The Coffee Pot

[Beagleman_Dan]

Mornin' Hoosiers,

Being new to this site, I could not find the morning coffee pot or any cyber-food for breakfast. Does this website offer a forum for general B.S.ing about anything or nothing? Heck, every outdoor website has a "Campfire", "Coffee Pot", "Water Cooler", or some type forum whare folks chat about anything & everything.

Just a suggestion, that's all.

So let me start it off by offering this pot of Folgers Dark Roast. In honor of the opening of deer season this weekend, I made this in my old camp coffee perculator I take to deer camp and on campouts. You know, there is nothing better than coffee perked over a campfire. There is a heck of a difference in the flavor of perked coffee and the drip style we are all accustomed to now days.

So grab yerselves a cup of camp coffee and pull up a chair. We'll sit here by the wood stove and shoot the bull for awhile. Are you ready for the weekend opener? I am. I am pumped. I would love to see this cool weather last through the weekend, but I'm afraid it is gonna warm back up some.

Have a good day folks.
-Dan- ;)

[ice dude]

I'm with you the cold and wind can stick around. Keep those deer moving. I would reallly like to see a fine dusting of snow.

[Beagleman_Dan]

Amen to that thought Ice Dude. It has been many, many moons since I remember snow on opening day. I think it was 1974 opener in Southern Michigan. I killed a real nice 8-point that day.

-Dan- ;)

[ccavacini]

If you're a bird hunter, you live for snow...makes everything easier for the hunter and the dog.

Birds sit tighter....easier to spot them when they fall....scenting conditions much easier on a dog....fun to track them in the snow.


and..............it's prettier out.

[LoveHunting]

Oh ya, there's nothing better than hunting in the snow. deer stick out like a sore thumb. too bad it is going to warm up, but oh well, as long as the rut is in and people are out moving deer around, there's a good chance to see something.

[Beagleman_Dan]

Yes, the rut is in full force, and that is gonna help a lot. Some years it seems the rut is over or about over by opening day, but not this year.
-Dan- ;)

[ChapstickCharlie]

Late season pheasant hunting in the snow. Now there's a cup of Joe for ya. Best hunt I ever had was one afternoon at a reserve up here in northwest Indiana when the wind was light, there was 5 inches of powder on the ground and flakes coming down. Late afternoon and I remember actually hearing the birds calling as they were coming in. Tally was one rooster and two quali from a covey that surprised me. Course I didn't get any on the first rise, but was lucky enough to walk them down. That was in 1976. Hmmm, Campfire coffee. Takes you back. Where's the kettle.

[Beagleman_Dan]

I'll tell you something else that is a blast, and that is squirrel hunting after deer season is over, and there is snow on the ground. You can take some of them longer shots with no fear of not finding the squirrel on the ground.

Of course, with beagles and all, I just love listening to my dogs singing their song while I wait for Mr. bunny to come hopping by me. :bouncy: A few inches of snow, a couple beagles, rabbits, oh yeah, talk about fun.
-Dan- ;)

[Beagleman_Dan]

By the way, 30° here this morning. Coffee is on, and I've made a couple fried egg sandwiches. Help yourself.

Have a great day folks. And good luck this weekend.
-Dan- ;)

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

This sounds like a good Idea the coffee pot, I like Maxwell house dark roast myself. But have had my arm twisted into a Starbucks hazelnut Mocha every now and then.

[monster10rackstack]

where did you dig this thread up from

[pigeonflier]

I miss beagleman Dan,, everymorning,, he used to have a pot of coffee and a bowl of HOT oatmeal,, and a fire stoked up and ready!! Where are you now BeagleManDan?

[jackc99]

Dan moved to Michigan about 3 years ago and I haven't heard from him since.

Jack

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

where did you dig this thread up from

Did a search looking for rabbits, and ran across it, thought it was good and gave it a bump.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Got my maxwell house brewing this morning, and scrambled eggs. heading off to work, you all have a good day. If you catch too many remember us working stiffs...

[sportmanst]

folgers columbian medium-dark roast in my mug right now

[cjones46]

I can't drink coffee anymore. My acid reflux gave me a stinking esophageal ulcer...it's gone now. But I don't ever in my life want to have that feeling again so I'll just have a power bar and bottle of water.

