willstrickland Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 -48F at Casa Strickland right now. Yesterday morning, -46F. Tomorrow, heat wave -25!! You would think at some point that your employer would have a cut off point where the ice fog and frostbite danger is a liability. In fact, most agencies have some point where they say "just stay home today" My employer? No. But they remind you that they have a "liberal leave policy", in other words you are more than welcome to take one of your few and precious vacation days. The worst part of -48F? Being stuck in a house with NO BEER, and whole bean coffee WITH NO GRINDER. ARRRHHHGGGHHH!! My damn head is pounding from caffeine withdrawl. /end rant. Quote
Dru Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 dude grind it yourself with a file, one bean at a time. you are stuck athome with time on your hands! Quote
Harkin_Banks Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 oh oh, my latte frother is jammed with ice and the resulting froth is so uncivilised! oh! just eat the coffee pussy. Quote
Bogen Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Been there. Put beans in dish towel, pound the shit out of em with your shoe. You won't get it very fine, so use lots, but it works ok in the end. Quote
Alpinfox Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 My advice: 1) open a window 2) crawl out window 3) rope up the neighborhood dogs and mush into town 4) go to store and buy a grinder (AND BEER!) 5) enjoy. Quote
specialed Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 No beer, coffee, or pussy. I'd kill myself. Quote
bunglehead Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Holy shit that's cold! And no coffee or beer! SUCKS. Quote
Alex Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 just imagine no beer, no coffee, no ....Internet!! Quote
bunglehead Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 ALL YOU'D BE LEFT WITH IS THE PORN!! Quote
Ricardo_Montalban Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 why did you buy whole coffee bean if you don't have a ginder? Quote
MisterMo Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 No beer? That's whiskey weather anyway. Quote
sk Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 No beer, coffee, or pussy. I'd kill myself. man, me too Quote
Ducknut Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 It really doesn't matter if it is - F or -C when it gets that cold, does it? I have to go to Bethel in early February. Think I'll start preparing now. Anyone want to try a naked winter climb of Hood? Quote
