The Enforcer slammed and locked the door on the old room a couple hours ago without warning. Good thing I had some coffee starter Hiding in the back of the garage for just such an occasion!

 

An hour ago I was not brave enough to start a new breakroom. I thought that the world had ended and I was too stupid to realize it. Its possible that us up north guys are the only ones left. Aaaagggg, I’m freaking out. Ohhh, the food network has some new posts. Mmmm squid. Ok, I will stop panicking. Pretty strange for madhat to end the old breakroom without starting a new one. Hope he is alright. ofcmarc: The coffee you made tastes a little strange and has hair in it. Seems like things are back to normal. Had some out of town visitors earlier. Going to follow the little green footsteps that glow in the night to see if they get home all right. Hmm, must be tired, that almost made sense.

 

Thanks Marc, can't sleep so I might as well be here. Good time for a surprise inspection.

Well thank God you tried! Your doctor probably hasn't slept in days since he told you not to go back to work. Poor guy has been worried sick he was wrong.

Sounds right.

 

Almost....

 

I figured that starter batches work well for sourdough why not the coffee.......


The little green men from Nome came down your way eh?

 

I say we need a little more 'ceremony' when closing the thread each week. Especially after such an in-depth and entertaining one as last weeks!

That's kinda redundant. Wouldn't ALL of your visitors be from out of town?

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Were Mary and Joseph's surname Christ before Jesus was born?


The cffee is still here that Marc made... there's something stringy in it.

 

Morning, trying to figure out if the coffee was filtered through horse hair or the mop bucket this morning...

 

I think it was Heidi's new cat's hair. It has that stringy, mangy greasy texture to it if you get one in your mouth.

 

I hope I don't need shots now.... it's the little, "curly" hairs that I REALLY worry about.

 

Brought Kailey in today. The folks' have their trailer (RV, not mobile home) over at the North Muskegon State Park this week. My sister and brothers should be there today. Gotta slide over there when I get out of work, then off the next couple of days.

 

Were these your visitors?

 

lucky I have my instant hazelnut coffee this morning, and a fresh baked cinnamon roll. going to the fair today, it is pouring rain right now.

my orange kitty has been at her post on the porch at night, no hunting. Siberian dog taught her well. we had footprints and a knock at the cat door last night after supper. .22 rifle at both ends of the house.

fighting wicked infection, hospital did nothing for that. guess they figured I could handle it.an IV of hydrogen peroxide would be nice about now.

hence, off to the fair (oldest? one in America but have to check)

ok fellas- bacon, fried potatoes with peppers and onions, sausage, pancakes with home made maple syrup, french toast for chaikwa, rabid coffee for those who need it. Giving CIN the day off to rest....
