    Lol, I don’t have much confidence. This should have been done hours ago. I don’t have the right tools. Drill bits are too small. All 3 drills are broken. I’m down to pounding the bracket onto the spring. Finally got it started. Might get it, I don’t know. I just don’t want to be still working on it tomorrow. 55 and sunny.

    Was just kidding but holy sheep #### how do they expect people to be able to pay for a trip to the ER. I already sent a check to them (took an hour just to find a check to send) but with the cost of medical ins and co pay plus blah blah blah. I feel sorry for those that haven't saved and money for tainy days

    Truck stops or really any QSR that brews large quantities of coffee have a few basic problems.

    First; Coffee to water ratio. They tend to not use enough ground coffee to the amount of water. This over extraction make the coffee nasty. The “standard” cup of coffee is only 6 ounces. This goes back quite a while. A 10 cup coffee brewer is 64 ounces. That would take about 2.5 ounces of coffee by weight for a proper brew.

    Second; brewing temperatures. Most of the bulk brewers are set to 190/195 degrees. Coffee likes 205 degrees.

    "In the floor" ??????
    Makes one ponder if he has a floor, or if he is the alien among us floating around with no need for a floor! Ponder...there is a word...is it a thought process or a question just waiting to come out which would demand a question mark instead of any other punctuation or floor space to be "in".... however,being in is better than being out(ed), especially if a closet is involved. There are arguments to be held "in" this discussion. Whereas we all know he was hauling a lot of rock from Montana and yet some of us aren't sure if he wasn't working "in" Broke Back Mt......

    Yes dear....coming right away.....yes I put creamer in your cup, but you didn't say anything about putting coffee in it with the creamer.....so here's your cup of creamer........:rolleyes::eek::confused:

    HEY....NOW I'M ON THE FLOOR.......:mad::(;)

    It sucks alright. We’ve been hit every year for the last 4 yrs. This year was looking better, wife just found out she has 2 more kidney stones. So 5 for 5, making deductibles, co pays. meeting total out of pocket limits. All said about $35k I think almost have made our deductible this year, so it might not be too bad. Just like to get one year without a gigantic hospital bill.
