Fun with coffee

I decided to swing by and give Val’s a try.  

Johnny says we’re gonna hafta stop at Starbucks 🤪

We got Julie’s dad’s watch fixed up for my birthday

I was able to pick it up this past week and it was awesome to have it running again.  It’s got a new power reserve capacitor, crown, and gasket.  I like the exhibition case back and the cool whole face luminescence.  It also reminds me so much of Steve and him wearing it during all the home improvement projects and adventures we did together!


Cool looking juvenile stink bug

We all agreed, they look better than the adult ones haha.

Julie’s mystery snail lays eggs that defy gravity

You can see them sliding up the foot to join the clutch of eggs out of the water.

Caught in the act of laying eggs

I caught Julie’s mystery snail in the act of laying eggs.  It was cool to see them defy gravity as they moved up their foot into the clutch.  You can see one nuts emerging from under the shell, and one on the way up the foot in this shot.  Creepy and cool at the same time.

That’s a good Proverb

Whether you’re talking about a pet or a working animal, good to think about.

This clone experiment is a convincing fake…

Box, papers, hang tag.  Silly really.  Even the NFC card chip in the warranty card takes you to the right place.

Percy checking out Andy’s new tool box…

…He can’t decide if it’s for Andy’s truck or some kind of new cat carrier to be afraid of…!? Hahaha.

I just like looking at watch movements and case back…

Yeah, I know, I’m a weirdo…

Different but very similar vibe…

Parked next to this gladiator that seems to feel the same way I do 🤪

Looking for a cup of coffee…

…And these guys popped up.  They had a coffee pop-up stand on Wayne Street after my lunch at Dublin Pub.  I was headed to find a cup of coffee so it was the perfect chance to pull a u-turn and try something new.  Funny thing is, I found them in Waynesville yesterday at another pop-up location.  Fun.  They’re surveying the area to see where they get the most traction and eventually plan to open their own shop.
