Coffee is coffee to me. Strong and black Columbian from Costco in the one gallon size can. Guess I have had better but I'm not into taking any more time to make it than Mr Coffee takes.

Costa Rican Tarrazo from Cost Plus. I buy the whole beans and my machine grinds it up right before brewing.

Nothing else goes in the mug.

At the office I usually suck down a few Peet's Ristretto Nespresso espresso pods throughout the day...

Gotten really lazy and bored with roasting beans. BBBQ too for that matter. As for coffee I've sort of settled in to Illy. Never thought that would happen.

My neighbor says his three backyard oaks has cost him like $10k over the last 20+ years.

About right. I have six. Have all the deadwood cleaned out ever four years. It’s always a minimum of $1,000. Usually around $1,500. Removing each one, because of the age/size would run about $15,000.

Often get comments on how beautiful the back yard is. It is. And often times 5 or 6 degrees cooler. But it is a game of Lumber Roulette. Wait to long, we could have a catastrophe. Taking them all down would be as depressing as it would be expensive.

Six ounces of concentrated espresso with three or more tablespoons of sugar (Cafe Cubano) made with Bustello Cuban Espresso Roast.

Our builder planted a river birch in the front lawn. A single river birch. Who does that? We call it Charlie Brown and it is pathetic.

Trimmed my toe nails, argued with T-dub. Replaced the flowers in the window boxes and re-potted a couple indoor plants.

Chinese delivery on it's way, I don't fee like cooking.

Mail: IRS says they owe ME money. WTF? that's never happened for.. like ever. I try to hit as close to an even trade with them each tax year. Apparently I was over taxed or over paid about $250ish back in 2019. Nothing to write home about, I'm not even sure I remember the year of 2019.

I ordered another monitor for my home office/school enclave yesterday. Current one has some annoying lines and the color is off, kinda irritating. Vizio with built in Chromecast. Never used the Chomecast so not needed. Prolly give it to a neighbor kid for his video games or suptin.

In summary... a do nothing day.

If I lived closer…

One of the joys of living in the woods was to clear the dead lumber. I’d cut the logs to 5 feet long and carry em up to the house, making stacks by size and type. I would have enough for a bonfire each weekend. I’d clear the leaves in the fall and have enough for 4 weekends of burns.

Damn, I miss it…

I planted an ash tree in my front yard 20 years ago. The tree the landscapers planted got damaged by a weedwhacker and died. 😰

Anyway... that tree shades the whole front of my house and cuts down on cooling costs. I've had an arborist come to trim it twice, to keep it from touching my house or the neighbors house. It's a beautiful tree, but it drops a ton of leaves and the roots are pushing up a part of my walkway... but I don't regret planting it.

Back yard in one my houses we had a nice shade tree over the patio. Silver Maple or something like that, if I remember correctly. Fast growing tree for a tree. Very branchy (lack of a better word) and needed pruning to keep lower limbs from intruding on the patio and maintain head room. It was great to climb. Problem was, it was kinda softwood and because it was branchy (that word again) pretty knotty... was always a risk of snapping limbs off in heavy wet snow.

I wanted to cut it down on my terms in a controlled fashion and before a storm would take it down on it's terms. If it went down from a storm it likely would take out the stockade fence next to it. I never did take it down, I liked the shade that it cast over the patio. The pruned limbs fed the fire for the fire pit where many marshmallows turned into smores for the kids and warmed the backyard patio for cigars after the sun went down.

Kinda miss that little old house. I wonder if the tree still stands.

Had two sweet gum trees in the front yard. Evil bastids that dropped seed pods year round. Spikey golf ball sized seed pods by the hundreds. Was ecstatic to see them go.

Grilled chicken Cesar salad. Few hours past dinner time but I wasn't hungry earlier and lost time talking on the phone with Mom (that woman can talk the leaves off of trees).

Three things that I need for a good grilled chicken Cesar salad: Grilled chicken (must be still warm), crisp romaine lettuce, croutons, shredded parm cheese and good dressing... OK, that's 5 but the dressing and chicken are a given... and the salad... and this remote control... that's all I need...

(mental note: cook up a pound of bacon for crumbles to be used on just about anything other than toothpaste... well... let's not discount toothpaste just yet)

Not sure homework is on the docket tonight. Magic 8 Ball says "Not Likely." I'm not one to argue wit da Magic 8 ball unless it says bacon is bad. Then the gloves come off!
I'll have to buckle down and do double time in the morning on homework with a pot of coffee... maybe with bacon crumbles.

Would it be a waste of bacon if one added bacon crumbles to the coffee grounds before brewing it?

Asking for a friend... who just recently has a craving for bacon. Might have to do an intervention.

I just saw a photo of the house I grew up in that my dad built like around 1965. Some of the trees/shrubs are still there but morphed into mature trees I couldn't recognize.

Agreed. Took one down myself. Very satisfying. Almost went very badly, but very satisfying.
