Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

Wng, I am fascinated by your Chemex, it looks so simple and elegant. I know next to nothing about coffee, is it really as easy as copying what this lady does ? Brandende Vragen: Chemex - YouTube

(I don't understand her language, but I know you always like to hear something new, so what better way to start the week than learning a little Dutch - "Ketel", "Kop", err "Timer" )


Ron, are you on your second "Kop" of "Koffie" ?

It looks a little more complicated in Dutch, and sitting at a table with all those items, but basically how it's done. Weigh the coffee beans, grind, weigh the water as its poured and let the coffee bloom for 30 seconds before continuing the pour. You'd be proud of me...all my roasting and coffee brewing uses Celsius and grams as the scale.

Koffie en fris van smaak!

Everyone is up early, or is it late?

I remember mowing in my woods once and a big owl sat in a tree above me. Scared the crap out of me when i saw it. Guess it was hoping id stir up some food.

Yesterday i went out on the side porch with my walker and sat on the swing. Supposed to do that today in PT, so thought id practice first. Didnt stay out long, it was hot, no air moving, and stink bugs were attacking.

Son got home from the Delaware beach. I used to go there when i was his age. Told my wife we should go for a few days.. If only i could.

61°

Saw some cute pics of the neighbors at the county fair with their grandkids.

Yep, up early. Coco heard the coon outside at 4am and let me know about it. Found 2 stinkbugs on the porch yesterday...a slightly different color than last year's batch.

64 and humid last I looked...going to 90.

Don, great owl story. Always seems strange when the roles are reversed between cat and bird. Glad Gray2 scared it away .

Roy and Thomas, too early to be in the 40s!

Went to visit my wife's folks yesterday, then took her to Tex-Mex and a couple of stores to shop for them. They aren't doing too well. She's been staying with them the last few days.

Such temps puts little spring in the old step and one gets more done,only problem less day light.
Good thoughts for your wife's folks.

Need to pour first cup of coffee. 64° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 77° with clearing skies in afternoon. Got a bunch of little things done yesterday. Still no seat time. Need to take sold car in to get a slow leak in one of the tires repaired. Then back to to-do list that has not been worked on for over a month.

Don, glad the Owl attack failed.

Thomas, forecast temperatures here of 40° will give frost on the grass. I am not ready for it yet.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

good morning all. Warm and sticky 72 going to about 90 today in sun.
Headed out at 8am I hope to take motorhome down to tire shop, then rest of the day will likely be mowing lawn.

I admit some of those okra are picked a bit large, though I threw about a dozen out. One of the kinds is shaped like a beer barrel so it
naturally gets chubby, but smaller is usually better with okra. I figured on three sizes, small, medium, large, small being the ones you pickle,
medium being normal okra, and large being the stuff you cook forever in a pot.

Good evening all. 72F this morning, partly cloudy, calm wind. Light wind day, sky cleared off to a few high clouds and hi temp was 96F HI 99. Bike ride this morning, after lunch a 2 hour nap to recover from this morning's ride. One of the stepdaughter's friends organized a surprise birthday party, good time was had by all.

Who's birthday?
If yours, Happy birthday!
If your stepdaughter's same for her.

Well, Thomas, looks like the disturbance overnight was not a coon, but our version of Boo Boo...found three destroyed bird feeders and bent over steel hooks. Have not had a bear in the yard (that I know of) since late June.

Time to bring in the bird feed cans from the porch and the feeders at night.

Happy Birthday to the Mostly clan!