Morning Fellas!

[monster10rackstack]

Morning guys.....

[Arps]

Love the Folgers classic roast, but nothing beats a Starbucks Mocha.

[sportmanst]

Love the Folgers classic roast, but nothing beats a Starbucks Mocha.


you got sucked into the cult!? put the Starbucks down and step away...it's ok...you can do it...you have the power to walk away.

[fmj]

@ $7 for a cup of MUD...it becomes VERY easy to boycott Scarbucks!!


I'll take that $7 and buy me a jug of Folgers and get 30 POTS of mud...thanks all the same ;)

[Arps]

I dont buy it often...but man it is good! I can taste it now, just talking about it!

[fmj]

I can taste it now, just talking about it!


Deep breaths, man...deep breaths....just slow down...it DOES get better with time..as with ANY bad addiction ;)

[Arps]

Luckily they are closing the one by my house, and I cant afford the extra gas and the 6 dollar tall.

[esecs]

I Can Honestly Say I Have Never Had A Starbucks Coffee.

[esecs]

now if they can just close down the crack house next door i think i will be ok.:bonk:

[hunterdaddy]

Starbucks posted it's first loss since it's inception, quick Arps run down and save them with a cup. I went there once and when the kid told me how much I just paid him, drove off and never went back. Next day bought a grinder and now have fresh everyday for just about nothing. wife has to have hers in the morn or withdrawals set in and it's run for cover, me, take it or leave it Dr Pepper works just fine

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Well sitting here finishing my last cup of Maxwell House Dark, man I could go for another, but work is waiting.

I gues the thing I missed growing up on the farm and working in my buddys construction business all those years ago, is I just never developed a taste for biscotti's.

I never saw one guy in a hard hat, or a Broadbeck seed corn hat sipping a french vanilla latte.
God Bless America!
talk to you all later, if you have time stay for another cup. Oh and check out the USA today sports page, didn't have time to get my scores this morning..

[scrapewatcher]

mornin everybody. sittin here sippin my folgers and wishin i was off today. everybody have a nice day.

[goggleye57]

Walmart 100% arabica :):bouncy::coco: (really pretty good stuff)

[monster10rackstack]

Never had and likely never will have Starbucks.....Not really coffee drinker, its to much for their stuff, and ill stick with milk in the morning and Mountain Dew later

[sportmanst]

[goggleye57]

[stephen20]

Im Drinkin That Folgers Dark Roast And Workin To Get My Job Out So I Can Take Off A Little Early And Maybe Hit The Lake For A While!

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Wow, I found another favorite, but it might be hard to come by once its gone.. A missionary from our church brought me back some Guatemalian coffee, it's dark and rich, you only use about a third of what you do with the regular coffee.

Man is it good. I think I'll use that as my "Private stock", But I might share a cup with my fellow sportsmen/women here from time to time.

Oh, and he said it goes great with deep fried plantains?

Well good morning, enjoy your weekend!

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Morning Everyone, Coffee's brewing just getting ready to head off to church, and maybe (if the wife can over lookher "honey-do list") a little afternoon fishing on Winona Lake.
If you all get out, have a great day...

[ccavacini]

Up early...taking the neighbor fishing. Last time I showed him how to Wacky Worm fish...now he thinks I know what I'm doing.

Was going to get some minnows and pull in some pike...but they'll just have to find the plastics.

Plenty of pike in that lake of yours.....;) Sounds like fun. Just finishing the last drops of my coffee and off to the lake it will be. Trying for some perch today.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Good morning everyone,
Just finishing up my maxwell house and headed off to work, hope everyone had a great weekend.
Mine was alright, until I discovered someone had bumped into my truck messing up the paint & leaving a 16 inch scratch on the left rear fender.
Probably happened when the wife took it to walmart.

So I get to call my body man this week, and see if he can work me in.

Well, my breakfast and coffee were good anyway.
You all have a great day, we'll see you in the morning.

[goggleye57]

Too bad about the truck - what are they thinking - messing with a guys truck!:(
Drinking a pot here this am

Y'all keep my sister in law in your prayers - she had emergency surgery last night for a perforated small intestine-

[Arps]

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Good Morning Everyone,
Hope you all survived the storms last night with no damage or loss.
Getting ready to head out gonna get my coffee at work this morning (after that I'll completely appreciate the term "Mud"!) looks like the power went off during the night leaving the old brewmaster high and dry this morning.

