' The Best Part of Waking Up '

.....Folgers in your cup ? The ad line

Mon , past ? was international coffee day , in that vein - coffee tidbits
The int'l coffee consortium wants you to know
a) coffee is a pick me up and unfortunately a drop me down as well

b) coffee will boost your metabolism , up to 10 %. Anyone who has O - D d on coffee will know the jitters from the stimulation. Many energy drinks are caffeine sources including diet supplements

c) moderate coffee consumption is capable of lowering Alzheimer       risk

d) coffee can reduce the risk of depression  I can tell them , not in       my case

On the buds , a coffee entrepreneur was discussing his love of  coffee. He mentioned types of beans and their origin. He next tells the host that he might go days w/ out coffee.
He said it all starts w/ the water. If the water isn't pure or clean , w/out chlorine or fluoride e.g. he doesn't drink coffee at that place.
I know people who pay $ 14 / lb for their coffee and grind at home
... then use T.O. tap water.
As well , the grinder needs to produce fine even particles. Spinning blade grinders do a poor job.

Here , its Folgers and tap water and you take your chances. Friends left Starbucks coffee at the QMH in the fridge. Its still there , we trot it out every now and then , to experiment. mostly , b/c thats how I feel after drinking it - an experiment

Weather : not bad , little damp , little warm , little sun

Yesterday , the workers came and buried the run off pipes. When we bought the place the run off from the roof went down into the  ground at the house. Someone had repaired the ground pipe but we decided to re  -route the water across the pavers. When we re - did the front w/ interlock , the company buried the run off pipe. 
Unfortunately , they used a perforated drain pipe and the overflow was digging out the interlock.
I re -routed this spring but over top of the interlock and it looked ugly - functional but ugly. I dug a dry well at the edge of the interlock in case the pipe was freezing and causing the overflow.
But the perforated pipe was still under the interlock.
The workers lifted the interlock and re - buried a solid pipe up to the dry well. Now ,the perforated drain pipe runs away from the dry well only.
The other side of the garage had a similar problem but no place to bury the run off pipe. Solution , shoot the water out over the boulevard , as in a waterfall. The neighbour thought the water was bouncing off his wall in a wind. I ran a run off pipe over the interlock.
The workers buried the pipe by digging up the boulevard. Done in one.

So , how was your day ???
