    I make a 10 cup pot of coffee and refrigerate what I don't drink that day - nuke it as I need it.

    About 2 months ago I bought a big mason jar that has a spigot and now I fill that puppy up with a couple/three of pots of coffee and can suck off of it all week. I still get 1-2 cups of coffee out of the Kurig at work every day ($0.25 each) but I don't buy coffee shop product. Every week or two I'll stop at Cumberland Farms (convenience store) and buy one $0.99 coffee (probably 12-14 oz) just so I have a cup and lid to reuse for a while. One of these days I'll just fill the cup with light cream (what I use instead of milk) and pay less than I pay for cream by the pint :whistle:

    Ya, I just don't get people who stop and get coffee every morning. I make a pot every morning for let's say a quarter and drink 2-3 cups compared to buying a 16 oz for $1.50. That's about a $300 a year savings.

    Backfilling the garage with 3/4" crushed stone this afternoon, need to get this ready for a new slab next week.

    Break time after a long day at work. Then out to finish unloading that lumber off the trailer. Next three days off from job. Wife, kids, and I will take some down time this Saturday and Sunday.

    Worked a 12 at the steel mill and then wrenched on my dump truck ('00 F450 with the 7.3). Been fighting a crank, but no start issue for a while now. Some times it fires right up, other times I'm SOL. Changed some sensors and my fuse box, no luck; borrowed a fancy diagnostics tool, ran the codes, did some google searching for what the cause could be, called a buddy with tons of spare parts and a bad injector drive module (IDM) was the culprit. Pretty relieved to figure it out. I have tree work to get done!

    I hope so too. I've sent a lot of money on this truck over the years, I'm thinking about upgrade here soon, but right now I just need this one to be reliable for the rest of the season doing tree work and firewood deliveries.

    You probably already know this, but the crank sensor can act like that on those 7.3s

    Ya, I have spare new ones in the glove box. I swapped it just in case, but if the tach moves when cranking, the sensor is working.

    I've cooked a lot of steaks and like to think I'm pretty good at it...but the 2 I cooked tonight were amazing. 4.5 lbs of cow in 2 steaks. Got enough left over for a sammie tomorrow.
