    Might move a little more wood today and see if I can level out some of the mess we made during the spring mud party we called a GTG.

    For sure but stay in the north away from the cities. Superior and northern Lake MI for me.

    Saw a news clip where it said that people who drink coffee live longer. The recommended amount was 3-4 cups a day. I only drink out of a mug so now idea how a mug compares to a cup. I think a mug is more but not all the same.

    If you want some coffee, you should have it. I am convinced I can't start my day without a cup. I use the K cups. it comes out right every time. WalMart has a coffee brewer that uses K cups or single amounts for a single cup. It is only $20 for the machine. You can find lots of bargains for K cups or use grounds.

    Either rural areas, or Harborside if there's a busy port. That's the one redeeming part of some big cities, is if they have a high traffic harbor.

    I'd like to visit Halifax, Nova Scotia for that reason. They get a lot of cargo ships and such from all over the world. From what I've seen and heard, a lot of NS is similar to our rural areas.

    But if you spread that cost out for as many weeks and as many pots of coffee that you get, it's still a good buy.

    99 ended up making a 2nd pot this morning. :yes:

    Not a bad spot. Exterior could use a cosmetic overhaul. This is one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city. You know you're in town, but It's kinda cozy looking nonetheless.

    Its a nice piece of property. Growing up we were friends with the family that lived there for years. Fished and swam in the pond with the kids our age and whatever else kids do in the country.

    Well, much to the chagrin of 99 lbs, I mixed up a smaller batch and sprayed a couple areas today. One was around the the fire pit and on the dock. Even though there was a stiff 15 mph wind the spray went down well. And I must say, not one mosquito showed up to bite me!

    OK, OK, it was all due to the wind!

    But I also sprayed on the deck faced the east. Every evening, this deck is completely in shade and a favorite hangout for those blood sucking pests.

    I was just out there for a minute while feeding the fox the other night and it was unbearable. I just came back inside form being out there and have to admit there was not one bug around. I walked over to the wood pile just to make sure that they were out this evening and yup, before I got to the pile, I started swatting.

    I'm going to walk down to the fire pit/dock now just to satisfy my own curiosity.

    Well, that wasn't a good idea. I followed the directions exactly.

    I sat out there in my underwear for less than 10 minutes and 99 is furious, three boats slowed way down and all I could hear was insane laughter coming from them. Fisherman are happy I guess. 99, not so much!
