The Coffee House

Ugh, what a pita, Smoke! Sounds like a wasted day. Glad it's resolved!

Hey, @tirediron, did you get awakened early this morning with a call to seek higher ground?

Earthquake off the coast of Alaska apparently triggered a lot of tsunami warnings - though from what I understand now, those have been canceled.

I hope @JamesD wasn't impacted by this.

Morning all.

I was going to ask the same question, @terri. Did you feel anything @tirediron?

Stress levels today at work today are very high, and have been for the past week. (Higher than usual.) My eye is twitching nonstop.

Also, I completed the winter waterfall ice hike workshop on Saturday! Woohoo! That was fun, and quite adventurous. We spent more time hiking than anything else, so we didn't get a lot of good time to set up tripods. Ugh. But, got a few decent shots in!

Mornin' all!

Just hangin' out, enjoying a cup of coffee, waiting until I can saddle-up, head over to the post office carrier annex and pick up the camera body that should have arrived here at the ranch yesterday...

Man, the west coast can't catch a break, lately, can it?

Morning, hosers. Tsunami in the west and a monsoon (aka "wash the salt off your car" storm) here in the Northeast. Supposed to be in the 50s today, fog and rain all day long.

Amazing how one setting can change everything!!!

The day wasn't all bad. We did get to visit a specialty coffee roaster. Despite google directions we couldn't find the place (in a commercial center), had to call the place twice. Bless his heart the owner told us he would stand outside and wave at us. LOL When we pulled up he met us at the truck, introduced himself, and invited us in for a tour of his place. Such a nice gentleman that was really proud of his operation and coffee. Came away with a new friend, a bag of Honduras, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. They do mostly online and commercial business. Free shipping!! Javantino Coffee, Orlando. Great Place, great people.

I saw the report, but so far I'm dry. Didn't feel or notice anything and all the china still seems to be on the shelves.... that's a LONG way away.

Gary has an Earthquake app on his phone and it is reporting a zillion quakes, 90% or so in the 4+ range, emulating from Kodiak, Alaska. Wow ... a zillion.

Ugh the dreaded eye twitch! I remember it well from the days when I managed union people and had so many numbers to meet that your head would spin! Deep breaths and repeat to self “someday I will have Gary’s life”...

I saw some of your photos of the climb on Flickr. Looks like it was hard work!

It won’t snow again this year due to my snowblower purchase. Right now we’re also getting just rain and going to be more of the same later next week. You’re welcome!

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Coffee! After four lazy days of cocoa and tea, Gary finally got his butt in gear and roasted yesterday. mmmhhhh, mmh ... Nuthin' like freshly roasted, freshly ground, pure variety, arabica coffee.

 

[JonA_CT]

It’s absolutely pouring here.

I’m caught up with my work, sort of...and the kids are writing an assessment today, so I’ve got a hot cup of coffee and a book I need to read before the kids do

My wife gave me the look this morning when she realized I forgot to roast last night. She’s got it too good mesthinks. Time to keep a package of Folgers in the house for these emergencies so she can understand what she gets most mornings, haha.

Lesson or no...Folgers? FOLGERS?? How could you do that to another human being, much less the mother of your children!!

LOL ... Mary Lou is on a diet kick and has been drinking tea in the mornings for the past year or so. She doesn't like coffee without cream or sugar. So she has eliminated the early morning cream and sugar hit. This has allowed Gary to downsize his coffee operations down to a three cup siphon as opposed to a large French Press.
