Title: Sunday coffee....swap day
Post by: Mugwump on April 23, 2017, 04:39:32 AM
...34deg's out, but we'll be around 70 for us later....coffee is very, very good...and needed... |^| 

...the QC swap starts later than most the swaps...it begins at noon, and runs til 4 this afternoon.....it'll be in a different venue which is much more suited for holding swap type events..

..need more coffee now.....it'll be another long day.....

The coffee is great and the weather will bw even better. Plenty of sunshine with temps in the high 60s.

Have a great swap and thanks for the Keith Jarrett.

I'm enjoying my coffee now. Then, it's off to a great breakfast at the Cubby Hole in Richmond, Il. We always stop there on our way west. Next stop . . .  the Quad City Swap in Davenport. The swaps are always fun. My hat's off to Alex for getting this swap going again and taking it to the next level.

Ripped some lumber...... chased Houdini back in........... might mow the lawn again before it rains.

Yesterday I loaded up 10 car batteries, 3 printers and a TV and headed over to the free dump day. Jeeez, they made it free for any kinds of trash and the line was over two hours long so I said Screwit and came home.

...that's good to hear, Liz.....sometimes it just takes moving the muscles around to remind them of their real functions.... |^|
