Thought of the day .

On another forum I'm on (gun forum) there's a thread about roasting your own beans. These guys do it with popcorn poppers and other devices. They order green coffee beans from all over the world. Now thats dedication.

I’m gonna have to be a little bit more committed, or bored, before I start roasting my own beans. Probably smells great though.

I’ve done K cups and the cost adds up for them foofy cartridges. I’m so cheap I got one of them K cups that you could put your own Folgers in before I realized I shoulda just gotten another Mr. Coffee. I do grind my own beans though.

My morning coffee and my dinner are the 2 things I’m not willing to cheap out on.

The way I see it is that I’m out here every day busting ***. I think I / we deserve the best to get going & the best to come home to. Everything else I can roll with the punches.

Guess what arrived yesterday. We’ll see if it sticks around.

You'd have to take that one to Goodwill because Habitat ReStore doesn't stock stuff like that

That’s too nice of a cup to just get rid of. If I get tired of the whole French press rigamarole, it will become a pencil holder or paint brush storage with lacquer or MS, or a coin collector or…

I’m thinking, maybe dreaming, of orange bundt cake with glaze all over it.

Definitely too nice to toss. I've never used a press. We'll need a full report, then a follow-up a week later.

This is getting serious! I ordered a conical burr grinder. Still cheaper than going to the bar though.

 

[highup]

.....oooh, my fancy pants
Man, you're getting serious.
I'm gonna try placing a couple tablespoons of beans between two 6" oak boards and smack with a 2lb hammer to crunch em up good.
If the coffee turns out good, I'm gonna start selling the Beanwhacker 23 to aficionados across the globe.

So far the coffee isn’t bitter when I French press it. Not sure how I feel about that because I look forward to a good hearty dark roast that has a hint of burnt to it.

Come to think of it Starbucks has a dark roasted bean that isn’t too bad. Amazon is supposed to deliver my package tomorrow so I better make a bean run so I can do it all proper like Saturday morning.

This morning I realized I spent a bunch money to try and make a cup of coffee that tastes just like my Mr. Coffee makes without using my Mr. Coffee. I must be bored or something. I need a tractor so I can dig holes, not this coffee hobby BS. Lol.

So I called my buddy this morning to discuss my latest realization and he was telling me about how he’s getting into beard oil n **** and he has maybe 20 different kinds of beard oil and a fancy brush he’s playing with. Some oils his wife likes the scent of, some he likes the feel of. Prolly has about as much invested in his beard oil as I do in my coffee grinder and press. Not too much but enough that you would be mad if you lost it.

What’s your hobby?

What’s your hobby?

Fishing…

Spent more money than I care to admit on lures I’ve never even used… It’s a bit of an addiction. I’ve long since come to my senses and kicked the habit of buying junk I don’t need… Still have a small tackle shop in my garage…Donated a lot of it to schools with fishing clubs and Boy Scouts…

Still like fishing though….

Brewed my own beer for a while too… That didn’t last long. Too much work.

I have done woodworking for years. I started wood carving a few weeks back.

What does one do with beard oil?

Other terms are also frowned upon:

"Cake walk"
"Peanut gallery"
"Grandfather clause"
"Rule of thumb"
"Bonkers"

About 3k miles then you gotta change it.

It helps to keep your skin moisturized as well as it makes your beard more manageable cus everyone knows beards need to be managed. I never grew a beard long enough that it needed managed but I would get dry patches of skin. Beard oil cleared that right up for me.
