jason str Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Eight O'clock.....use to grind that for folks when I was a bag boy at the A&P in the mid 60s. Always smelled wonderful. I do have a small grinder and have recently ground (or is it grinded?) some Trader Joe's cheap beans. Okay.....for you serious guys....I bet you drink yours black? No cream, sugar, artificial sweeteners? I neglected to say I use coconut cream and Stevia. That's got to go....right? Yes i think it was A&P's house brand.I remember saving their green stamps. I need cream in my coffee or i get heartburn, it may just be too acidic for me i guess. You are showing your age... My parents got a lot of stuff with green stamps. We can get 8 o'clock coffee, usually on special, for $4.99 a bag, which I think is 12 oz. I drink mine black, and really dislike the fru fru flavors. Its my go to brand and remember mom and the neighbors discussing what they were saving up for. Should be a great holiday weekend, a few friends pitched in for some bottles of booze, beer and fireworks. Perfect combination of fun, hope nobody loses a finger. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's free. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOwn Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Happy Friday Evening :) Work is over, the worst thing that happened today is the network drives were infected with Zepto ransomware... Users are advised to take extra precautions when browsing the web and especially when dealing with newly received emails.... I don't agree with this statement... Other than that, there is little else to be done than wait for a working decrypter to be released in order to recover your files. There is something called backup, backup your data every night and perform a total restore from the last successful backup that wasn't infected...Yeah some days data might be lost but that is no big deal. Oh yeah!!!! pull the infected pc and re-image it... http://www.tripwire.com/state-of-security/latest-security-news/the-newest-online-threat-zepto-ransomware/ So on the way home I stopped at the local food store and bought a 12 pack of Pilsner Urquell :) :) Edited July 1, 2016 by Steve_S 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSamuel Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I remember green stamps, S&H, I'm old I think there was another brand also ? Tob Value stamps in INdiana. My Mom saved up enough to get herself a new bicycle one time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 All you people with your fancy coffee machines I'll stick with my old (older than me) Drip-O-Lator coffee maker my grandfather gave me, no filters needed. Only thing is it's slow, but I am also, were a good match. Dad had one of those stove top percolators. We think at best he rinsed it out,maybe, and put in a few scoops of Hills Brothers from the big can. I think he put it on when he got up to go out to do chores so it was ready when he got in. Took a thermos full to work? Always drank it black. Our youngest likes the Gevalia in the foil pouch from Sweden. And iced things from Star Bucks etc. Our oldest has even learned to drink coffee. My brother Mike and myself don't yet anyway drink coffee. Love the smell of fresh ground coffee but never have liked the taste. Not even loaded up with all kinds of sugary syrupy goodies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Sneeking in for a quick hello! Have a great fourth weekend everyone! My son is ring bearer for a wedding and then we are retreating for home for the weekend - the fourth is an uber camping weekend up here so we stay home and go when there aren't so many people out! Here's a quick pic of a storm that rolled in yesterday at the rehearsal. It was fun to watch! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Very nice documentation Gary and everything looks delicious. I went to breakfast at 7 am at a little place called the Goody Goody House. Was up early getting the LF off to tennis in the next county. I usually get the same thing each time....sausage gravy over grilled biscuits with two over medium eggs on top Then over to her new place to continue taking down venetian blinds and brackets. Kitchen should be completed this week and master bath is underway. Interior painting started yesterday. LF and I will be volunteering a couple of hours on the 4th to clean up Masonboro Island off the ICWW. Sadly it is used as a party place and some folks do not clean up after themselves. The wildlife often suffers because of the trash. Then later that night my bud from LA has offered the use of his place on the river across from the USS North Carolina to watch the fireworks. So there you have it.....how will you guys be celebrating? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Your buddy owns that place? That seems like primo real estate - we walked there, saw the sepentarium and had lunch near there on our trip last month, it's lovely! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Chuck is your profile pic near the oceanic pier or is that johnnie mercers? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Drank a cup first thing or near it, of course. Nancy over at sister's for the weekend. Ran some cable matters brand cable to NEC int. amp from computer to check the Chorus out with youtube music. Sounding pre ty darn good so far. Considering listing my SR-7500 local, as I have liked the Marantz but, really have no need for it. Plasma has stereo speaker connections and finding the Panny 80 watt internal amp sufficient to drive the RF-3's at decent level. So, puttering around doing the fun stuff first before I tackle a couple of chores like, vacuuming, cleaning my bathroom, and the all important lawn mowing. Listen to music, watch some Netflix, surf some web. Maybe go over to where she is on the 4th, or just stay here. Decide on selling some bookshelf speakers. Everyone have a good weekend...

Tarheel Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 That was by the Oceanic pier Dave. Got there for a "howl at the moon" party on the full moon. One of my first few dates with the LF. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thank you Chuck as always! It is getting time to share new photos of the deck once more. New, more subdued LED lighting over the plants this year, the LED narrow spots were just SO intense after dark, so, two years of that, and I was ready to make it look a bit more inviting.. Looks like everyone has their weekend pretty much covered. Today, I started work around the 'estate' with major weeding. I was pulling up everthing in site that was not flowers and such. More to go, but I have never used a line trimmer, do have one - an electric which was a gift, but have not fired it up... Later, put a fresh blade on the Toro mower, new plug and air filter and set about mowing........now I am pretty wiped and ready for a shower, then some good wine with nosh with our live program on NPR ... Later meeting up with the usual gang over in RTM for some tunes and friendship :emotion-29: .... No plans for the Fourth, just going to lay low, work on music and since I am the secretary for our motorcycle rider's club, I should be doing the minutes from the last meeting.......what fun All for now, time to get cleaned up! Enjoy your Saturday and evening my friends.. ...............Gary 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akdave Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 That was by the Oceanic pier Dave. Got there for a "howl at the moon" party on the full moon. One of my first few dates with the LF. I thought it looked familiar. Immediately this side (ref your pic) of the pier, is a four plex condo. My uncle and aunt own one of those condos. They were hosting the reunion which is why we were in Wrightsville. Sadly, he passed this week and we will be heading to his funeral next week in Ohio. I really love that whole area! The beach is just wonderful! I agree with you (regarding our phone conversation) leave it alone on the weekends!! Wow!! It's good to see people are allowed to walk out on the pier again. I think the last time we were there, it was condemned or at least closed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
