That is because you have access to a 4 wheel drive pickup. We had a 3 foot drift across our driveway. I was working in the garage during the blizzard. It was great to have a nice warm place to work. I removed the front suspension on my 911 that day.


I had to get Richard to take me on a beer run. There was a 3 foot drift on the street across my driveway. Fortunately my neighbor knew someone with a bobcat to clear off the street in front of his house and the bobcat loaded the snow on the curb so we could get down the street.

I had to shovel the white crap for 1/2 a day just to get the El Camino out of the garage.

Hey D, I got the coffee yesterday. I brewed some up this morning.

The first try using the amount I normally use made very weak coffe. I tried again and added a little over double the normal amount coffe grounds and it came out fine. It is good.

Trying to describe the difference is difficult. It tastes "wider" which is a strange way to describe it.

Thanks!

'wider' sounds right. i'd probably use the term 'complex'. it should be more complex than folgers, for sure!

On my third cup. Not sure how much the wife put in but could use a dash more.
Tastes good though. I like it. Very similar to what we normally use which is Green Mountain Coffee Rosters.

I saw a good one on FB......

If the Mayans were so good at predicting the future why are there no more Mayans?

You said the bad word!

We would love to get some liquid non-freezing stuff falling from the sky. That does not look likely any time soon.

To quote Will Rogers, "Everyone talks about the weather but no one ever does anything about it."

Evening Y'all
I am stoked, I get to start the last day of the earth with a cup of D' coffee, and then I can even clean an intake with the note.
Thank you D it smells great and I really needed that laugh
