Can you even begin to imagine how dirty a portable job site coffee maker would probably get? Give the thing a month and I bet it would look like a chem manor's research project

Civil War reenactment is LARPing for people with no imagination.

I have seen the kitchen appliances that get dragged out on job sites. Mostly it is microwaves for heating up homemade burritos and the like. But I have seen coffee makers and hot plates, toaster ovens, grills, etc. They all look like get used also as a tool for whatever trade the person who brought it works in. Painter? His is painted some kind of eggshell off white color. Drywaller? His is permanently coated in a 1/8" layer of dust...as is the food that comes out of it. Stucco? He cannot even open his without using a chisel on it first. Framer? Dents....lots of dents. Electrician? Fixed with electrical tape....more than once.....and the cord has been spliced with wire nuts, the ground lug removed, and it gets hung up with the rest of the extension cords in the van. :) I thought you would have just stopped at Starbucks on your way and topped off your $69 insulated mug with the BMW logo on it. :)

If I'm paying $70 for a thermal mug, it's at least going to be a yeti.

I looked at this in Chrome on my desk PC, which is not logged into Facebook.
Went on FB on my phone (in Safari) and there was an ad for it.
Love it.

This is a great example of people doing what they know. I'd hate to see one of these owned by a surgeon... mortician... whatever you call an aquarium specialist....

Again, don't mean to harp on you dude, but...
When will you learn the difference between
- could of
and
- could've
Do you write like this on your proposals and emails to your (probably educated) clients?
Even Ernie has given up! I still have hope! :)

If it had an integrated radio that only tuned to reggaeton and mariachi music channels, I can see that being useful around here. I'd set one up and charge 2 dollars per cup.

I used an old conversion van at one time.
Had a full kitchen in it, along with a sofa & table that turned into a bed. Small sink with a fresh water tank, refrigerator and propane cook top.
I did use the refrigerator, but never really used the other stuff.
It was kinda nice having cold water and drinks on the job sites.

Even Ernie has given up! I still have hope! :) Frankly, I can't even think of a situation where "could of" would be proper grammar. But perhaps I'm overlooking something obvious? "Of" is a preposition. Have, which is what he meant, is typically a verb.

Chasing Ernie's post count, one useless post at a time. |
