I followed in my old man's footsteps in many ways. One was my choice of professions heavy equipment operator specializing in making concrete, asphalt, and other road materials. I started my apprenticeship when Dad was making concrete for one of the contractors building I 40 across the Mojave Desert. One of my most important duties when I was on the job was making the coffee for he and his mixer drivers I only got it wrong once and that was enough He punished me by not giving me any gas for my Honda Mini Trail and made me wash mixer trucks I learned fast back then. Those guys liked "Tip the Can" coffee. None of the 50% stuff 
The old definition of "cup of mud".

Coffee "goodness" is situational... I've had coffee in fancy espresso bars in Vienna, smashed beans in poke sack with a rock and dipped it in hot water and I've eaten a packet of instant coffee and washed it down with a swig out of a canteen.
They were all good cups of coffee

3 of these per day during winter months
They were a little easier in summer when it was 115° outside

Looks like a slow moving morning, heating pad under me, and my 3rd cup of mud (thank you toolmanmike) and a muffin with strawberry jelly, toasted of course.
Rockers are not hard to replace Chris just take your time and grind out the spot welds and after cleaning everything up you plug weld the new one on. Just make sure the door lines up with it and the fender.

Don’t forget playing in the snow at altitude where the flavor of the cup is not nearly as important as warming your hands with said canteen cup!
Morning everyone heading to work then a Pizza party at my kids house.

I got enough leftovers from the NYD BBQ the brat in law and I did, I won't have to cook for a week. Thinkin' a crock pot full of Jambalaya in my near future.
One of my all time favorite dishes.
You need a big old number to go with your bourbon Mike.. that reminds me..Toasted? I haven't been toasted for years!
This has been the best to date, love me a half every morning.
I might have to give them a nudge.

There's a Brand X Wagon in the next county I may have to go look at.
Yes, you really should, now I am off my heating pad and almost dressed for this 35 degree morning, should hit 44 today so I may as well get out to the shop, build a fire, and see what I want to do today, hope to start preparing the inside of my Plymouth for this, came in yesterday, 5 weeks to get cut and delivered
All long tops are cool, even the big old Oldsmobile
