thanks for the heads up a while back about the grey haired, bespectacled British chap who is a coffee expert. I find him interesting and the 2 best things I've learned is measure precisely and nearly boil water and add it into the auto drip maker for better taste. I'm not into it enough to get an espresso machine and buy a dura ace grinder but getting the most out of what I have is a plus.

After last night’s insanity I decided to bag the DE portion and head for home in between rain events. Got maybe 3hrs. sleep last night. The rain was that loud. Would have had to pack up in a deluge in Oder to insure that I made my ferry. DE weather looks crappy today and tomorrow. No real point in going there.

The rain yesterday totaled somewhere around an inch here. I hear it was over 5 inches in Sacramento. Anyway today is clear and supposed to top out in the 60s. I'm not sure where the ride is going but I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah, man - legend has it that Tipper Gore heard her little girl listening to a song about Nikki diddling herself, got flustered and well, the rest is history.

Sounds like you got more than we did. It was wet all day, but never rained very hard. My daughter and I were in the Eureka area over the weekend. I'm glad we got out of there on Sunday.

Last grass cut of the year I hope. Battery 1 went 30 minutes and battery 2 was going strong after 23 minutes when I got done. I went into beast mode the last 5 minutes to make sure I could complete it. Sunny but cool today high of 63 I think. I wore too much and was sweating like a feather trucker* at the end. A beautiful fall day..

we almost moved to Lewes when they closed my New Bern base. Gosh that was so long ago. I can’t remember now why we never did.
