And there is @berkeleybob right behind your high price in Denmark  Our comparatively inexpensive price that is still double Brazil price is a contributing factor to not buying it unless there are no other good options, we are fortunate to have a Tim Horton's coffee shop on just about every other corner in Western NY.  Home brew is my preference and carry it in travel mug and thermos to take it when I go.

A quick bit research shows that I’m paying roughly the same amount per pound for whole beans, when comparing to Peet’s—man, prices really have risen in the US, haven’t they?

Just to give you an idea of a roadtrip that started this morning … 

The storm finally broke. Hope you folks are faring well in your neck of the woods.

Another cold morning. Ivan had a garbage sleep with more teeth coming in so I slept kin a bit. 

In for a long day so coffee made, mgs forum work for a hour or so and then into real work!

Good morning everyone! I hope your week gets off to a good start. I'm sitting in my car listening to Golf podcasts and scrolling the forum getting prepared to walk in to work. The coffee is tasty and the weather is decent early before getting rainy later today.

Good morning on a frosty Monday in WNY  coffee keeping it real while getting everything up for crunch day in payroll land.  

Sun and above freezing yesterday melted off all the ice not hiding from the sun and corgis again rule their backyard size kingdom.  Clear skies ahead of weather moving in this afternoon.  Precipitation forecasted to make it a wet week with first inches of rain between now and inches of snow end of the week.  Cheers Mother Nature

Top of the morning, Spies!

Just curious....did anyone else notice in the Honda Open that Chris Kirk was playing TM Stealth woods with Callaway Paradym headcovers?

Good morning all. I was ready to go out for a 8:58 tee time when I got a message that there's a 1 hour fog delay.  Hope the range is open!  Or maybe a 2nd cup of coffee instead?

He wouldn’t be the only player that has clubs that don’t match the headcovers.    He is a Callaway sponsored player so it makes sense.

This morning FOG was thick.  Starter told us we could play at our own discretion/peril.  This is a 1st time ever hearing that.

What a thread, I’m through the first 2 pages. It’s going to take me a week to get through all 14/15 pages. 
 

my alarm is set for 4:30am. That used to be sleeping in for me, job change helped that. 
I’ve been meaning to wake up earlier and get to the gym, but the last 10/15 years has been a struggle for that. I have been taking 15-20 min to do some hyperbolic stretching and a few yoga moves to help with the back. 
 

I'm a coffee guy and it just depends on what went on the previous day or upcoming if I have 2 cups or 8. Pic of my cup attached. 

 

Work day starts at 6am and done at 2:30. I manage 3 warehouses that are 40 minutes apart from each other. I get windshield time in between them plus any other deliveries I need to do. 
 

I try to stop at the local range for some swing work when my back lets me. 
 

My side gig is I officiate HS football, lacrosse and baseball. Lacrosse is taking a back seat as it’s is pretty tough on a body that was abused in its youth through the 40’s. 
love the stories and everybody’s different life styles.

I can’t remember where, I played a course that had a large bell installed next to the green for just such a reason.

Sooner or later, there’ll be a location app for any given course that everyone carries.

Yup, I’ve seen the Bell system at a couple courses up north.  All they asked us to do this morning was keep cart lights on until Fig lifted, never did lift!

It's Monday the day of greatest opportunity...and the day that morning lasts until night!  Hope it is a good start to the week, fellas!

And so it begins at the antidawn, 2 inches/5 cm in the past 2 hours.  Next update at coffee time in 12 hours at dawn.  Corgi tracks in the foreground where there was only greenish grass at lunchtime.

Guess I can't complain about our tee times being pushed back because of fog.

Last summer I had some days like that on my dew sweeper rounds. LOL I keep 6 or 8 various yellow balls of different brands I have found in the car just for that reason

Early start to a long day. Dogs fed and thankfully no snow removal even tho there is snow of ground we have a covered garage.

It's veterans tournament which is fun, but it's a tight schedule and normally a miracle if they run on time. 

Thankfully a good amount of downtime when the games start which may allow for some catch up on the last of us.

[Rickp]

Getting ready for a 7:00 Tuesday Exec.  Small group today 8 guys.  A few are going to Orioles Baseball game.

[EasyPutter]

Good morning on a wet Tuesday at sunrise, few inches of snow last night slowly melting being helped by rain, the combination keeping Corgi feet from being muddy coming back into the house.  Sump pumping frequently near my basement work station with drains sounding like waterfalls until the level rises. 

Good kind of day for indoor putting practice once the day of work is finished, made better with hot coffee of rich flavor
