Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

[duluthralphie]

Morning Perchie!
I have one book I bet you would love. It's called "Farmers and Mechanics Manual" published in 1880. It's a fat old book loaded with formulas and diagrams and measures and........................!
All pertaining to just about anything to do with farming weights and measures and just about any machinery of that century.

Is it an original or a reprint? Even a reprint of that would be so cool......


BTW I really had to work for my coffee this morning. My first cup went off without a hitch....

My second cup, I was out of k-cups in the coffee drawer. My DW, affectionately known as the WWD (wicked Witch's Daughter) was in the bathroom for her normal 2 hour routine, which I will never understand. I nicely asked her to get me some new K-cups. The response was not fit to print here....


So I had to walk the whole 15 ft to the storage shelves and reach to the top shelf to get myself a K-cup. Then all the way back to the Keurig! Once I got the new k-cup in the marvelous machine, it told me it needed water. I asked the WWD to get me some water. Same unprintable response....


So I had to walk the 4 steps to the sink fill the pitcher with water and fill the Kuerig myself! Finally I could brew my second cup!



The lengths I go to for quality coffee in the morning is utterly amazing!

It's original but I haven't researched if it's a first edition. There's nothing on the cover page about that except stating that it was sold by subscription only.

Wow!!! you sure got your exercise in before you even had your second cup!!!!

Never tried one of the K-cup machines. Mostly because it would take 3 of those things to just fill my favorite stoneware mug!!!

I know!! After all the exercise I got, just getting coffee today I might not be able to get anything else done. I might even need a nap.

Naps are for old people.

Naps are for old people.

No, they are only for Grandparents even young ones like me.

Might be a good day for a nap if it's as cold and wet by you this morning as it is over here on the otherside of the big river. Went out to do morning chicken chores and had to wrap my hands around my coffee cup to thaw them out!

It is cold and wet here, but I am only 15 miles from the big river so I get the crappy weather no matter which side it is suppose to be on...

I have accomplished a chore this morning, and even let my coffee get cold doing it, just so the WWD would stop bellyaching about it. For 2 years now I have heard about how much the squeaky door to the bathroom and our bedroom bother her. She never shuts up about it.

So I in a magnanimous jester, got up from my coffee, made the journey to the bathroom and bedroom and oiled the dang door. Did she appreciate the effort? NO..

Instead after the job was done, and I came back to my cold coffee, all I got was " thank-you, why did it take 2 years to do that?"


Makes me not want to rush the next job on the honey do list!

Holy cold caffeinated beverages, Ralphie, you had to oil a door? At least you got a "thank you." When I finally got tired enough of the squeaking hinges on the bathroom door, I rummaged around and found my trusty oil can, and did it myself. As I was applying the oil and working it into the hinge, my husband looked up and said, "it won't do any good," even as with the next swing of the door, the hinges were silent.
