I've rocking to this in my Bermuda shorts and my poison of choice...

Which is the reason I can never understand how people can love a song without knowing (and understanding) the lyrics to said song. Sadly that happens a lot.

Music is a language unto its own. I grew up with really poor audio gear and really couldn’t make out a lot of lyrics. Not every album provided lyrics. But the music can still lift you up and carry you.

Lol! I'm afraid my singing would only be counter to the respectful and ethical treatment of any human within audible range.

Stop trying to sing Marilyn Manson songs and that might help.

Oh and since I never received any Oklahoma redbud trees I bought some local and had my guys plant them.

But Marilyn Manson is perfect for people who can't sing, because at the recommended 105 dB playback levels you can't hear yourself.

Which leads to another great song IMO, Candle in the Wind… Elton John

So, given that Prime Day ends today, I decided to spring for an AeroPress and a pour-over kettle with water temp display. I've watched the official video on how to use it and it seems pretty straight forward, but a comment I saw on a review stated AeroPress is easy to use and difficult to Master. Any tips for an AeroPress newbie. Any accessories recommended besides a grinder?

I sprung for one too, I'm giving it a try in just a bit. Long term French press user here, so we will see...

Let's post any mutual tips!

You should try to listen to a few songs in languages you don't speak and you'll quickly understand how this works for, let's face it, pretty much most of the planet's population. ;p

All the time. I love Fado. My spanish is good enough to catch one word in 5, due the the Portuguese proximity rule (and ), most days, so I'm pretty sure I get the gist. But the melody. That's just too beautiful to be ignored.

Do not push all the way since you want to keep the bitter/astringent components locked in the grounds. Stop pushing as soon as you hear the hiss and enjoy delicious coffee

You'd need a good scale to get consistent strength/intensity of your brews

And let's not forget Cats In The Cradle.

Sadly, I know a couple guys (none here) who were absent dads. They're living that song, and it's sad.

I’ve never read the book ”Stranger in a Strange Land”, but the title immediately makes me think of We didn’t Start the Fire by Billy Joel. I wonder what that makes me, an illiterate oaf, but.. I like music?

Decameron!

You may have given this advice as a joke, but it is very good advice!

Same story for me for some years, as much as I wanted to read fiction I was working and going to one of those schools that end in Institute of Technology so I had to concentrate on that which might make up a career.

In retirement I never have to do another resume and list my education or where I worked so I am loving that part of it.

Amen! NO ONE cares what my resume looks like in retirement.
