Outfitting the Wing

Such a beauty of a day here. I decided to mod a Cabella's Cot storage thing.

It was too long for The Wing. I cut a foot off and restitched it. I'll hang it up inside of The Wing for more storage.

Now I need to wait for a sucker hole to go see if it fits. Don't worry, the pies will go in a cooler. Next, the trial of industrial strength velcro.

Got hot and cold running water in that thing yet?

I am thinking of heading for Oregon on the Thursday, go spend the night along the beach-- inhale some salt air and walk along the waves... before I head to Springfield on Friday...

Slowp-- very productive work on the Wing! I can't wait to see it!!!

If this weather continues, I can have cold running water by opening the roof vent. I also added a 4" memory foam topper so I can't feel the pea underneath the mattress.-- Referencing the fairy tale of The Princess and the Pea.

I will have my stoves and a little espresso maker. We must keep some semblance of being civilized.

Good deal! Now we know where to get coffee first thing in the morning. Are you supplying cookies, too?

Ahem... Scones.

I might could. Latte Jed? :greenchainsaw:

I've never made scones. Another trip to town to find a mix?

Beneighs? But they have to be warm and have powdered sugar ala' Cafe DuMond.

"Beignets" is the correct spelling LOL... warm and FRESH is the key... they are nummy... best eaten in the French Quarter at the Cafe Du Monde... while sipping hot cocoa and watching the people walking by... oh, memories... hmmm listening to a saxaphone down the street...

Okay, you got me on the spelling. But...hot chocolate? No. Chicory coffee in demitasse cups laced with warm milk, and perhaps a bit of brandy, is the only proper way. I used to live about three blocks from there and a stop at the Cafe DuMonde was usually preceded by a visit to the Acme Oyster Bar, Cosmo's and Johnny White's Annex. Ah, the good old days....and nights. Some of them I can even remember.

Bad news, that. Isn't coffee one of the basic food groups?

I was told they if they are come from a box then they not scones. :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[slowp]

Well then. That does it. I can bring the favorite local cuisine of loggers. A box of Donuttos. They'll keep fresh for months and then you just chuck the box out the window when done.

For Those Of Us

that don't drink with an extended "Pinkie" finger I will have a coffee maker out there ( run by a kinda quiet generator) saturday and Sunday early am. That's for when we huddle by the fire, slightly shivering, and both hands on the cup..........The "Yuppie" sippers will still be in the sack.................Bob

 

[madhatte]

I roll with the French press. All you gotta do is throw some grounds in there, pour hot water over them, let it sit a minute ot two, then push the basket strainer down. Almost-instant coffee!

 

[belgian]

Looking forward to this, hope we can convince Belgian to make it as well!

Hate to disappoint you folks, but belgian will not be able to make it:rant:
I had little hope to begin with, as my annual holidays were planned for late of july already with my company. Just too much hassle involved to change all current plans, both at home and at work.

I still have intentions to make a trip to the PNW in the future though, as I definately want to pay a visit to Wayne Suttons saw museum one day.

I trust it will be a nice and pleasant GTG ... the Mac rumble in the PNW jungle...the oldtimers should hang on to their fake teeth though....haha.

Thanks to Mark also for the offer on the bonus miles ! It is appreciated.

Sorry to hear you're not coming. If you do make it out here in the future I'd be glad to give you a tour of the Redwoods.

 

[Farley9n]

Dammmmmmmm

You will be missed! Please think of us when you do the Sutton trip!
Despite what you see in the aftermath pictures & videos of our GTG we are good people and would love to help make your PNW visit memorable........Bob

Seems this is a pretty picky bunch... as well as you bake, Slowp, if this was an appreciative audience, i know you could make a scone worthy to be consumed... but hey, i'm not sure this audience would care! probably still give you a hard time...

i figure years of eating delights like Donuttos is why my health is good-- the preservatives are giving me an extended life...
