The Dude Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Morning gang, coffee is Starbucks Breakfast Blend. Not to bad from the Keurig, of coarse I had use two cups and brew on the medium size cup setting. Breakfast is maple and brown sugar oatmeal, you know the instant stuff. Well not much on the board today, working/cleaning the garage, watching the Vikings take on the Pack. Got to go and see some cool gear yesterday, Frazier X-215-W, Altec voice of theater(the real deal), and prototype of the earthquake that was made for the movie earthquake. All in an old grain mill on the old Lincoln Highway, all so known as Highway 6, and Highway 30. This is the oldest building on the highway dating back to the 1800's. I wish I had taken some photos, I will once the gentleman who is turning it into an audio museum is finished. Here is some info on the old Lincoln High Way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Highway 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My formost memorable experience was in this Japanese theater, the movie "Midway".....yeah, whole theather PACKED/sold out with the people of Japan. Me/my shipmate sitting a FULL one head higher than anyone in the theater, were getting a little "Snear"/"Eye" once in a wile. I at the time, was on the Midway. I do miss those days, Japan is really a pretty cool place, keep in mind there are still signs on a few businesses that state, "No Round Eyes" Edited January 3, 2016 by minermark 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my Dad said I'll take care of you till the day we die, he meant it. My Dad has 7 children trying to convince him to put her in a nursing home, he put her in one for a weekend, and said they weren't caring for her so he brought her back home. Looking back, I really admire what he did. She died in their home after a 16 year battle with Alzheimer's. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKP'S BOSS Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Anyway........ Mark....let me tell ya, we don't run out of coffee....ever.... The Boss is all over it. If it's less than two pounds in the stash she's on it... She has a deal worked out with the local DD manager..... When she goes to get coffee it's a 100 bones.... This is the Boss's coffee stash.... four accross.....four deep....and the one lone de-caf..... Check in later... MKP :-) GUILTY... However I was not prepared for the broken friggin coffee pot. When Mark said we will stop for coffee on the way to work, I said I am going to the store NOW...show stopper... We have shopped for coffee pots for years. Just like toasters. You find one you like but the reviews are bad. Sometimes I think people just want to b!tch, but sometimes the bad reviews are right. Every coffee pot we have gotten over the last 20 years has cost more than $150. None have lasted more than a couple years. This time I win. Got a Mr coffee basic 12 cup pot for $15. DONE. maybe I will buy another one for a back-up. Maybe another grinder too. Self insurance Did MKP :-) ever tell you that he did not drink coffee before hooking up with me? Lol 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
