May be a black-and-white image of 2 people and text that says 'The lesson I want you to learn is... it doesn't matter what you look like, you can be tall, short or fat or thin or ugly or handsome like your Father, or you can be black or yellow or white, it doesn't matter. What does matter is the size of your heart and the strength of your character. -Herman Munster'

My good thing for today: I don't have to make these coffee bags anymore.

And and I still don't have to clean the French press pot and plunger every night, because I found this doodad. It's meant for tea, but the mesh is very fine, so it works with coffee without leaking grounds into your cup:

It's easy, and makes great coffee.

The big mugs I use hold two cups.

So I add two heaping tablespoons ground organic coffee to the infuser. Pour the boiled water into the mug about two thirds of the way to the top. You don't want to overfill and risk floating grounds into your cup. Then dip in the infuser. It's just the right size to rest on the cup. The water seeps up from the bottom, and I pour a little more over the top of the grounds, slowly, gently, again being careful not to float grounds too high. Wait 2-3 minutes.

Done! I did top it off with a little more hot water to fill 'er up.

You can make a second cup by adding just one more tablespoon coffee to the wet grounds in the infuser. With that small addition, the previous dose still has enough strength to make a second strong cup.

The grounds dry out the rest of the day and empty easily into your compost or trash, just tap the infuser gently.

This is to edit my previous post about this inexpensive, easy to use doodad that makes excellent coffee for one, in case it helps anyone who doesn't want to clean a coffee pot every night when it's just you.

I mentioned lowering the infuser into the cup full of hot water, then pouring a little more hot water over the top of the grounds. You DO NOT have to pour over at all. In fact it's better if you don't. When you pour over, the coffee grounds somehow resist the water. When it steeps from below, the coffee somehow draws in the water and brews strong, and causes that gratifying foamy swirl when you pull out the infuser.

For what it's worth, I never use the lid that came with it. It brews, I drink it. The lid is already lost.

So I went out shortly after my last post to tune up the tiller and give it a goin over and a start, it started second pull, not bad for sittin from last summer.:bliss:
Then I figured I'd give er a test run to see if it was dry enough.:oops:
Sure enough it started tillin pretty nice still a tad damp;)
After doin that I knew I had to come in and put both knee braces on and 3/4 of a roll of duck tape to make a makeshift cast for worst knee and back out I went :facepalm:
I wish I had it filmed, I looked like Chester on gun smoke out there tillin a garden:giggle:
But, and now this is my good thing for today, got over half of the garden triple tilled to about 8 or 9 inches deep, then it started to sprinkle and then light rain.:(
Good thing though:facepalm:
I am really payin for this one, my whole body hurts but worth it:rolleyes:
And it was a very good thing:)
