This exactly, except Ibuse a DeWalt. I have found that the brand power tool used has little effect on the taste and extraction, however.

I live pretty close to your area and just bought my first bag of whole bean coffee this week (previously just got pre-ground packages from the grocery). Most of the coffee shops in my area (eTown) use Senergos as their roaster, so that’s what we got to start. Excited to try some other stuff regionally.

Staining red oak for a slat wall around our fireplace. Hope to get it installed this week.

We live in a pretty rural area and take a lot of trips on it. We’ve even camped in the back with the seats down. It’s also the first SUV we’ve owned and just love the versatility of it. But that part is true of any SUV.

I absolutely love our 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited. Have a roof rack on it and it’s fantastic at what it does. Just got back from a trip to town with two little ones and a load of lumber on the roof. It’s understated styling is just so pleasing to look at and it’s really comfortable inside with an amazing sound system. Just all around a very enjoyable (albeit boring) car to own.

No liner. Figured it’s designed for holding water for cattle all year round so it should hold up fine for the few summer months we use it. Second season for it and only a few small rust spots where we had some magnets holding hoses.

Central ky here. But sure what my favorite quirk is, though.

Toyota Land Cruiser

Agreed. And believe me you, they’ll find a way to screw us all over if we give them half a chance.

Yep. Not much, but with the pump/filter and a little chlorine you can keep the water clear all summer.

We got a 10 ft pool and we didn’t bury it at all. It’s kind of the perfect depth for both kids and adults because as an adult you can sit in it on the bottom with your arms over the side like a hot tub. For little kids, they can reach the bottom so they feel a lot more comfortable. We just got a little Intex pool pump for it and it works fantastic! Once we get it moved into the privacy fence area we’re going to build a little half deck/bench around one corner of it.

Look into stock tank pools. We really love ours!

Bought a bunch of outdoor furniture and we’re putting up a tall privacy fence so we can have a little nudist oasis in our yard. Going to also move the stock tank pool close to the patio for some skinny dipping. Going to be a good summer. Will probably have some fellow nudists over for a BBQ once it’s done.

That comment sounds a little bigoted.

So, dumb question but what is exploding-heads? Are they actual Nazis or like far-right wackos and MAGA nuts?

Yesterday I swung by someone’s house for something and she was out in the treehouse reading or writing something. No social media. Didn’t see a phone. Just enjoying the moment. Best quote from Secret Life of Walter Mitty, “Beautiful things don’t ask for attention”. The moment when the world famous photographer sees the elusive snow leopard he’s been chasing and rather than take the photo he just sits there and breathes in that moment. Not even doing what he came to do just so he gets to fully experience it. That’s slow living. It’s inherently anti-social media