You all have a good day, we'll catch you later on.

[Arps]

Does Red Bull and Mountain Dew qualify me for the coffee pot?

[goggleye57]

Man good luck!!! It will suck at first...and in the middle...and probably at the end :tongue:. I read recently that being in shape means doing several things every day that you don't want to do. You don't want to wake up early, or skip pizza hut, or run, or lift weights....but if you do all these things...you'll get where you're going! Good luck man. I need some coffee...

[huntnprayn]

I'll have a double shot sugar free hazel nut misto breave with extra foam.

I'd go skinny but want something a little richer today.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Good Morning Everyone,
Just to show that I'm coffee-ically diverse, this morning I'm dringing my Maxwell House French roast, from a Starbucks coffee mug.

Now I'm really surprized that our guys in Indy haven't jumped in here with a report on the Einstien Brothers Bagel company coffee. I had some of that a couple weeks ago, and I tell you what, I would go out of my way for a cup of their premium house blend...

You all have a good day, get the week started off right, and remember this Friday is the squirrel season opener.

[goggleye57]

[pitbulld45]

My daughter starts first grade in the morning. She may need a cup of coffee to get her butt going again.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Wow 1st grade... Those are some good times! I tell my daughter (a senior in college) if I could go back and freeze time it would be when she was in 3rd grade. I was Superman, the incredible OZ, Santa Claus and St. Paul all in one.
Now I'm relegated to; "see you after the movie dad..."

Well thanks for the memories, it sweetened my Maxwell house a bit....

You all have a good day now, ya hear!

[DBurris]

this forum is not as lively as friday nite bar but for us morning people it will do.
the weather is crazy, sweatshirts in august!? Im seeing more critters every day so it only makes the waiting harder. Doves in a couple weeks, shooting some local poop dropping geese and then off to canada to shoot cranes ducks and real geese. take a short break and then it will be time to put venison in the freezer and finish the year in texas blasting pigs and a few left over ducks that made it to the longhorn state.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Howdy D,
No this is the crawling out of bed before the crack of dawn to go scratch out a living thread.... But if I hit the Powerball, I'll liven it up a little, well not really cause I'd start sleeping in..

Oh well, Maxwell house French roast gone... Off to the mine..

You all have a great day!

I'm pretty much done subsidizing my 2 kids (not that I wouldn't help them if there were an emergency) Got one boat done Nice to have a few dollars for myself after 23 years of spending it on the kids!:biggrin:

I'm thinking of starting a new boat - Maybe a 19 foot deep v? Stitch and glue with a cuddy cabin? Or maybe a flat bottom houseboat - 20 foot long or so for the wife and I on a weekend?

Also thinking about going to the Philippines or Thailand to look into a tropical retirement - low - low cost of living

[IndyBassin]

Man, the ride on the motorcyle was a lil chilly this morning.

I need to rig one of those cupholders on the handlebars and run a tube so I can sip coffee on the way in. ;)

Had to be up early (04:30) to make 40+ mile round trip to take eldest son to work....so much for moving out on his own to be "his own man" ;) :biggrin:Should make him ride his skateboard home,:evilsmile a little welcome to "manhood" :evilsmile

[jstalljon]

I'll take something that will float nails please....

With squirrel season in now, early goose starting Monday, and deer right around the corner. I seem to be offly "fidgety" in bed at night now! ;)

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Little quiet around the homestead last night. With both kids away at school the dogs were looking in their rooms, and moping around like they had lost their best buddies...

Well finishing off the last of my Maxwell house and headed to work. You all have a great day!

[IndyBassin]

hmmm, White Cafe Mocha.... girly-man coffee... with double espresso

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Thursday... one more to go then a long weekend... I think I can I think I can I think I can...

[WThunter]

Late night doing fantasy football draft + early morning at work = BIG HANGOVER. I need a mountain dew combined with a Red Bull please. Have a great day.

[goggleye57]

100% columbian - still drinking it out of my Wesco cup from Manistee :)

[psychobubba]

some Cadillac coffee and spoon of sugar please.

