The Coffee House

[tirediron]

Navy (and I suspect Coastie) coffee has to b thick so it wont spill on board the boats.

One of our drivers was ex Navy. My wife hid the coffee in the break room when he came in so he couldn't make a "fresh" pot. You could almost stand a spoon up in it.

Yeah.... and?

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. While it isn't windy outside, the Santa Ana's ... or what's left of the Santa Ana's is still pushing the Marine Layer out to sea leaving a clear sky delivering a 48F morning chill but with 84F afternoon. Gary would be happy to trade some wind, sun and fire for some of that eastern cold, rain and snow. Gary has most of his Christmas shopping completed ... Thank God for Amazon. What would this world be without Amazon ... and Puppies!

We got about 4" last night but seemed like more as 40mph winds followed the snow, big drifts. Got up at 5:00 am for @Gary A. roast and a cup of grits. Headed out at 5:30 and my @pixmedic tpf coffee mug and woke every lucky recipient (6) with my blade banging and a scraping. Headed to Ohio and arrived at 9:00 to zero snow here. Closing the sale on a few new customers, should fill up the drivers Truck on Friday's now. Time to hire another driver, so I can fill him up 5 days a week.

I read in the paper that the last Benny's in New England closed this past weekend. We've missed our local one dearly. It's a hard store to describe. It was a small local chain that you could go to buy car tires, paint, bikes, garden stuff, small appliances, etc. They didn't always have the best prices on things, but they were just up the street and I found a reason to visit every couple weeks usually. We're down to couple of local hardware stores now, if I don't want to visit HD or Lowes, and I frequently don't want to visit those places, haha.

Sharon, did you guys have Benny's up by you?

Simply the fact that you are aware it's 0418 means not all is well.

Dave had 3 hours and 22 minutes.
Couldn't waste anymore time.
Shopped for my Sister before leaving the store. Been home about an hour and 20 minutes. It's a might chilly in the house.
OK. All isn't exactly well but close enough.

Agreed. That's the time I went to sleep last night, thanks to work.

There's not enough coffee in the world to make me feel awake today.

Amphetamines might work.

I think you're onto something. Amphetamine-laced coffee beans?

Baseball clubhouses used to have leaded and unleaded coffee before amphetamines were banned and became part of the testing regimen.

Speaking of baseball two things.... Trammell and Morris , finally get into the Hall of Fame, GO TIGERS.

Second, report came out today that Darvish was tipping his pitches in the WS. I think I mentioned this to @Gary A. Via text during the WS. It was exactly how I saw it too, arm to the side, regrips ball, slider, blammo, runs, runs, runs.... Sorry @limr, I know you just let out a big sigh and your eyes kind of glazed over.....[emoji12]

The guy from a local ice cream place who was on a feature on the noon news is named - Chip?? Yes, their chip ice creams are quite good, especially raspberry chip. But today he was making a sundae with peppermint ice cream with marshmallow cream and chocolate sauce - and I just ordered from them last night. Did get some of their lower sugar, but got a couple of holiday flavors too. It's never too cold for ice cream!

But silver sprinkles are bad for us? NOW they tell us we shouldn't eat those little silver balls (dragees, had to look up what the heck those things were called anyway!)? So why did our parents put them on Christmas cookies and feed them to us?? after a summer of sending us outside to roller skate with no helmets and throw lawn darts at each other? I don't know how we made it thru childhood!

@vintagesnaps, I just had ice cream last night. Agree, never ever too cold for ice cream.

I had ice cream last night too. Must have been something in the air. I'm dieting so I had the Halo brand Salted Caramel flavor. Not as good as the Cookie Dough but still at only 240 calories per pint for ICE CREAM! that tastes good, you really can't go wrong. Of course I didn't eat a whole pint. Had to share with the Princess.

@JonA_CT Does your school have a website that posts grades and assignments online? My daughter's school uses Aspen/Follett and I have an id to sign in and check on progress and homework etc. Also have an app that alerts me whenever a new grade is posted (poor kids these days are so screwed, lol). Anyway, during Middle school the teachers were great at keeping up the website but it's a whole other story with the High School. Yesterday progress reports came out for Q2. On Sunday night, Princess had only 1 grade listed for Science class, a 97. Sometime Sunday night after dinner, all of a sudden 5 additional grades popped up bringing her average down to a B. Now how am I supposed to stay involved and keep her on track if I don't get timely feedback on her progress? Same thing happened the night before Q1 report cards were due. One of her grades went from an A- to a B- overnight with no time to discuss the slide with her and find out if there's a problem. Just wondering how they do things at your fancy CT private school...
