The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

What, your Kurig in the shop? 😁
Out keurig is down for the count. We’ve been waiting for a new flux capacitor for it…. Damn supply chain issues.

Peet’s ā€œMajor Dickerson’s Blendā€ fresh out of the burr grinder. Eleven grams of coffee and 350ml of 160° water lovingly poured over to perfection as evidenced by the crema rising.
That truly sounds delish.

But I don’t think it’s my speed. I really enjoy the smell and flavor of percolated coffee.

Plus it reminds me of my parents a bit

Who was Major Dickerson??
 
Well, I turn 56 today. Age is a number, but the numbers feel like they're adding up.

On the plus side I'm one of those people who were such a crash and burn lunatic in my younger years that I never thought I'd see this age.
Just a baby boi!

I love the smell of coffee but can't drink it. Hate the taste of coffee anything. 🤢
 
Good for you! You need those extra days off! We need a picture when your shed is on site!
I hope it is what i imagine.... we will see... as an afterthought I would have done a couple things different. Picked a different door insert color....or something a little more girly but we will see... plants and a little paint to the doors will be an OK thing.
 
Who was Major Dickerson
He was Peet’s best customer, a retired Army Sergeant so Peet promoted him.

The original Peet’s is by the main entrance to the University of California (Go Cal).

Alfred Peet made major contributions to coffee in America, if you like coffee, you should know his name….

That’s quite a promotion. From E5 + to O4. Battlefield promotion? šŸ˜‚

I just learned me something about coffee!

I used to get mine from maxwells house.

You'll make it! You sound in reasonably good health wearas I'm diabetic and probably won't. I also am bipolar depressive (suicidal depression)

What color did you pick?

That's the beauty of paint. When you're tired of it, just paint over.

I hope you get there! When I was a kid, I wanted the years to pass quickly; I was in a hurry to grow up. Now, at my age, I want to hold onto the years but they pass much too fast.

Around the corner on Shattuck was where they dumped snow from the mountains for the kids to play in before Christmas in 2019. Lucia's was there with their little pizza oven truck and made the best GF pizza, ever.

Picked up coffee at Peets for the walk back to the BART.
