Was in 2 minds, as to whether I report the OP as spam.

Shipping is a bit over the top but what the hell I’m looking forward to getting my beans.

I might do that but forget to take my meds too. My lady calls my a procrastinator. To appease her, I went to the book store and purchased a book called " How not to be procrastinator." As far as I can tell, the book hasn't helped. On the other hand, I have never read it. I put off reading the book and it's sitting in the book case.

Something I remembered about boiling a garbage can full of water and coffee ("camp coffee") from back in the WWI and WWII days, they would boil the snot out of the can for something 15-20 minutes then throw a couple of gallons of cold water in to get the grounds to settle on the bottom.

I've never had the chance to try authentic hardtack, so I'll take your word for it.

Here's an idea: Barb's Boxcar & Bridge Blowout Blend.

Explosively packed with caffeine, where you'll feel so lucky, you'll think you're Fluckey. Microswitches not included.

May be a joke, but it's a joke I would buy - reminds me to pick up a moka pot this week.

^ Yeah, I got all excited for a second. "That'll be perfect in my 'tonnage' mug.", I thought to myself.

Oh, well ...
