Well…crap, have been up since 4:24 and out of bed at 5 since there was no way I was getting back to sleep…so I turned the coffee maker on early but that is too slow so I got the french press out and made a couple of cups and I do agree with Tom…the French press coffee is much better than drip and I’m going to enjoy the lack of bitterness for two cups…big cups…using the big red double sized cup my daughter left me…woke up to a surprise in my e-mail that my new laptop has been shipped and it’s supposed to be here tomorrow…it said temporarily out of stock when I ordered it…so that means I only need to get this old thing to boot up two more times…have never had a new laptop so it’s going to be a little strange with it running Windows 11 and being relatively modern…I know it’s not a high performance machine but it will be better than this one where I always have to fool with it to get it to boot up…it’s pretty cold out here at 37 and it’s not going to warm up enough to ride outdoors until after noon so it will be a two indoor ride day just like yesterday…and then I’ll try to get out for one ride for only 29 miles today…not much to do today…have leftovers for one more day to go with the pasta salad I made yesterday…I do need to get some stain and urethane to refinish a small stool I use in the bathroom and then do the same for some dried out veneer on the front porch just to get it through the winter…and clean out there a bit…but I need to sand the stool today first to see what I’ve got under the old stain and finish…more later…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
