Early check in please - Thanks - Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays - Bernie
I saw a couple of posts dealing with coffee, which reminds me that back in the 70's, that the only reason why I started to drink coffee, was because it was the cheapest drink on the restaurant menu, only two bits, or 25 cents, and the only drink where they gave/give you free refills, except you could sometimes get one free refill of lemonade during the Summertime, or maybe one free refill of milk during the month of June, in what they call, "June Dairy Days."
I find coffee to be sort of bitter tasting, so I need to, "Doctor it up" so to speak, putting some milk, or half and half, or cream, or creamer, etc, in it, plus some sugar or sugar substitute in it.
I can drink flavored coffee Black sometimes, if it's like French Vanilla flavored, for an example.
A local restaurant carries Door County Coffee, and if they haven't chosen a flavor of the day when I get there, I can choose what flavor to make.
Anyway, after a number of years, receiving messages in my inbox, dealing with Door County Coffee, and since a local restaurant does have it, I decided to try it, and I do like some of the flavors...and they give an extra large cup, maybe 3 times the normal size, when they serve it to you.
They've got other flavors, and right now, some flavors just for the holiday season, but here are some of the offered flavors:

Actually, I've been trying, and drinking, this coffee Black lately, which I paid $1.06 for, $1.00 plus $0.06 sales tax, which I picked up at the Dollar Tree Store.
I was at the employee Christmas Party earlier, and now I'll be at the company staff Christmas Party, since I'm a member of the staff, and since there'll be music there, and since I don't want music to go over the air, I won't talk on the net, but I'll be listening, that is if I can hear my home station at the party, which I think that I will be able to do so, as the party will be about 5 Miles from home, and right now my Echolink station is set to transmit at medium power, which is 25 watts, and the antenna is at 40 feet, on a 40-foot extendable mast....I won't be dancing but I'll be watching other people dancing...LOL...Of course I could use my Samsung smart phone's Echolink APP to listen to the net, but whenever possible, I prefer to listen to the net over RF.
73 and have a great day,
Bernie
