Coffee tastes so good this morning...it's always better on a Sunday than during the week...” 7:50:45 AM 5/27/07 “Tilt, I never really liked it much in Coke. I'll give it a whirl neat. Can I have a slice of lime or is that forbidden? It is smooth and it is Goooooood. The eight year old isn't too bad either.” 7:58:27 AM 5/27/07 “BTW, Good morning. =D” 7:58:53 AM 5/27/07 “Morning! AFter the rain passes, it should be a nice day! Going to the Great Lakes Loons game with G's Freshman baseball team. THen, I"m headed to my folks house for a few days, G will be on his own. WOnder if my clean house will still be clean on Wednesday. Have a great day, everyone!” 8:26:55 AM 5/27/07 “WOnder if my clean house will still be clean on Wednesday. yeah, you keep hoping for that. LOL! I woke up this morning and my sinuses are killing me. They feel all swelled up and burning like I'm working on the mother of all sinus infections.” 8:32:28 AM 5/27/07 “Morn all... The rain is coming again. Bummer. Tilt, I have tried it neat, very good indeed. The 15 is better than the 8 by far. 3 years ago I drank the 15 year old bottle he brought back from Haiti (it sat on his shelf for 10 more). He told his wife to save it for something special. She and I drank it all one night, fuzzy memories are all I have.” 8:44:56 AM 5/27/07 “Lime is no crime! The inclusion of Coca-Cola did make me cringe a little, but what the heck --- uh-uh... Coffee's ready.” 8:46:13 AM 5/27/07 “For Sure, Birch.” 8:48:43 AM 5/27/07 “But don't you think the "Earth and Sky" pattern would make for a Great Patio? what earth & sky pattern, Tilt?” 4:23:10 PM 5/27/07 “It's that little black & white M.C. Escher number with the birds and fish, posted on this very thread by yours truly.... at 5:42:45 PM EDT on the 25th.” 6:37:43 PM 5/27/07 “ahh! that one! i kinda like the angels & devils myself. i've been imagineing how fantastic an escher patio could be...too bad all my patio bricks are reddishpink and boring cobblestone shape.” 9:02:36 PM 5/27/07 “Oh yeah... That's a great one too! One of the Escher books I have has a photo of the Angels & Devils done in two different kinds of wood as a sphere. For a second, I thought that's what they had in the Sculpture section on the website.... But that sphere is made of resin and painted to resemble the wooden version (and didn't look too swift in the close-up). The bronze is way cool, but 1,550.00 Euros comes to about $2,085.09 U.S. at the present time (gulp).” 4:05:59 PM 5/28/07 “MY KINGDOM FOR A COFFEE FILTER! Just one filter....that's all I need.” 6:28:59 AM 5/29/07 “Use one of Birch's old socks:)” 6:31:09 AM 5/29/07 “Sass - I imagine you and birch had a rather somber day yesterday. Hope yall have a good week.” 6:52:38 AM 5/29/07 “Good morning, I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I went fly fishing for 2 days, but the action wasn't as good as I had hoped. We need rain and the streams are getting low. Not much rain is in sight and I hope that's not a trend that continues with it being hot and dry for the summer.” 6:55:00 AM 5/29/07 “Fabric handkerchiefs make good coffee filters. Or use your bandana. Argh, my fish are spawning again. There's eggs and milt (eeww) everywhere.” 6:55:28 AM 5/29/07 “Actually it was a good day Dayhiker. We went out to Birch's (and the rest of the guy's) hometown, met up with the guys and watched the memorial day parade, made a rubbing of PJ's name off of the memorial and zipped home to work our tails off. We took some time all weekend long to remember but it was all the good stuff. Lots of laughing. You all know what a Bunn coffee maker does when it doesn't like what you put in as a filter? It throws up all over your counter, grounds and burning hot water. It does this for exactly three minutes and will not stop before the three minutes is up. In two hours I will get my filters, not before. It's Darjeeling tea until then. last edited: 5/29/07 7:11:47 AM” 7:07:03 AM 5/29/07 “Eh, you need to keep some bottled coffee of some sort on hand for the next time than happens. I was going to make myself some coffee this morning, but there's not enough milk for both me and Laurel, so she gets it. I'm supposed to be packing for a return trip to Florida on thursday. Ugh. I can't remember if I posted this but the people who bought our house (soon to be newlyweds) are in to fish; they have a large aquarium or two out on the back porch, and several in the house. I think the koi I left behind are in good hands.” 7:15:17 AM 5/29/07 “That has got to make you happy! All that work goes to someone who will appreciate your beautiful pond and koi. I love that bottled coffee stuff. It's like crack to me (Starbucks frappacinos). I can't keep it in the house. If I don't drink it right up Birch will. I'd have to hide it someplace neither of us would ever find it. ;)” 7:19:07 AM 5/29/07 “I keep a 4-pack of Starbucks Doubleshot in the fridge for such emergencies.  