Thanks for the pics Del!
I had a great time, and look forward to next time!

You missed the best one, Sunday night, Carl the butcher at the store picked the best 3 for us, he looked at all he had cut. ;)

As Slim was cutting his with a table knife I told him I read on Facebook that a steak cooked beyond medium rare is dry and tough.    ::)

Morning y'all.
Coffee and iced tea are ready.

'Tis 56 and overcast. "Breezy. Showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the lower 70s. South wind 10 to 15 mph increasing to 15 to 25 mph with gusts to around 40 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 90 percent."

Afternoon all.

Sunny with some scattered clouds.  5mph breeze and a high of 95.  Not too bad a day here I guess.

We're done with moving gravel for a few weeks.  We were using an F-250 with the 460 to move one yard at a time 10 miles for six yards.  We went through 20 gallons of gas. ::)

Today I'm just taking it a little easy.  Doing small stuff around the house.  And paperwork for the new job.  Good lord there's a lot of paperwork.   :o  I went a month without hearing anything, then BOOM! 100 pages to fill out, a physical exam, drug screening, and fingerprinting all need to be done within the next 8 days.

Howdy guys. This is certainly an odd thread imo. Are we snap chatting? If it's about coffee I use folgers with half and half and french vanilla. The only bugs around here lately have been biting flies but the skeeters will hatch out before long. Personally I need to get off my lazy butt and finish my bathroom repaint job so that I can get out to my shop and have some real fun. I shot my New Services at last weeks very hot match, I'm not sure what I'll use for Julys match. But to celebrate the 4th I'll probably do my 1912 summer uniform and shoot my 1911 and a DA. It's been very nice the last 2 days, after dinner I've been sitting in my gazebo watching the rabbits eat my grass.

You think the thread is odd? Why is that?

I'm afraid that the thread doesn't have a thread. Seems to wander around abit. Part weather report, part situation report. Remember I'm an old fart and confuse easily. Sometimes it's all I can do to get through a 20 rd pistol, 10 rifle and 8 sg WB stage without a couple of p's.

The coughing part will be easy.  One of our local species of willow has decided to toss a bunch of cotton.  So I have a bunch of fluff on my windshield now.  ::)

We're having the annual late June snows, they don't call them cottonwoods for nothing. ;D

Why shouldn't the tread wonder, it's a bunch of guys having cyber coffee with friends.

That is exactly how I feel about Starbucks! Overpriced burnt coffee, profiting a company that won't support our soldiers in the field. But, I grew up on Folgers, and it is a taste of home to me. These days, I have even stooped to drinking store brand, when I used to drink hand roasted Kenyan AAA and Kona. Either way, at the end of the day, I love to have a hot espresso, watch the sun go down, and the bats come out :)

Baltimore Ed,
Welcome to the mix. Have a cup and relax.

Starbucks taste like mulch from the flowerbeds.  That is why they add all the garbage to it.  Recent years i have a KCup. I like community coffee- folgers black silk. And any of the wal- mart brands. They are as good as anything on market for half the price.  Orange and blue box the milder- red and brown the stronger. I buy one small box of each and pick for the mood.

Probally have to 'splain this to the Folgers drinkers.

Um... exsqueeze me? That is similar to the Spanish or Hungarian way to fix coffee. Used by Nomads over coals. You dump the coffee grounds in, add water, let it simmer. Just be careful not to slosh it too much when pouring. Dang old farts think they know it all  ::)

They do and don't ever forget that.  Often called Turkish coffee and made in an ibrik.

Afternoon all.

Sunny and hot in California, per usual summer weather.  More of the same in the forecast.

There are so many opinions about coffee at the office that we have three coffee machines.  ::)I bring my own, since the coffee hasn't even been started when I leave.

Don't worry, Ed.  This thread is confusing at times.  It's all the old farts.  ;)

You can look back 10 years in archives - many have gone iff to greener pastures. But thread has really never changed. Post what you want.
