Without coffee, my face says what my mouth shouldn’t...
So I'm strategic caffeinating until social functionality is achieved... :coffee:

G'Day...

17°/30°C, damp, muggy, hazy... 🥵
of course has the medial "heat warning" been turned up a notch or two...
we're urged to pay more climate tax... 😒

home and office caffeinated... ☕

zis time ze GF is in her car, a doc's appointment plus she has to serve as 'garbage truck' as daughter #2 needs to get rid of stuff...
me on the (also trusty) '94 ST, those braided brake lines by HEL work flawless, whilst not offering "the great enlightenment" either...
probably because I always bleed my brakes very thoroughly, thus a firm pressure point is standard... always...

yesterdays 'beverage run' mutated into an expedition... I'd to stop at three stores of that supermarket chain...
the first had only two six-packs...
the second none...
at the third I was at least able to loot four packs (limited to household quantities!), so a total of six 6x1ltr packs...
thankfully all locations are either on or near my commute...
but I saved € 27,-... gives an idea how expensive that darn Coke has gotten over here... :unsure:

well, off to another round of "is it worth getting fired today?"... 😁

Hi Martin, ... and those to come later.
I'm up at an insane hour, merely because our client workload has continued to ramp up. The more we do, the more there is to be done, kinda thing.
So I can get some things done before I get to the office. At least I could, if I get off this darn phone.
First cup of coffee... Done!
That means it will be a great day! Or at the least, it will be a much better day than would be otherwise.
But I still have to deal with rain today, and likely thunderstorms tomorrow, thanks to What's- His- Name, the first tropical storm of the season.
But no time to worry about that, because... it's time for a refill.
We can hang on till the weekend.
It's getting closer.
 
Morning all, and thanks Martin for the startup.

Just remember you're there for the income, not the outcome. ;) Likely the same motto of the others who regularly f*Wk things up.

12C and heavy fog, headed to a cloudy 18C later on.

Speaking of fog, anyone seen Stu about? Looks like 11 days. Might be lost at sea and none of us bothered to send out a search party etc.

Hope everyone's well, has a great day and as Bob might say "If Coke's too expensive, you can always switch to Pepsi."

Obo.
 
Welcome all, to the international coffee thread! Thanks for getting us started Martin. Although today's weather here involves an overcast sky, not a problem. Today, my better half and I are going on a little road trip aboard our brand spankin' new Odyssey. Just got it yesterday from my local dealer, even got a cheque from them, since I traded in two vehicles with a greater combined value than the Honda. And, it meant I paid no sales tax! Yesterday, my chore was to cut grass - at all three houses, kinda' tiring. But now, there's coffee, ah some!

the first car with a vacuum cleaner aboard, standard, right out the factory... :unsure:

Good morning everyone

Thanks for the start, Martin. If coke is too expensive, switch to weed...

It's 73°F and cloudy in Rockville, with light intermittent rain showers underway ahead of probable thunderstorms through the morning and perhaps again in the midafternoon. The high temperature may reach 88 but it'll feel like 93.

Also you'll pay les vehicle registration tax / fee, I expect, since you're net one fewer vehicles in the fleet.

Thursday = uke day. I'll spend much of the morning practicing, and two hours plus travel time this afternoon at the usual group session.

Stay safe and well everyone and tell your dear ones you love them. Do it today, NOW, for tomorrow may be too late.
 
Good morning and thanks for the coffee, Martin.

61/73 are the numbers for today's fun, in a mostly rainy day.

We had a good time at the track, yesterday, although one rider got a trip to the hospital in Concord directly from the scene of his crash. Hopefully, he'll heal up quickly. A couple of sessions later , another rider tried to duplicate the first event, but only got a trip to the track IMC. They are competitive...

We'll be back on-track at 9:30, which meant that we could sleep late this morning.
If past history is a predictor, speeds will be down a bit, but we'll see more crashes in known problem areas.

Have a great day ,
Steve

Good morning and thank you for the morning start. 55 this morning in Spearfish South Dakota going to 69 later in the day and I will be in the area to see it unlike @Mellow who is a no show this year.

Enjoy your day and be safe out there.

You're killing me... yeah, work blocked off most of June... I'll be there next year...

Who got a new RT?
 
Morning Martin & All from sunny, Southern Utah!

Currently it is 74F, heading for 92F. Yesterday only made it to 98F. No breeze yet, later the winds will be out of the W @ 12 to 17mph.

You can now order your Order WeSTOC 30 Tee Shirts

We have a fire that's been burning for several days now. It's about 50 miles away, the Cedar City Airport Tankers refilling. So we've been watching the C130s fly over our house several times during the day.

The run to WallyWorld was a success, they actually had Rotella T5 15w-40, so I picked up two so I could change the oil in both bikes.

Once Chris wakes, we'll get some breakfast. And Pepsi(s) will be on the menu for later!

Anyone :bl13:, have a great day on the roads! :hat3:

Good Morning, thanks Martin. Slowly waking up, coffee number two might help. Sunny day here at Delta 60 F high of 77 F 6 mph winds from the west. Washed Lady yesterday, so might do a little ride today, body almost recovered from riding to and back from Daughters, was most excellent to see them. Today's agenda, insure the Mazda, and remember what else needs doing. Well time to wish y'all a great day G

@ibike2havefun That's right, one less vehicle (replacing Miata and Transit350 with Honda) so saving cost of license and insurance on one vehicle.
Btw, will you be bringing your uke to WoodSToc in August?

Hi

Sorry, but neither I nor my uke will be there. Good try on event evangelism, though. ;)
 
Morning all! Beautiful sunny blue sky day out there.14C now, 26C later.

Drove the car into work today as I brought the dogs. Gets them out of the house and they get spoiled rotten by everyone in the office. It's like their version of a spa day.

Catcher, nice purchase! We had an Odyssey for a while and it was a great vehicle. They're great for road trips and bring you homer again.

Hope everyone has a great day!

If only those danged kids would use the vacuum and clean up after themselves!

G'dafternoon from SoMD! It's been overcast all day today, 87F/31C, with threats of isolated storms later. The internal storms have been calmed by the caffeine waters, thank you Martin!

Can't say much around here. Doing some work, got the dog walked, and doing some futzing around in the garage with some of the free stuff I got from the friend's friend's late gearhead dad. Who know what tonight will bring, rain I hope. Maybe if it holds off I can mow the lawn, but I'm not going to cry if it doesn't happen.

Take care y'all!
