lol...

I bought a new-but-old-school-type electric coffee percolator and I'm pretty excited to make some coffee in it!

The only trouble with easier shifts is that they are slow as molasses.

I presently own about 2 bags each of nearly every sort of "common" dried bean/legume, so that I always have some on hand. So budget friendly, but so tasty. Can make a million sorts of meals from them. You can buy a lot of beans for the price of one DoorDash order.

Before there was AI, there was Al.

Looked up an old independent coffee shop/roaster (Water Street Coffee) whose coffee I absolutely LOVED when I worked at a year-long engineering assignment at a paper mill in Kalamazoo, Michigan about 30 years ago. Found out they're still in business with multiple locations in Kzoo,

Obligatory Pouring one out Never forgetting

Anchor Bar turned off touchtunes. I have one guess as to why

Well, of course I had to buy their logo tshirt and a logo mug in addition to some of their fine coffee beans. 🤷‍♀️

Well, after spending the last few hours researching this online coffee purchase from Kalamazoo, Michigan, I got thirsty for coffee and have made a pot. Somehow, I will make do with this French Press stuff until the percolator arrives in the mail tomorrow. Oh, the humanity!

Guillermo Del Toro’s “Frankenstein” film is excellent. Two night shift thumbs up from me.👍👍

There's some major percolating going on here! Trial run of the new Presto coffee percolator. I'm waiting on my Water Street Coffee delivery to arrive from Kalamazoo, so I'm using a bright bean from a Denver roaster in the meantime. Exciting times!

There's no place like home. Not leaving it for the next few days except for taking a walk or two if the weather is suitable, or if the optometrist calls to say my eclectic eyewear is ready for pickup.

History is so exciting as an adult.

I was invited to attend an upcoming concert -- an uninteresting one, to me -- with a few other nurses, but was especially relieved to get out of it since I'm saving every extra penny to spend during my upcoming trip. I appreciate the invite, but I really do savor my introvert

Still life with black coffee.

Just last week...

Goodbye, bright and shiny new pennies. I will miss you, but I will still stop to pick up any of your tarnished brethren that I spot lying on the sidewalk.
