What are you doing today?

No, actually, you can never have too much coffee.

Hahaha, I knew you'd say that :D

Yes you can, if you saw the amount we had (including the couple of day out inbound order), it's a bit silly, as we can't consume it quick enough and it runs the risk of getting old.

2 pounds? 5 pounds total? 20 pounds? 50 pounds? Maybe those quantities are pushing the absurd - but there's definitely a "too much" line in the sand :)
 
I mean, I think I'm actually being disrespectful to the coffee :LOL:

Bones Coffee is killing me with the good deals, and then I bought a ton, and then I got a bunch of discounts/freebies, hahaha, looks like we'll have BOTH French presses going on a few mornings. Nearly 90 ounces of glorious Joe :D

I am reasonably certain that a small jar of instant coffee won’t count as having “too much coffee“. So… Since it is less than too much coffee, but more than nothing at all, technically speaking it might actually qualify as “less is more” for some definitions of coffee?

True story. The small jar usually goes off before we finish it. It’s only for tradesmen that come here.
 
Just finished watching a fascinating documentary called "Sound City," about a small recording studio in Van Nuys, California. It's a remarkable glimpse into watching musicians working together with the revered NEVE sound board recording system, and the documentary traces the history of this place, which looked like a hole-in-the-wall dump but which eventually attracted rock musicians who became stars in their own right and also more than a few established stars. If you're into rock music you'll enjoy this documentary!
 
Well, since this:

We are drinking up :)

I'm listening to some Screaming Trees, Mark Lanegan the lead singer died today at 57, also have some of his solo work queued up, a real talent.

Also hung Plankton on our "parking assist" cord in the garage ... :ROFLMAO:
 
Some may recall my main bedroom shower excitement, the final product was excellent, a buttery smooth faucet, brand new hardware all around - we also did a new stainless rod and hangers, a lovely new material inner liner, the shower is GLORIOUS.

... or so we thought.

The hot water has been running out pretty quickly, like ~10 minutes, it's intensely hot until it does (that's important for the diag ...), it also heats up again quickly.

So I have determined that it's the lower heat element and/or the lower thermostat (hot but low availability), so I tracked OEM part numbers, ordered at like a 30% discount from Amazon and they'll be here on Thursday, it's a reasonably new (~3-4 years) Rheem water heater, big, dual element, with like am 8 year warranty, but I'm not even sure how that worked for components and who/how they're installed, so I got both parts for ~$25 :)

For me it's not about too much on the ordering side, in fact once in awhile I run out. But I do sometimes overdo consumption of coffee in a given day. Usually though I stick to two or max three cups a day, and I take coffee with a lot of nonfat milk, so the caffeine effect is far less than when I was working and somehow managing to go through 10 or 15 cups of black coffee without thinking anything of it. That much would kill me for sure at this point, I think.

That is not coffee.

That's why I started keeping one little box of instant packets on hand... it's like a distant early warning system. I see it in the cupboard now and then and think "omg am i gonna have to drink that stuff? I better re-up on the real thing!"
 
Anyone here imbibe Yerba Mate? Lately it's been my afternoon caffeine kick. This stuff is potent. Or at least it is to my small 95lb frame. It's great when working & crunching numbers but it's easy to slide into the arena of uh-oh.....I may have taken one sip too many. :oops:
