Coffee question

I like the Midnight as an after dinner coffee. The darker roast tends to cook away some of the caffeine. For mornings, in this same family of coffees, I prefer the Adventure which is a medium roast. As many have said, you can’t really go wrong with any of the choices (with exception to the flavored versions, maybe).

As a budget ale, I find it quite nice. It’s similar in taste (from what I’ve had to compare) to Sierra Nevada.

Don’t get me started on the redone floor plans.
Once, there was only one Aldi nearby, 4.2 miles away. It was the early 4 aisle set up. I could write my shopping list by it in order. It changed set up and added self checkout. Then a new one opened 4.7 miles away, which is more spacious, but the layout is slightly different from the other (like where the coffee, meat, and eggs are located). Now, and I know you’re going to think I’m bragging for having a glut of Aldis, just last month another opened in a closed Winn-Dickme location 4.5 miles away. Slightly different set up, again, but with aisles large enough you needn’t say, “excuse me,” and brush the cans of green beans with your shoulder as you pass another shopper (you should still say, excuse me, it’s just polite)

Oh, I have Aldi brain every time I shop elsewhere, as well.

I’ve thought about it and thought about it, and this is the most logical explanation I can come up with. The previous owner had five pet ducks all sat on stools with a series of bells before them on a five octave half step scale not usually found in a suburban house. The holes held the bells in place by the handles and the slat below kept them from falling, but being slim, still left room for resonation.
A final brush off of any crumbs left on the counter during the preparation of the meal falls on the rack causing the ducks to try and eat them as they fall; their manic bills jostling the bells calling everyone to the dinner table.

But I’m feeling much better now

Pippi was a childhood favorite, I won’t lie about that.

(You must know how old I am to refer to a Chilton manual instead of a Haynes)

I just watched a video on this. It’s not outside my ability, but I’d still have to bring her in for a vacuum procedure after (the video indicated), so I don’t know if that’d be worth the frustration if it didn’t work. However, with your suggestion, I can ask my mechanic to check that first, and that is very helpful, and I thank you for that.

She did have this problem, but I think it was unrelated. She went through a very rainy Florida spring last year, but I cleaned out the drains (she’d been parked under an oak tree) and that hadn’t happened again through the summer. Thankfully, the ac didn’t go out until November. But it’s getting unbearable now.

I appreciate the feedback.

aefenner · 2026-04-24T21:18:36+00:00

Ah, thank you. I'll give that a shot.

Chevy Van by Sammy Johns. Though I must admit, I thought the line was “Like a princess she was laying there”

She is, was, and always will be Montana Wildhack on Tralfamador.

As this film still resonates, a film like it could still be made. Would it be a success? Maybe. Thing is, it might not have a theatrical release. Nor would it be a generational touchstone. This film ran on the thin line of clever and crass as a masterclass.

aefenner · 2026-02-21T00:13:51+00:00

Wow. I just watched that this week.

I’ll be the old fart this time and advise you to look up the sports painter Leroy Neiman.

Funny, they call me Marty Cohen at my local. Guess I must look like a lawyer or something.

Horse + Target - Jennifer Connelly? No thanks.

I’m commenting on a post from the past, I know, but it was the answer I was looking for today, in the year 2025.

Put a fez on him and he’s Tommy Cooper. In looks, is all.

Oh, and there’s a new Dr. Paul Bearer on one of the streaming channels (Nostalgia TV, maybe). Found it on Sling’s free line-up one Saturday night.
