Yesterday afternoon I was rooting around under the sink and saw the white distilled cider. I had a thunk thought, I hadn’t cleaned the coffee maker in a while so I grabbed the bottle and poured a full tank worth and my modus operandi is to let the cider set for a couple of hours to suck up the calcium and other encrustations… I go about my business and completely forget I had poured the cider. Well, when I was going to bed about midnight I went to fill up coffee maker with water and thought, Oh! I filled the coffee maker earlier with water and the fixes and to go bed. I get up this morn (about 8am) and per my usual pattern turn on the the coffee and put shoes on, grab the leash and take Guido out for her morning dump. We get back in and the coffee is ready and I pour a cup and add my half and half and go sit at the ‘puter and turn it on and took my first sip… the splatter of that mouthful covered the screen and keyboard and part of my desk. White cider vinegar does not make good coffee!

That’s nothing. I can hide my own Easter eggs. You were probably distracted on the phone late.
In fact I was, but it was pleasant!
Yup, out of Seattle you go…
It works better with a 50/50 of vinegar and water, BTW…
And you don’t gasp as much after that first AM swig – I have been told…
Aye, Laddie the older ye get the more often thar shite happens !!
I sympathize with you. I left a whole damn walker in the driveway at my wifes doctor.
As we get older lists become soooooooo important. Put a check list next to coffee pot!
OOOHHHHH MMYYYYYY. I understand, though, of course I’ve NEVER EVER done ANYTHING like that, EVER. Well, hardly ever.
That you can remember, anyway!
Get a coffee squisher Cederq…
Pray tell what a “coffee squisher’ do? Bad enough they crush the beans to talcum powder consistently…
French Press. IMHO they use a lot of coffee grounds to get the desired thickness in the brew.
Percolators, again IMHO, are the best. Second is drip.
I’m still chortling. Yah, tastes like shit, ask me how I know.
Did the clean out the device last week, made a big point of pouring out the pot if hot vinegar and running two pots of water through it after. You only do this once, brain will remember thereafter or your wife will kill you, whichever happens first.
Don’t know about your situation but my wifey unit is at least 2 pots of coffe/day person. I have cut way back from what it used to be 40 years ago.
Amazing how much better and faster the drip maker runs now. Smile bro.
Blessedly single and a one pot a day guy…
This reminds me of the time I …. what was I saying? Oh the time when.. well sorry, I laughed I think.
Somehow this makes me feel so much better.
LMAO!
Let he who is without Brain Farts cast the first stone!
About as bad as me changing oil in the Motor Home and forgetting to put the drain plug back in! 10 quarts of oil on the ground. I shut the engine off before it got damaged, thank goodness!
Wifey Unit never lets me forget about this.
I did an oil change once and failed to notice that the filter O-ring stayed in the block. So I spun on the new filter, giving it two O-rings. Blew six quarts of fresh oil on the garage floor in about thirty seconds. I’ve had a good deal of respect for oil pressure ever since.
That was a good one!
I don’t believe I’d a told that, if-n it was me……
If you can’t make fun of yourself, you ain’t much fun.
…and just think Cederq, you’re only sixty with all that that entails.
Nemo, I am 64… old enough not be attractive to young thangs and old enough to be wise and cunning to stay out of jail…..
Like my Daddy always said, it’s hell to get old.
I think you just invented the “Redneck Cleanse”, C. We’ll make millions!
yup. package it is dark brown bottles. any old ones you can find cheap. and then sell it to the city folk at 9.99 a bottle !
names like special blends ad other dumb shit they go for.
you be closer to getting rich before they shut down.
after all some Arab clown was selling his own piss as camel piss to
other Arabs and got away with it for years !
he used old soda/water bottles too.
