    If not for hauling parts what's the use of having that extra 1ft of bed space? Lol

    I just want the peppermint stick asap :notsure:

    I genuinely dislike Starbucks. Ordering there turns me into a curmudgeon and I'm so glad my wife can no longer indulge in that overpriced addiction. I'm slowly convincing her it's worth just making it at home.

    I'm also trying to cut back on making it a daily thing.
    Our employer provides Stone Creek and used to get Anodyne (my favorite). By the time I take my break it's all gone though. I got tired of it and bought instant and a mini-kettle I can just plug in. Now I'm just finishing up this bag until I can make an Anodyne run.

    As @OldSchlPunk would say, F*ck 'em!

    Srarbucks $SBUX stock is sinking. Investors were raising questions on their future and how they think they can continue to grow with all the options available today.

    The Starbucks price is ridiculous!

    Some things are worth spending just a little more on though (For at home). Coffee, Whiskey, and Tequila are in that category.

    Even at $20 a 1lb bag lasts us about a week and a half That's about $2 for 8 cups that we brew in the morning. So about $0.25 cup.

    I actually don't mind Starbucks. But, I only go there maybe 2-3 times a year. It's usually when I'm on the road and need some caffeine, and I always order an extra shot.



    Definitely agree that some things are worth the money. I don't really buy cheap booze anymore, even for mixers. I am building up a pretty good tequila collection.

    I'm just saying that $20/lb is fairly expensive compared to some options. I don't go through coffee too fast, so I'm OK with spending a little extra.

    All this talk about the price of coffee reminded me of my adolescent days whether to by a bag of Mexican for $15 or splurge and get the Colombian Red Bud for $35. Concept is the same, sort of. Better coffee/weed=more $$$

    There is a Starbucks next to a Kwik Trip here. Sometimes when getting gas the smell of skunk is in the air. I always figure it's Starbucks.


    Laughing so hard I almost fell over.
    Thanks Dave, I needed that.:rofl:

    I used to make that shit in a previous life. The sodium benzoate was stored in dedicated plastic 32 gal barrels. Mt Dew uses a bunch of it. I had a big, 1lb scoop to measure the amounts. That SB gave me a rash on the inside of my arms. Hated to make those batches. I don't think I have drank 12 cans of Dew over a 35 yr span. It does have a lot of caffeine, too.
