Trials of a woodpusher: Adventures in chess, backyard gardening, and maybe whisker chopping

Tim Horton's

I was enjoying some home-brewed Tim Horton coffee a couple of weeks ago. Good stuff, but it left me wanting a doughnut.

If you REALLY want Tim Horton's coffee, go get a McCafe. Years ago (when Timmies was good), they changed their bean supplier as a cost-cutting measure soon after they were taken over by RBI in 2014. McD's quickly swooped in and signed up all the suppliers that Timmies left stranded. Tim's coffees have not been the same since.

McCafes are good…pretty much Starbucks on the cheap. I just dread thinking about how much sugar they pump into some of those

Thanks for the background, Sam. Cost-cutting sometime backfires!

Feb.05 ASD2/Astra SP(4) ............ Paladin Sumo ........... Cella ....................................... Stetson milk

A few minor strawberries with this morning's shave, so the Astra blade got turfed afterwards. No major damage, so I guess all is well. It's nice to have temps back up to the freezing mark and, truth be told, it now feels warm outside. Of course, everything is relative and my sister-in-law from Orlando doesn't quite agree with my description of the outdoor temperature.

It sounds like it was one day late.

 

[woodpusher]

I concur, Bruce.

 

[GearNoir]

Booooo strawberries!

Feb.06 ASD2/Wilkinson(1) ........... Paladin Sumo ........... Cella ....................................... Stetson milk

A nice and early shave this morning with a fresh Wilkie blade makes for a great start to the work week.

 

[Scuttlesoap]

Ya had to rub it in didn’t you?

From 1976 - 1982 I traveled the world, fighting Communist Aggression, keeping America safe. We have done our share, and now it's your turn.

And I am truly appreciative! And maybe a tad jealous

Have a good Monday first Saturday of the week!

Feb.07 ASD2/Wilkinson(2) ........... Paladin Sumo ........... Cella ....................................... Stetson milk

Up early to run out for gas at Costco @6:30am before any line-ups hit. It's pretty much my normal rise'n'shine time except that I have to go outdoors, so.... meh. Shave was, as expected, another non-descript success.

 

[Scuttlesoap]

You have brought meh-ness to a whole new level of zen!

Is there anybody there that early other than you?

What are your gas prices sitting at now?
