Nope, decaf is blasphemous in my house. That's Dark Magic, one of my favorite K-Cup flavors.
Morning (still?) XplosiV, how are things on your side of the pond? By my rough understanding it is just before noon there, right?

So the funny thing is, I actually make coffee the old fashioned way... boil water and pour it over the grounds. Never have found a machine that makes it that good imo.

And Rachel.... if you have sunk lower than Treb...
You may want to go back to sleep and try it all over again in a few hours!

Ah the coffee debate.
I've tried em all. Have a nice espresso machine sitting in the basement. Honestly think my moka (stove top espresso maker) is pretty damn good and you can always find em cheap at Marshalls etc.
K cups are fine. Haven't found one I really like.
Have tried coffee from a Clover and wasn't too impressed.
Have the same Cuisineart coffee maker from years ago. Grind fresh beans each morning. Use Pleasant Morning Buzz roast from Whole Foods (actually a decent deal price per pound) and it gets the job done.

Oh, I wish. I have hours to make up on though...

I used to do coffee that way, but when it's just me drinking it a Keurig made more sense.

Then Toma got into coffee...

Grinding you own coffee is always the best. I am the only coffee drinker in the house, so I don't brew an entire pot. The Keurig is the best fit for me.

Im still here working though, I'm from the UK so I'm up before you guys

I used to be. Then I turned I in my Union Jack flag and got me a Stars and Stripes instead. All so I could legitimately sleep in while Britain is traditionally working (X of course being the obvious exception!)

Rachel A

Ok, black silk its gonna be. I've an hour or so to kill now watching this data load spin around so I might as well get some java to support what few functional brain cells I have this morning.

XplosiV

Ah there you are my good man, I'm also from the UK, but I'm typically up at 4:45am for my day shifts, although I don't usually get around to AF until 6ish.

Let me introduce you to a few of the regular whacos Erm lovely inhabitants of our glorious lounge;

Rachel is our resident UK expat & wineo , K'lin is our adopted 'lounge mom' and hostess of the all night pool parties, Unforgiven, dread, AD are a few top guides and all round nice fellas, then there's treb, well, you'll see when you meet him for yourself, and EarlyMon, OfTheDamned & jerofld are some of the quality mods who help keep this rabble in line and also kick back with us. We also have the lovely BabyBlues and dawnierae who pop over when they can, and numerous others who make this place what it is.

Now that's that done, who's for a beer then?

Oh and Pup, your reckoning was spot on, nearly half past midday here chap.

Already reported Rach.

Apparently there's no need to announce the spam, reporting will do the job just fine

Rachel A

As had I.

Unforgiven

Black Silk, another fine selection.
Well, since it is noon there (see, it's always noon somewhere) and you asked, here you go.

kymberlin

Well, apparently I don't know his to use the calendar ! My appt is Monday ... missed the gym for nothing. So, espresso it is to help me catch up.

Root MasterX good summary of us.:O

BabyBlues

Morning gang!
I'm sure I'll be around today and tomorrow just possibly not as much. Headed to Lake George for their car show today.

K'lin your just too kind! I'm sure I could do better but my mind is in about a million other places atm, so that will have to do.

Now then, pup, let's relax with beer and be merry!

kymberlin

Have a blast ! Sounds like fun. (The lake part, not the car part).... we will keep it together for ya

Rachel A

Morning BB!

Unforgiven

Have fun BB. I really have to get back to Lake George.

Rachel A

WooHoo - my data load is finished. I'm actually 8 hours ahead of schedule in my first week!

Now to start work on Mondays stuff...

XplosiV

Sounds like a good start to the new job, who's a good girl then

Rachel A

I need a second coffee. My first one barely touched me.

Probably some NoDoz as well. Still got some left despite Novartis recalling them!

XplosiV

I needa nap but it won't happen.

BabyBlues

I absolutely love the Lake but I like looking at the cars too. By the end of tomorrow I will have seen loads of classics. I enjoy the ones that show the progression of work to restore them. And I have to stand at least a foot away from any of them that have the harlequin pint color otherwise I'll get into trouble for drooling on the car.





:waves:
Hi!



Thanks Pup! You really do need to get back!

Rachel A

Sit back, close your eyes and relax....

Now, breath deeply and slowly count down from 20.

(steps quietly away to fetch custard pie prop from stage left)

Zipster00

Thank you for the introductions, much appreciated I will try and get involved in here as much as I can

I'm on my fourth cup already. This day can't end quick enough.

Rachel A

I dispute the charge that I'm a wino. Whilst it is true my poison of choice may be a glass or five of White Zinfandel, I like to feel that I am an equally opportunity alcohol abuser.

My liver had no boundaries as to what abuse it hates most, I just find White Zin incredibly cheap and better tasting than antifreeze...

AntimonyER

Yeah, I agree, I don't get the point of decaf. Two cups and a 20oz of caffeinated soda in me, still trying to shake it off. Have an afternoon class too, no way I don't fall asleep in there.

Decaf's my evening drink. I like a decaf coffee before I go to bed and take my meds with.

But daytime, nope. No point.

XplosiV

Finally got some of my custom jewellery last night just waiting on the rings now *taps foot*

BabyBlues

Pics?

kymberlin

Jewellery?

alsaces daddy

I'm still on my first iced coffee from dunkin donuts. Cream sugar and french vanilla. I feel pretty good today. oh and good morning you lovely crazy buncha folks!

Chat later. Gotta go play on Domino's pizza's roof and fix their AC because of someone else's shotty electrical know how.

XplosiV

Aww, now you want pics? I knew I should have taken some earlier when I took it all off, it's a pain to get em back on again lol gimme a few.

alsaces daddy

Sweet! I'm in latham!

BabyBlues

You should have known!!

I used to be in Cohoes a lot so I know the general area.

XplosiV

Right, let's see if I can remember the order;

From left, Silver curb chain & bracelet are old, but anodized, watch was for my 30th, titanium, the bracelet next to that was customised to look similar to the watch with a 3mm ruby set into it, then the other bracelet and necklace were finished brushed instead of polished done to a custom length (my wrists are too meaty to take anything shorter than 8 1/2 inch) so everything after the watch is new & titanium grade 6/6/2 also got miss X's bracelet but she's not here but she's over the moon with hers, also brushed titanium.

kymberlin

Mr Jewelry Master X




Beautiful! I love the watch bracelet combo!. Mr. P'Lin had a custom made wedding set made a few years back for me. Meant so much more than just buying it off the shelf somewhere.

That's some nice jewelry.
And K'lin that's so sweet.

OfTheDamned

On tapatalk that jewelry looks like whips and chains.

Loving your interpretation OTD

& thanks K'lin & BB, when the rings turn up I'll get some pics up of them too.

XplosiV

If I'm honest I was a tad bit dubious after we put the order in, about having the ruby in the bracelet, but now I have it I love it. It's my birthstone after all, and my ring has a single 3mm ruby set in it as well, so I'm hoping the watch, ring and bracelet all pretty much match as a set.

alsaces daddy

I work all in this area. Mostly troy and Albany.

Finished the AC problem already. If you're going to mess with something at least know what you're doing. Two blower motors toppin 15 amps Max can not and will not run together on a 20 amp breaker. Just run another line! Ugh.:bangh ead:

kymberlin

And some is titanium. Ms. Vampire, Please don't play with silver in the Hole ... Treb isn't good at cleanup. He will remind you about it every 2 days or so.


Please do !

Unforgiven

I'm not even an electrician and I know that.

I'm guessing it was set up by someone that bid the job for a fixed price and didn't want to spend the time running a second line versus an electrician on an hourly rate.
