What if it Snows?

That sucker looks like it needs flashing lights and a banner for LONG LOAD. What a beast.

 

Well... I broke down and bought a Keurig. From when I hit the start button it takes about 2 minutes and 7 seconds to make an incredibly average cup of coffee. I also bought the k-cup reusable filter so I grind my own. Meh. It ruined really good beans.

Here’s the math. The unit was $74.88 with tax and 2 year added warranty. So $0.75 per cup.

The k-pods were $7.89 for 16. So $0.50 each. (I bought some just for convenience)

Half and Half is about $0.12 per ounce.

Based on a 100 cups I figure the unit is $.75 + $0.50 + $0.12 for a total of $1.37 per cup right now. Obviously the cost will go down after 100 cups.

2 minutes 7 seconds. I’ll just use the pods. I’ll use my French press and my beans when I want a good cup of coffee.

Id say winter is officially here .

 

PhotoShopped!!!

Winter


2 hours, load still not ready.

me on Phone.
“Hey, this load still not ready, what’s this sitting time pay?”

“Hang on, I’ll call them back.”

me “Better hurry or I’ll say $100/hour.”

20 more minutes I haven’t heard a thing.
I should’ve stayed home..

In other news.. Frank was trying to get freaky with Jolene, who had got into the truck while I was getting out looking for someone.

I think Frank had a heart attack.
I told him not to over do it, he’d throw his back out, he wasn’t a young fly anymore.
Ah, these middle aged flies don’t listen anymore.
Now Jolene is off to raise a young Fredrick all on her own.

I should write a book.. I come up with the darnedest things.

 

So, if you have two cups a day for 5 years. That will be 365x2=730 cups per year then
730 x 5 = 3,650 totals cups in 5 years. Then in 5 years you drink 3,650 x 1.37 = $5,000.50 this is a lot of money for coffee.

 

Two things.

1. Shut up about my addiction. LOL
2. They say 3-4 cups a day helps prevent colon cancer. So it’s cheap insurance.

 

You forgot to figure in the ware and Tare on the truck to power the coffee maker ....

 

Tractor looks longer than the trailer.

 

I rounded all the numbers up for each product used in making the cup to offset the cost of wear and tear. I also left out other consumables such as water, clean up products, and my time since I was only mentally comparing the basic cost of the k-cup vs. the swill that is always present at a TS.

 

Almost bought this truck... but I don’t think I can get in the bunk crawl through anymore.. or if I did I’d never get out..
350 cummins with 15 speed... I could fix it up but I think that crawl through would have to go, which would take away from it..
