If I was to see something with four eyes like that coming toward me in the dark, I would most likely just shoot myself and end it…

Well, the good news is that you’d never see him.

Now we’re cookin’

Don’t really need the binocs and can save some big money by going monocular, plus you can save your natural nightvision in the other eye. I’ve heard…

Now, if you REALLY want the good stuff…

Drive you crazy trying to dial in proper diopter and keeping them in focus! 97° FOV is awesome.

Worth it.

Percolators are in style again. If not, cowboy coffee in a pan works.

Finally getting around to dropping that mower deck, it stopped raining.

Hopefully I can remember all the tricks from the video I watch a week ago.

I hear blasting a nice Dewalt work light at someone wearing night vision does wonders.

I have the old 60’s or older chrome percolators . But I use the Bodum 12 cup vacuum pot .

This looks like the one we had in the mid sixties when I was about 5. It wasn’t chrome though, it was a dull, dented up aluminum I think. It had those lines on the side. I would stare at it till it was done.

"Bodum" is a very nice onomatopoiea .
That's what people say when they press on the pump too hard and hot coffee spritzes all over the kitchen wall and burns their hand:
"AWG!!! BODUM! (That also explains why it's a ghost town in Minnesota, I guess!)
Could be a character in "Lord of the Rings", either....
Onomatopoeia is a nice name for a girl.Wonder what her nickname would be.

Why is it sometimes it's near impossible to press down, and xplodes on the counter, and sometimes it goes down without any resistance?

I think it may be related to the fineness of the coffee grind: French press needs a coarse grind. I know when I use too fine a grind in a French press I encounter a lot of resistance.

The tradition of French Resistance was well established in WW II.

This one is definitely a candidate for Best Thread Ever.

 

[Westerly Wood]

Thinking of converting from coffee to tea.
I have tried this before. It usually fails. Cause I fall asleep after a few cups.

New Orleans style cold filtered coffee, HELL YES! With Chicory? HELL NO!!

Let's hope it is not Mato . . .

 

[LeFinPepere]

How come I can drink a very hot coffee , but not a hot cup of tea. I mean, the tea really burns , no the coffee. Is there a clever micro-molecular explanation to that phenomenon?

 

[LeFinPepere]

"Enema" would be in the top 5.
Which leads us to: " define "enematopoeia"
Well, please, don't!

Yes - there is - the tea is much hotter!

The local farmers market opens on Friday. Time to slay some sweet corn and watermelons!

How 'bout those Yankees?

 

[Opsimath]

I don't care for potato chips. Yes, I can eat just one, but my preference is zero. Unless there's dip, then pass the Ruffles please, and be quick about it!
