What's your coffee today? What brew method? Photos

Good morning, coffee crew.

Peet's Big Bang. Black.

It's 51° in SCS right now with a high around 65°. Another cloudy day here. It looks like more rain is moving in this evening. I got about 7 hours of sleep last night. A strange dream woke me up around 2 AM but I managed to go back to sleep. Just a few online things to take care of today but that's about it.

Have a blessed Thursday, friends.

Back to work.

Afternoon pick me up shot. Some kind of Starbucks “light roast” that the coffee density site describes as “dark/Vienna roast” lol. It was on sale at the grocery store and not too bad.

Good morning, coffee crew.

Peet's Big Bang. Black. One Monk Fruit in the Raw packet.

It's another cloudy, dark morning here. Currently 52° with a high around 60°. Rain expected this morning, but "they" say the sun is coming out later. I got about 6 hours of sleep last night. I woke up a few times though. I caught up with several friends from Nashville (phone calls and texts) and that was quite nice. I miss them dearly. A few emails to send out today and then I'm putting all work on hold until I get back to Nashville. Consider it a "moving vacation" ha. A trip to the local market and lunch at the Butter Run Saloon later.

Have a blessed Friday, my friends.

Finishing off the last of this round of Don Pablo Signature in the French Press. Moving on to a couple bags of Starbucks I got on sale at the grocery store until I stock up on something better again.

75° with a high of 94°
But at least yours is a dry heat!!
Lol
Hahahhaa

Hot is hot
Almost time to be able to get in our pool.
We are having a covering built over 1/2 the pool because it’s too hot to swim during the afternoons here.
Last summer on one morning I got in the pool at 4am to swim laps and the water was 94°.

Don Pablo’s Signature blend again this morning. French press into the Yeti.

I’m waiting for an order to be completed, then back on the road.

It’s not very often you see Gainesville weather described as “dry heat”

Yes, that was a first for me.

I finished my Dunkin today so it’s off to the small local place to get something.

Rain has put my outside projects on hold. I don’t mind taking a day away from them. I used to go from daylight until dark to complete something, now I can take some time.

The humidity at the moment is 66%. That’s low for here. In a week or so, it will be 100% in the morning and if we get a nice breeze, it will drop down into the 50% range.

I tracked the summer humidity in Pennsylvania vs Gainesville before we moved down here in 2004. Pennsylvania was worse in July and August. We usually had 95/95 days there with the humidity touching the ground. You couldn’t even see the huge signs on the interstates until you were right on top of them.

Right now, my phone is telling me the humidity in St. Clair Shores, MI is 81%.

Well it’s just cuz their current humidity is 67% and ours is 76%!!
Lol
I thought it was hilarious.

Brutal

I hate it here when it’s 90% or higher humidity and the temperature is 90° or higher.
It takes everything out of you.

Oh I know. I thought it was hilarious too. Right now I’m jealous of all of you as I sit here in the temperate rainforest of the East TN Appalachians.

A few years ago we helped our son move to Florida in August. We started at 7:30 am and by 7:35 I was completely soaked with sweat. I have worked in factories where it is a 100 plus around the machinery, but I have never have been as hot as that day. When we took a break, I sat on the curb and when I got up my daughter-in-law noticed I left a wet spot with my butt. My wife told her that’s kind of normal for him, but look he’s sweating through his boots. She was right, my boots were wet, it looked like I had stepped in a puddle. It was 106 and 95% humidity. We got done in a couple hours and everyone survived.

On our way home we were in Orlando and our flight was delayed. I was sitting by a window and a concrete crew was getting ready to do a project by the terminal. I don’t know enough about pump trucks but I could tell it was getting serious. After multiple attempts they did it the old way, wheelbarrow and muscle. This young guy was the main one wheeling the concrete in and older guys were finishing. He changed shirts three times. To his credit they got it done and saved the load. It’s a different breed that works in the heat in the south.

When my wife and I worked midnights in the summers we would get home with sweat rings to our knees. And that because we were just outside all night and not actually doing physical labor.
