Wow ya'll I thought I was a big coffee holic! You guys take it to another whole level!
Ron you roast your own coffee beans? Wow!
I just buy the best I can at the grocery store. Now I feel let down.

Yes!


I have a roaster like this one that I bought on ebay 10 years ago used. I had to rebuild it a couple of years ago but it was not too hard to do. The blower motor and heater went out on it.

Good morning Cafe.
Coffee is made. No tea this morning unless you want green tea.

Good morning, Cafe.
It's coolish here now but will get warm today.
We're coming into a heat wave next week and I am not looking forward to it.
I have a strong suspicion that my mom's house has no insulation in the walls and I'll be installing that in the not too distant future.
DH leaves for a near 3 week vacation in one week!!

I hope you get a lot done in those three weeks!

Has already started here.
Only working early mornings....10 days of 90°+.

Storm hit bad here Friday night....mini tornadoes or micro-bursts or what ever.
Just got power back last evening...which means running water, ice, and fans again.
2 HUGE trees came down, luckily they fell away from the house or it could have been much worse than just a mess in the yard. A 3rd came very close and few others.
One coop window broke, wind lifted 2, props fell out and the slam shut broke one.
Again, very lucky, all but a couple tiny pieces of glass didn't come into coop.
All the shade cloths went flying, one ripped off the coop wall.

Got the shade cloths mostly fixed and the broken window removed.
Lots of ladder work, wore me out.
Hope I can get a piece of plexi to replace the old double pane.

The wind blew a tarp stand into the neighbors car today and dented the car. The wind is fairly strong today.
