Just checkin' in, makin' sure everyone has their coffee. I think I can detect a hint of that awful foo-foo stuff, but I'll reserve any further comment due to lack of evidence.
Gotta hand dig and replace and old watering 'hydrant' in the horse barn today... THAT oughta be fun. All we have here is pure blue clay. The back-hoe has a hard time getting thru it, I can't imagine what hand digging it to a 5' depth is gonna be like.
I'll make sure the pot stays full for y'all!

Coffee pot's been purged, fresh pot on. All I can do is think about finishing the stove up tomorrow. Should have some pex comeing off e-bay. Still need to find a circulating pump and blower for the fire box. Already started the trench for the water line.
Scott, Kaley keeps telling me we need to slide down that way, just got to get a few bugs worked out on the winter beater I picked up.

Well, it took me 7 hours but I got the hydrant replaced. I hate clay.
Now I found 2 more that either need replacing or removal. Joy.
Yeah Redleg, c'mon down! Coffee's always on! When're ya gonna post some pics of that boiler you're workin' on? The guys over at the fab shop where I get my steel are making one too. That guy is going to use regular plastic water line inside 4" perforated sewer and drain pipe. He's going to fill the 4" with spray foam insulation after the water pipe is run thru it. Seems like it might work.
Ok, new coffee is made if anyone wants some.

BRRRRrrrrrrrrrr it's coooold this morning.
Grid Heaters got a work out.
Time to find the Block Heater extension cord and timer.
Fresh baked biscuits smothered in fresh snausage gravy this morning.
Wifey only made a dozen biscuits, she ate two......there were no survivors.
Belly's full, thermos of coffee is almost half gone, time to get my keester in gear.
Y'all stay safe,

Wow, coffee's almost gone awready! Someone musta filled a thermos or somethin'.
Cold here too, and there's some snow on the ground. It's too early in the season for this crap! Definitely a 3 pot coffee day.
There's a new pot brewin' and it should be ready in a few minutes. Everyone have a great day!

A fine good mornin' to ya'll. Sorry I missed you Scott - - missed by two minutes - - the pot is just finishing up - - smells pretty good considering it is not Almond Creme. Oh well, I will just have to endure "normal" coffee.
Gorgeous day again - - due for high 70's, house all open and enjoying the breezes and birdies singing. Better go check and make sure my flamingoes are still in the yard. Have a great one.

Just walked into work and made my first pass through the building. I found an entire sheet cake in the breakroom.
Anybody want some to go with that last cup of coffee?
I doubt whoever left it will mind too much......
