The cool thing about the traveling is experiencing all kinds of coffee, luwak coffee in Bali and in Europe, so many cafes. At home I tend to get stuck with Timmy's although it really is a crappy cup of coffee served by teens that can't even count to double double. I'll take Starbucks if it's around, a blonde roast with some vanilla in it. I have 6 Kg of green coffee from various countries that I will be roasting small amounts at a time at home, then grind it and press or use my breville to steep the grounds. I also try and collect whole coffee from any country I see and have that at home to change up the flavor. Did you know also, that the darker the roast the less caffeine content, as it gets cooked out during roasting.

Finally got to experience Paris without the riots and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. For being busy and touristy, I actually enjoyed myself quite a bit.

They closed down the metro close to the city, I walked about a mile away and caught a connecting train to my B+B in the outer parts of the city, much calmer there. I'll venture back into the city tomorrow, later morning, it's good to get outta there. As much as I like to "flirt with danger" I'll easily pass on this one

I don't want this to be political, I'm currently in Paris and the yellow vest protestors were in full force, I drove through 2 toll plazas and didn't have to pay from the sheer unsafety of stopping to pay a toll, now there were legit riots in the streets with fire hoses and tear gas, it's unbelievable. France is currently more unsafe than several other "dangerous" countries I've been to

Nhl should corner the market on Sweetest Day

Only 11 pages, in the midst of an 8 game win streak....you guys are gonna have to do better ? I can't believe it, I stayed up late here to stream it on my phone, and I really honestly thought we'd lose, but freaking A man, we pulled it out again!!

We are what 4th in the league and I'm catching up on the boards and we still have some serious sour-pussing going on over a simple conversation, we are winning more than we ever have in the past decade. I don't care if eichel is passing to Dahlin and then to P ville and Skinner and not getting any assists as long as we keep win steaks like this one going, it's all that really matters. I'm a science guy too, but man, some of the stuff is just over the top. Just watch the games and smile, and drink

Damn, I was hoping to catch up for a beer, ill be leaving from Bruges to Paris the 30th, no chance eh?

I'm glad I woke up to this, sad I couldn't see it this time. @Huckleberryyou live in Belgium no? I'm driving to Bruges tomorrow from Amsterdam, are you anywhere near there?

Time to the light the pilut and turn up the heat!

Good luck josie, I caught something my last day in Uganda and had about 26 hours of flight time, many hours spent in the bathroom, between trying to stay hydrated and losing it all out of both ends, I made it through, and have faith in you ??? drink some ginger ale to settle the stomach, some ibuprofen, and the BRAT diet and you'll be all set

Didn't see that until now, it's supposed to say dear, ill fix it.. I don't I actually don't like to go by my title anyways. Well it won't let me edit it, soooo whatevs

I didn't read the end of the thread I don't believe, it was all straight and narrow up until I read, my impression is that he will chuckle, I find this to be a hilarious reminder of a fun little promise

This is purely in fun, no negative meanings at all, and to keep it fresh ? we can't let him wiggle his way outta this one ???

Soooooo..... This thread shall serve as a reminder thatour dearest PA, had promised to write our beloved team owner a congratulatory Christmas card after the dismantling of the Pens. All drafts, proof and discussion shall remain here, throughout the process. Enjoy ? Love you, PA

Oh the hair, hey if that's what it takes to get a ring, then I'm cool it haha. It's true, I have worked very hard for things now, though I still see desolation everywhere and I always question myself if I'm doing enough for those less fortunate, maybe I need to be less selfish, but it is just a tough thing to think about at times. And yes the trips are fulfilling, but let's be honest, pooping in a stinky hole in 95 degree weather with next to no food gets tiring realllll quick lol

Yes, but when I took it, it got stuck in my throat... And I got a stiff neck ??

Haha oh man, at first I thought you were serious, I should know better. Sometimes, I do feel bad because I'm always somewhere and I def battle in my head if I'm being arrogant with my pics, I realllllyyyy never want to be seen that way. Show me that ring and you can go with haha ????? Actually, it was freaking awesome with no people there, there were slopes open though, skiers, just not in hoards, made zermatt look awesome with minimal people, I was able to take multiple cables up to the top and experience it, besides I don't know how to ski hahaha. Wind was at 75 km/hr up top, freaking insane. I'm def coming back to Switzerland, though it's expensive as ***** here

Absolutley loving me some Switzerland, 13,000ft up, frozen and in absolute awe!

It's not a buffalo attitude, it's an attitude of being a realistic fan. You don't go from worst to first (maybe once in a blue moon) but it's just not expected, if we win the cup, then F yeah, and I would love the team to be in win now mode, Every. Single. Day. They. Exist, so for the purpose of the team, and the fans, yes its win now..... But for the purpose of real life, trading away what could be significant depth for a piece that may or may not help this team, in a year where they aren't expecting to win the cup, would be silly. Let's say we surprise everyone and win a round this year, awesome, we still have the AHL guys, a re-signed Skinner (hopefully) more mature Jack, Dahlin etc, and now we have all the picks to make moves in the off-season for more established talent or to restock for the guys coming up from the A. And next year, we have a better shot and more realistic shot of gunning for the cup.... And keeping a sustained level of high play. This is literally the first time in my Buffalo fan hood life, that I am comfortable with saying that 1 year is OK to wait, just 1 season, because the payoff in my honest opinion will be better and more sustained.

And less than matt Donovan ? Actually, I really have no clue

I don't believe the trade for Skinner was for a rental, I have to assume that Jbot foresaw that Skinner would work with Jack, give him some time and let him flourish and then resign him, that's where I stand, I think Skinner will be here long term. It's been years since we've had depth, and as much as winning now would be awesome, it's not the plan, if we win now, it also raises the prices of now "cup winning" players, and that can mess with our cap and player retention. If we're legitimately a contender in solid place at the deadline, I'd be OK with moving some lesser pieces to get deeper, but we're not there yet. We beat some good teams, but I'm confident that an elite team would crush us in a playoff series, we may squeak out a series, but that's not good enough, take the year, build on what we have and then dominate the league for a while.
