They must be each others spirit animals.  With either one of them, I can get one or two pets in and it is followed by a swat.😂

Ahh..sorry...did not know that.  We have a coffee grinder I use every morning, and another one in the "land yacht" (AKA motorhome).   

 

I also love the 100% Kona coffee from Kona Hawaii...have ordered those before.  Bit more expensive, and actually like the coffee they roast in Anchorage better.  🙂 

I'm now going to order Mike some of the coffee from Anchorage. He likes dark. Do you have any recommendations?

Before I head off to the surgeon, just wanted to let you all know our friends are doing better.  They removed the brain tumor and are deciding what treatments to give her.  His COVID is doing better!!

They should both be home for Christmas, fingers crossed.

So happy to hear about your friends.

Did not get that up close and personal to designate the type, I just know Bucky calls it a "utility" helicopter and is indeed a Huey or hybrid of some sort.    Cape Canaveral has at least one that we know of, and we have a military air museum within 5 miles of us.  Very interesting air craft come and go from there.  

 

With Bucky having Spent two tours in the swamps "boots to the ground" in Vietnam...he freaks now when he hears that heavy rotor sound.  

 

Think "Forest Gump"...but worse.  

So sorry to hear how this still affects him and many others. It was a terrible, terrible war and homecoming. So glad he has you there for him.

@ReneeFLL Have you looked at Peets Coffee? It is a local roaster here, with coffee shops and everything, but very popular. And they have gift sets. Link: https://www.peets.com/gifts/gift-sets

Good grief. That fur child needs to stay home. Not safe at night. You can send her to me for staying at night. Happy to help.

The Alpenglow has a lighter flavor, almost with a chocolate note.  If you want some dark "kick butt, keep you awake"...try the Fisherman's blend.  🙂 

 

They have a special right now called "Holiday Hoarding".  😉  Has some of my favorites in a multi pack, including those two favorites and a special holiday blend (they always have monthly feature coffees).   Five bags for 60 bucks...no tax, no shipping costs.  I ordered that, should get by in couple of days.  Really good deal!.  I usually pay 17-18 a bag.

Thanks...we also have Peets in stock all the time at local grocery, and find it when we travel out west as well.  Still like the coffee from Anchorage I get shipped to me over Peets.

I had it set on alert on my phone, and still fell asleep reading.  Drats....missed it.  And really want to see it being the big Delta launching at night.   Did not even wake me up with the rumble!!  Too much wine at dinner I guess.  🥴

It’s my head office Christmas lunch today. To hold with tradition it is a causal attire day, so this is my festive shirt of choice.

I'm looking at their website now.  Fisherman's blend sounds like exactly what I need.   I think I will try the multi pack as i like dark kick your butt but Eric likes lighter blends and can do his espresso when he needs a kick in the butt
