Supposed to get hot this week. Son starts football on Wednesday. I don't think I ever had practice until about mid August or so.

Is that "camp" or official practice? I remember we had "camp" the week or two before practice officially started.
 
Trying to cut back on the amount of coke zero I drink and replacing it with ice water. Bought a swell bottle and a tray to make ice cubes for it.
That was a tough switch for me to make...Coke Classic to water. But I went from having a coke within reach nearly 24/7 to having an orange pop a couple of times a week (on average...more in the summer, less in the winter). Helluva lot cheaper, too. :D
 
Sloth level at something bumping 8.5. Wasting time drinking coffee and browsing military airplanes for sale on Wxman's airplane sale site.

I will take a P-51 or T-6. Thanks!

You couldn't find anything older? You'll need a 1962 Chevy Impala to complete the set. ;)

Yeah. As much as I love the new stuff there are some gorgeous vintage planes (basically wright brothers on up until 1970).

I still want the caffeine, so I have been transitioning to iced lattes. I bought a pre-made starbucks skinny vanilla latte, it's okay. Down the road, hopefully I can figure out that one on my own and save the $$

It was the caffeine AND the acidic nature of the drink that I had to get away from, or risk a full-blown ulcer. Once my son wasn't deployed anymore and the stress level backed off, I probably could have started drinking it again, but by then I had broken the habit.

Brew a pot of coffee, let it cool to room temp, pour one part coffee and one part milk over ice. Add sugar or sweetner to taste. Do two parts milk to one part coffee is you want it more Starbucks-y.

I'm trying to increase my Coke Zero consumption. Thinking of installing it on my kitchen faucet and maybe even my shower.

Everyone talking about cutting pop, and here I am, pondering if I want to run down to the store for chips. Plain, sour cream & onion, wavy with AE dip....

Arrrgggh.
