I've never had good experiences at scooters, but I've only been to the one by my old apt, so it may have been a location issue
I should have been more clear - I bought a bag of Scooters coffee for home. I have not been to any actual Scooters location for coffee in a cup.
 
Put a pork butt in a brine this morning and will let that sit in the fridge all day. Tomorrow morning I'll set up the Weber for a long cook and get it going.
Most of it I'll vacuum seal and freeze for pulled pork sandwiches over the winter time.
 
Noticed camp grounds seemed thinner when I drove by them. Wonder if it’s on the decline side of the roller coaster.
 
Scooters > Starbucks

Shopping around for a replacement of my old standby McGarvey's coffee in case I can't find it at another since mine no longer has it on the shelf. Bought a bag of Starbuckles (my term, sounds more like piratelike) Pike Place. Okay, but sort of muddy and too much nutty chocolatey side notes.

For coffee at home I get that spendy Folgers stuff. I get the Folgers dark if I am feeling adventurous.
 
It's officially Boxster Fall.

1. Lower sun angle. Early day light through the high ceiling window hit me right in the eye for the first time this season as I sat in laptop chair.

2. Switched HVAC mode from cool to heat and roasted some air to take the chill off upon waking this a.m.

Yesterday my son-in-law was sitting at an intersection, and some car drove past and threw white paint on his car. His window was open so it got on the dashboard, steering wheel and seat, as well as the drivers outside of the vehicle. What the actual hell?!? Is this some tik-tok challenge?

At the advice of our paint superintendent, they took it to a car wash right away, and got the outside clean. Then cleaned the inside fairly well -- still some that soaked into the seat fabric.

I really don't like PIke Place. I do like some of the holiday blends. ISU Dining used to have a special holiday blend (November-December) but that was when the Roasterie provided the coffee. My main go-to coffee place on campus is Courtyard Cafe in Lagomarcino. I only saw Starbucks signs and cups there so far this fall.

Last year with DH and I both working from home, we ground most of the coffee we drank and it was kind of fun to try out different brands, roasts and flavors. I also bought a Kuerig that does a carafe and an individual mug. Now that we're both back in the office, it takes a long time to use even one bag of beans. Another reason I miss working from home.

I freaking hate Tik-Tok and all the stupid garbage that people share from it on facebook.

Agree. My teenage son came home from school and talked about how stupid it is that people are stealing soap from school restrooms because of some stupid Tik-Tok challenge (his words, not mine). I'm glad he isn't caught up in all of that bullcrap.

FYI - Non acetone based nail polish remover will remove paint from your auto. Then just a coat of wax

Was 42 last night, up to 64 now. Fall.

Edit: Guess you're not worried someone will throw white paint into your house. ;)
It was 46 when I got up this morning. Made me wish I grabbed a pair of gloves before I went on the morning walkabout.
