The Coffee House

[smoke665]

Just had two clementines and a yogurt for dinner. Diet time!

"Diet", why is such a simple 4 letter word such a PITA. I had dropped 30# on my diet earlier this year, and had been doing really well in maintaining, until about a month ago. Now I'm up 8 lbs, and headed into the holidays. Not going to be fun

Cardboard is esp. energy efficient

What???? Cardboard????? Here in the US, home construction is pretty much conventional wood stud construction, with siding or brick on the outside.

I think Frank is referencing gyp board / drywall type of material.

May be like Dave tonight and head to bed early. Woke up in the middle of the night with what I was afraid was an Asthma attack. Like a dummy I worked out in the my shop yesterday on a small carpentry project, and didn't wear a mask. Breathing treatment and emergency dose of Prednisone helped me bypass a trip to ER, but it was still a long time before I risked going back to sleep. Today, I've been in a fog.

I thought so also, until I saw this Cardboard Wikkelhouse built in a day is popping up all over Europe

Interesting ... but that is a pre-engineered / prefabricated structure. Frank's is building a custom designed, one of a kind affair. Which doesn't mean he isn't/can't be using cardboard. A custom design doesn't lend itself to prefab construction materials. A comfortable and habitable structure isn't a big deal and can be crafted out a billion different materials from used tires to apricot pits and still be useful, efficient but not typically inexpensive and sorta hard to pass most any sort of municipal inspection. The honeycomb nature of cardboard, combined with wood being a natural insulator ... makes cardboard, not a bad building material. Cardboard, like glass, comes in a zillion different forms and flavors.

Of this time I have found some stellar looking 2009. And an awesome 2013P, 2013D and 20140D. And a fair amount of decent copper. I put copper I don't think will clean up to my satisfaction back into circulation so people that get rolls I turn in won't be terribly disappointed.

Dave has never been to a university.
Rather explains why he doesn't make lots of money. No, it doesn't. It's all in Daves head.

You consistently speak of lack. Start to speak prosperity. What do you have to lose?

Yesterday, Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary binge watched Stranger Things. This was a first for us. Until yesterday, we never binge watched before. We watched seven episodes and it was a pleasant afternoon, all of us curled up, sipping some wine, watching a very entertaining series.

PS- The Orange Sorbet is finished and Delish.

PS- The Orange Sorbet if finished and Delish.

The second season?

Dave is about to hit the sack.
Wish you all a good night!

@Gary A. Have you ever had Gluehwein? It's like a mulled wine, served warm. A lady I went to high school with sent me the recipe. Looks good.

I much prefer binge watching to weekly series watching. With a weekly series I forget what was going on the previous week and lose interest. My new method for ongoing shows is to build up 3-5 episodes on the dvr then “binge” watch those all at once on a weekend. The only shows I watch “live” these days are the ones I know everyone will be talking about on Facebook the next day since I don’t want to see any spoilers.

Nope. Gary has never heard of Gluehwein. Gary will Google and most likely, try it out. Thanks smoke665.

@Gary A. It's a German recipe so maybe Frank will weigh in on it.
