Go Andy Go! You looks super dooper!

I gained 10 lbs over the summer. I want to get that off by my birthday in December because that is when Midsummer's Nights Dream is.
It is cold so it made the home gym suck.
I put my in-town gym membership on hold because they wont let one of my kids sit and do homework in the waiting area. It makes no sense. I may rejoin when the weather is too cold.
I used the local free gym near my kids school. I drive them to school and then hit the gym.
All the equipment is so old that the diagrams all have feathered hair and Jane Fonda style leotards on and they have chains instead of cables and sound like a Roller Coaster when it clicks going up hill.
But it is free.
And it is warm.
And I usually have it all to myself.

You're lokin' great Andy. I showed Shirley the pictures you posted she says you look younger. I don't know if you think so but that's a good thing.
Shirley has lost 87 pounds. She had more to spare than you. I am happy about this. She is at a much healthier weight. I'm selfish, I'd like for her to be around a long time. Me too for that matter.

I don't know if it was you or Nick that talked about aero-press coffee maker . . .

Either way. Thank you.


Bought one yesterday at a local coffee shop for the same price I see it advertised on Amazon.

Wonderful.

Smooth.


Still need to figure out the perfect amount of coffee grounds for me but so far I love it. Much easier to clean than a French press too!

I use the Aero Press at work - it really is great. I'm glad you're enjoying it - I got one for Ben for Christmas a couple years ago but he's married to the French press and has never used it. I like the results with the Aero a lot better. The pack of filters that come with it last FOREVER, too - I've only had to buy one refill on filters in the three years I've been using it!

Sheryl got an amazing deal on Honeycrisp apples - 2nds that the farm couldn't sell to grocery stores. $.35/pound!

We bought 100 pounds of them and took them to my brother-in-law's house on Saturday - they have a cider press.

We pressed about 90 of the pounds (saved the very best ones for eating). Got 4 gallons of cider and had a ton of fun doing it. Ben and Emma ran the press while Sheryl and I cut the apples.

I have reserved 5 quarts for fermenting into grown-up cider...

Honeycrisp cider is really light and refreshing - when we've done this in the past we've used a bunch of different varieties - it's interesting to see how different (and GOOD!) the cider is by going with just one variety.

im determined to make it to apple picking this year. We went years ago when the kids were little and were so late in the season the trees were already bare. But we had a blast making cider with the guys who ran the place. They couldn't sell the hard stuff but they could give it away. They were fun people.

I have never had trouble with Canada geese, but the lake near where I grew up had a small group of domestic geese who lived there - those things were about twice the size of the Canada geese and NASTY!
