Hey Robert, we are getting the same weather as you - a high of 63 is forecast for today and it is raining.  That is 25-30 degrees below what we have been running.  Our air conditioner will stay on, but Greg usually keeps the house at 66--68 degrees during the summer and I did bump the thermostat up to 72 when I came downstairs.  I got all the wallpaper stripped in the upstairs guest room and got all the nail holes patched, so the room is ready for the boys to come paint it tomorrow.  I slapped a bit of paint on the wall to see how I liked it, as this was the 3rd color I have bought for that room, and I loved it.  I had made up my mind that even if I didn&#39;t, I wasn&#39;t changing my mind again - it was getting too expensive&#33;&#33;&#33;  I have to go to the bank and then make a CostCo run today.  Greg will only drink Starbucks coffee and that is the cheapest place I can get it.  I get a 2.5 lb (40 oz) bag of beans there for 17.99  which is less than 1/2 what I would pay at the grocery store.  I buy 2 bags and CostCo has huge grinders so I can grind both of them in about 5 minutes.  I have a grinder here at home but it doesn&#39;t work that well.  Then I will come home and sew coffee pods.  Greg makes his own coffee (I have tried to do it but I always get the water level wrong or something) besides, he has a habit of getting up between 4:00 - 5:00 on weekends and I am not up until around 10:00.  So I take two coffee filters and sew a large circle in the middle of them, leaving a small opening and then use a funnel to use the exact amount he likes inside the &quot;pouch&quot;, sew up the opening and cut off the remainig filter paper.  That way, he doesn&#39;t have to mess with filters or measiring, just tosses one intot he filter basket.  I keep the majorityof them in the freezer so they stay fresh.  I do it on the sewing machine and it doesn&#39;t take long at all.  Well, guess I had better get myself moving and get out there in this gloomy weather.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone....<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br /><b>Hey tell Greg I only drink Starbucks and buy it here for home as well&#33;&#33; Glad your weathers great as well, I can usually get a pound for &#036;6.49 here now sometimes &#036;7.00&#33;&#33; <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Gal youve been busier than a beaver building a dam&#33;&#33; <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Take care talk at you later and tell greg I said hello&#33;&#33; <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/thumbup.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbup:" border="0" alt="thumbup.gif" /> </b>
