According to the weather, this nice run of 70 degree temps will hold at least until Saturday afternoon, so I should be able to make the revived Cars & Coffee tomorrow morning.
Alas, all is not well in Pumpkin’s domain.
As it will do here, we went from nights below freezing and days in the 50s to days in the 70s, and I have not been on top of the pool. I am going to try to get out of the office early today so I can work on it. I am a bad pool boy and should be fired. I have tried to make my 17 year old do it to earn T Bird restoration money, but he hasn’t bitten. I am taking it to a local restoration shop for a breakdown of full restoration costs so he will be motivated to earn some money.
Does Oppo Nespresso? A guy I have a bunch of business to sent me this for Xmas, and it is a totally impractical, expensive device. But the coffee is really good. From time to time, we order a couple of boxes of the capsules as a treat, but they cost too much to do it all the time. They are also horrible aluminum solid waste.
They say if you live in a fancy enough town, they have places.you can drop them off to be recycled. I live in Fresno, which is not a fancy town at all.
Yes, in Con Air, Dave Chappelle’s body landed on a car in downtown Fresno. This scene was filmed on location. Thank you, Hollywood.
Have a good Friday, Oppo. Enjoy your cars.

My pool looks pretty much the same right now. It’s warm enough for it to turn gross but too cool to actually use the pool so my motivation to clean it up has been zero.

Received a Nespresso for Christmas. Agreed, it makes a nice espresso or cappuccino. Agreed it is expensive and completely impractical. We went through our 20 sample pucks and haven’t bought more. It sits on my Im countertop as a monument to gross consumerism.
Honestly, I would buy more of the pods if I could get them locally from various retailers. But I can’t. So it sits.

Oh, I’m sure it will be motivating. Just make sure it’s not soul-crushing!
Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing.

I found a Keurig machine, new in the box in the box, in a cart in the parking lot of the Goodwill Outlet and a surplus store. Although there is the convenience factor in such a device, I just feel that these single-use machines are somewhat wasteful and not terribly cost-effective and thus I haven’t even opened it. Not helping matters is that I’m not really a coffee drinker, and prefer buying large bags of loose tea at the local international grocer. Now if I had found one of those $200+ Breville tea makers it would be a different story...

I saw the thumbnail and thought “I don’t think I’ve seen this episode of Stargate...”
Yes, apparently General Hammond (Don S Davis) was an extra on Con Air. Driving a Volvo.
Awesome.

see if you lived in canada you would not have to clean your pool in the winter.
you don’t even have to clean it much in the summer, since our summers are shorter than yours

My wife got me a Nespresso compatible cappuccino machine for Christmas. The capsules are pricey, but not as much as the vertulino line you have there in your picture. In fact, someone put their Nespresso machine in the break room here at work and put a bunch of capsules in a bin with a note to “help yourself”. That’s very generous.

Amazon Prime to the rescue for me. It makes replacements easy. Yes, it is expensive, but it’s cheap compared to the couple of times a year I would treat myself to a cappuccino at a coffee shop. The key for me is that the machine my wife got me does a nice milk froth, which makes it the treat just regular coffee isn’t.

this is why i prefer our keurig because we have the adapter that lets us use our own coffee vs their pods

Nespresso will recycle the aluminum. In fact, they’ll even send you a bag for free so you can mail ‘em in: https://www.nespresso.com/mobile/us/en/products/Accessory/Recycling-Bag/p/recycling-bag
