I am refining my approach to "pour over" coffee making. The biggest problem is going too close to the edge of a completely full filter. Some fines, and even granulas, can end up in the coffee This helps to make it taste bitter. I have been looking at an antique pistol that is 175 years old. I used to put it in a firearm sock. The sock smelled when new. Well, I found out it smelled because of a cleaner/rust preventative solvent. It stripped away most of the bluing and grey patina. What a traumatic experience, watching the value go down by up to a couple thousand dollars. I felt like crying. I have another that is 250 years old in excellent condition. It was made about when the Bill of Rights of the United States was being signed. I just love the history these antiques provide to me. I have not been practicing my piano, which is really foolish. I really want to learn how to play the piano once again.

I have a couple days of work coming up to,orrow. More money! Help with my credit card! I scan everybody's receipt to see if they stole anything from the store. It will be a nine hour day on my feet tomorrow. Tonight I am washing my clothes, walking the dog, and taking a shower. Funny thing. I am not as depressed as I was before the job. This is very odd.
