, others are like "meh, maybe". I'm gonna get a weather rock. It'll be more accurate then these bozos. Sheesh!

 

[FranC]

Good morning retired. I like your weather rock.
