The Dude Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Finishing up the second cup, then back to the garage to finish up some repairs on the Jeep. Then I need to run to the salvage yard and dealer ship looking for some hard to find parts that wore broke last night. Dang old plastic stuff all ways braking on me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later guys Thanks Chuck......I said to myself she's only been gone a week and taking up with a guy named "Big Ben" Guitar is not an easy instrument to learn! Have to turn you hand into a claw not to touch unwanted strings Car show was ok but not great. Stopped by the bakery for a cinnamon roll to top off the cheese egg sandwich. Welcome Rhetor to our coffee klatch! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhetor Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thank you for warm welcome, Gentlemen! My coffee today? Just regular Starbucks beans. My tasks today already have magnified . . . my elderly mother just moved in two weeks ago with us (my lovely wife and I are empty-nesters) for a long convalescence . . . between Mom and the sincerely better half (mom likes my wife more than me) today's task list are growing! Got mom up and breakfasted and sitting in a chair watching some TV. She (and her 2 little dogs too) loves the surround sound on the plasma. Asked her what she wanted for the big meal today . . . "Pot roast in a slow cooker." I was hoping for a ham sandwich! Got the pot roast into the slow cooker an hour ago. Now about to install three bathroom/bedroom handrails for her. Oh, and wife just asked me to install today the new kitchen lights which have been in the basement for a month. Now someone wants to see something they are interested in I am selling on local CL. Oh, and ai have to install the medical trapeze today. Did my wife just say I need to install a garage door opener too? We have lived fine without it for 10 years. Ha, ha! I guess I am off to Lowes to get some small hardware items to tweak my installs. I need more coffee! ;-) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnr Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Welcome Rhetor! Wish you were in my area...looks like you need something to do , and I have a list of projects. On cup # 2 of Cameron's Highlander Grog...up too late last night listening to some new tunes. Need to make a gas run up over the IL/WI border. They have more pure gas up there which I run in the chain saws and 2-cycle stuff. Need some vodka for some BM's and on the rocks. May get up on the roof to clean the two chimney runs for the wood stoves,...or creatively procrastinate another day. Weather more mild here lately and in the near future...just barely getting into the 40's. Have a great weekend! Oh, it's Saturday for your retirees, but I guess everyday is a weekend for you 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, it's Saturday for your retirees, but I guess everyday is a weekend for you Thanks . . . 62 degrees and sprinkling here in Atlanta. So all inside work for me. I am lucky . . . gas station near me just put in a high octane ethanol-free pump a year ago . . . no more long runs for gas! Is there a rush on the chimney cleaning? Maybe it will be a mild winter and you really can procrastinate on it! Chimney cleaning is always so much better below 32 degrees, right? ;-) Half way through the light install . . . time for a coffee break! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 My wife insisted on getting a Keurig for the house... It costs more per cup, but they sure are consistent and always a fresh cup. I usually get the cheapest I can find, but have been going through a lot of Seattle's Best. Bruce 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Maby try one of those aftermarket cups made for the Keurig, refill it with your normal brand much cheaper. I looked at them when we had that machine but never tried it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/4x-NEW-Solo-Reusable-Single-Cup-Keurig-Filter-Pod-K-Cup-Coffee-Stainless-Mesh-/251608469534?pt=Small_Kitchen_Appliances_US&hash=item3a9508901e 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted December 6, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2014 I need to find a bud who gas one of those critters, think the next time i see those refills in the store ill pick up a few, so i can sample We had one after they first came out, it was convenient and was really good. The thing I didn't like about it was the model we had was made for a normal coffee cup not a larger one like I use, but they may have fixed that by now ? And it was a good bit more expensive than how I normally made coffee, it may be better now since almost every brand has there coffee in those little cups now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 The newer Keurig has a selection button for large or regular cups. I still use the Mr. Coffee though it doesn't get the water hot enough. I nuke the coffee for about 25 seconds after brewing. I also have the adaptor for the Keurig so that you can use your own coffee rather than the pre packaged units. How old is the coffee in those little packages? Still drinking Mayorga from Costco. Going to head out to hear a little acoustic music down town by the river. Starts early so home before 9:30. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnr Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 That I still use the Mr. Coffee though it doesn't get the water hot enough. I nuke the coffee for about 25 seconds after brewing That's my biggest issue with coffee. We have a Cuisinart with 3 temp options and have it at the hottest. I am nuking my coffee way too much. I like it really hot. Have one of those electric warmers to keep it warm, but haven't used it in years. It's not like I have a cup of joe sittin' around long. Although the Cuisinart is decent, the next choice must excel and brewing really hot coffee and the burner be hotter. Coffee, HOT, HOT HOT, please. Beer almost as cold as you can get it before it starts to freeze. Pretty simple demands. "All I ask is what I have coming to me,... all I ask is for my fair share."

Rhetor Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) All done with the kitchen lights install . . . took 7 hours! Way too long up and down a ladder . . . had to rewire. None of the lights were grounded by the previous owner. He just cut the ground wires off short and let them hang. Another fine home repair mess I got myself into. I have got to get a full-time job again to pay someone to do this stuff! :-) Edited December 6, 2014 by Rhetor 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