Remember.... the only way we got to the Moon was by employing redundant systems. Gotta have backups!” 7:23:19 AM 5/29/07 Hugs. “Good morning. Sassafras - Just pull the plug or snatch the batteries. It should stop. If not, throw it in the trash barrel. Have a great day.” 7:25:49 AM 5/29/07 “Nowslimmer, don't talk about the bunn like that! Pulling the plug doesn't work and there are no batteries. One must be careful but the coffee likes the bunn and I do too. Yeah, I'd drink the emergency back-up first. Those things are good!” 7:36:22 AM 5/29/07 “Sass, have you tried Java Juice? http://www.javajuiceextract.com/ Backpacker gives that stuff out at traildays and it will kick start your for sure. heck, one packet could actually make two cups of coffee if you weren't out the night before till the wee hours of the morning.” 7:44:22 AM 5/29/07 “I had a Bunn years ago and LOVED it!!!...Sass...maybe purchase one of those " basket" filters to keep for emergencies...or you can always do what Bill Bryson did...use toilet paper....naaa...stick to tea!!!....( do ya have any cheesecloth???....that may work... ...I think my worst Bunn story is I had ran some water thru for iced tea, and forgetting about it and trying to make a pot of coffee...so I had a pot of water on the warmer...and a pot of coffee running into it....well...all over the counter.....” 7:45:04 AM 5/29/07 “As long as your coffee doesn't taste like bunns...” 7:45:25 AM 5/29/07 “Honey Buns???” 7:59:32 AM 5/29/07 “Glad it was a good day. I can't imagine how I'd feel in that situation” 7:59:33 AM 5/29/07 “Sassafras - Well, you sure prepared some great coffee in Ohio. I really enjoyed it. And I didn't see any running over on the table. How did you manage that? I didn't see in what you prepared the coffee. last edited: 5/29/07 8:27:40 AM” 8:19:17 AM 5/29/07 “oh yeah.... I had a link to that Java Juice on the computer that gave up the ghost. Thanks for the reminder.” 8:56:13 AM 5/29/07 “I totally forgot about my french press....DOH! That's what no caffine will do I guess, lol. Hyway, Wolfeyes gave me a packet of that javajuice to try. I tucked it in my first aid kit and forgot about it.” 9:38:04 AM 5/29/07 “So you going for the french press or the javajuice stash? the spawning fish have splashed a bunch of eggs all over the window! Yuck!” 9:41:01 AM 5/29/07 “Are you posting from a fish tank?” 9:47:06 AM 5/29/07 “ha ha I have a 270 gallon fish bin outside the house on the back porch.” 9:48:12 AM 5/29/07 “Your fish are egging your house! I went for the 700 filter pack at Costco. I have my coffee now. Goes better with a turkey sandwich than I expected.” 11:32:29 AM 5/29/07 “how did you get the sandwich squeezed thru that tiny filter?” 11:40:50 AM 5/29/07 “We have a Bunn here at work. If you lift the lid where the water goes in, it shuts the water off...at least what hasn't already gone into the hot water storage.” 1:25:22 PM 5/29/07 “Hey, I wasn't crazy about egg salad before I read this thread....” 1:33:12 PM 5/29/07 “How bout caviar?” 1:38:03 PM 5/29/07 “Collecting the eggs for caviar without killing the fish is a bit more work than I care for. The fish in question has gone from being named "Tony" to "Antoinette." Om suddenly came to mind. ;)” 2:06:45 PM 5/29/07 “Hey!! I just remembered something cool about today (thank God I got that coffee), Abby is bridging to Brownies this afternoon. Yay! No more boring stuff. Well, maybe less boring stuff.” 2:16:12 PM 5/29/07 “I'll say good morning now since my laptop is in a room at the church where our conference is being held. I snuck in to tell you all I'm still about brain dead.....................time to go 'out'.... :) Conference is over on Thursday, then I pack the rest of the house up and move next Thursday, 7th June. I'll post after my new hookup is complete in the new parsonage......or before I unplug from home here.” 7:54:47 PM 5/29/07 “Caviar Salad Sandwiches? That just ain't right. Sounds like Chappy's got the Internet Jones, VBG” 9:12:55 PM 5/29/07 Hugs. “Good morning. It's a great day for having some fun.” 3:40:11 AM 5/30/07 “  My god, how could I fall in love with this 'Morgenmuffel'? No actual translation of 'Morgenmuffel' possible, but you know if you wake up next to one. Proposed translation 'morningmuffel'?” 4:05:26 AM 5/30/07 “good morning, kids are off to school and I have a 10 minutes of peace before I leave for work.” 6:24:42 AM 5/30/07 “good morning, off to work? sigh..... well i am trying to find a place to park my butt Thursday night then meet up with everyone Fri afternoon. yes that is my job :) I heart maps!!” 6:29:04 AM 5/30/07 “Morning! Going to be another hot one today. Highs expected to be 88°. Hoping it rains, there's a piddly little chance all week of storms. I don't think it ever gets above 30%. Have a great day all and Chappy, I hope the move goes well.” 6:38:45 AM 5/30/07 Jump to Page << prev