[cjones46]

I need something blacker than the darkest night...since I started exercising again I have been sleeping like a rock...a chubby, but handsome, rock. The downside is I do not feel like waking up in the morning...ever. Give me a big glass of Charlie Murphy colored coffee please...have a good one boys!

[IndyBassin]

Days like today I sure miss the coffee from the mess hall.... that would blacken teeth.

[hoosier daddy]

Give me a big glass of Charlie Murphy colored coffee please...have a good one boys!
"... he used to call us Darkness... this was before Wesley Snipes came around."

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Thank God its FRIDAY!
Little tail-gating tonight, little fishing tomorrow, little football on the tube this weekend... does it get any better than this?
Maxwell House was good to the last drop this morning, heading to the shop hoepfully it'll be an easy day...

You all have a great day, I hope your teams all win unless they're playing mine (sorry Cary!) But then we can hope for a draw...

[goggleye57]

Back to Manistee tonight - Leave about 11:00pm after my son gets off work. You can sleep when your'e dead :biggrin:

[ccavacini]

Thank God its FRIDAY!

They've had some good games over the years. But, we have to come to your place. Check out Jordan Barnes (Linebacker). He's signed to play for Michigan next year.

Go, Spartans.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Sweet, we'll check him out.. we're rebuilding and have a lot more questions than answers right now, but at least we have the right guy back at the helm in Coach Jensen.

[IndyBassin]

Go Cardinals!

Go being the operative word here, as we have to travel from Indy southside all the way up to Anderson... on a Friday, during rush hour...

We'll probably lose again, but it's fun watching my son play :)

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Good Morning Everyone! Whew Tailgating last night, and fishing this morning...
Throwing down the last dregs of my maxwell house and off to hook up the boat.
You all have a great day!

Cary talked with a couple of your students last night, gave them some pop and offered them a hamburger... They spoke very highly of Mr. C.!

[ccavacini]

Looks like the Tigers took a chunk out of the Spartans.....reading about it, it was probably a good game to watch.

There's always next week.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Happy Wednesday Everyone...
Whew, yesterday was a pain, I hope not to repeat today!

But as the old saying goes, "sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you..."

You all have a great day!

oh btw, tried a shot of hazelnut in my maxwell house yesterday... I could see where you might be onto somethin with them gurly coffees. May have to have the "wife" or "daughter" pick up a bottle of that at walmart whilst I get my deer slugs...

That's how it starts.... then you try a little French Vanilla... maybe some Amaretto, then BAM!! right into cafe white mocha espresso!!

[ccavacini]

Heck, I just buy the Folgers Hazelnut coffee...then I don't have to add anything...Nothing wrong with flavored coffee.

If I'm not mistaken, early primative man (and Bigfoot today) flavored their coffees with whatever they had available. Today, Bigfoot drinks Jerky flavored coffee.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

My Dad has always drank his coffee cold, he brews it then puts ice in it. I remember when I was a kid we were in a fine eatery in our home town one Sunday and the waitress asked if anyone would like pie and coffee after our meal dad accepted, and then when he asked for a cup of Ice for his coffee she was almost offended. And These youngan's think Starbucks invented chilled coffee....

I agree with a little flavor in your coffee! The idea has been around for a while, that's why God invented non-dairy creamer.

[goggleye57]

I'm hard core - I like coffee flavored coffee ;)

[huntnprayn]

I like mine black too, but have no problem ordering a venti two shot skinny sugar free hazelnut misto with extra foam.

[fmj]

I like coffee flavored coffee

Amen brother...if i wanted "sweet" flavor with my caffine i would drink PEPSI!!


venti two shot skinny sugar free hazelnut misto with extra foam.


SAY WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Oh never mind......;)

[IndyBassin]

I'm hard core - I like coffee flavored coffee ;)

Heh, I was down in Loogootee this weekend at the folks house, my dad says the same thing. Says "why don't you just pour some coffee into a glass of chocolate milk?"

:16suspect

[huntnprayn]

SAY WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Oh never mind......;)
Sorry, didn't mean to throw you for a loop. :biggrin:

Kicks Maxwell House's can...........now that's punny.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Venti??? Is that the Seattle syntax for "would you like to Super Size that?"

Ok so I tried Hazelnut, but I never inhaled...

[huntnprayn]

Seriously though....

My wife....bless her heart....thinks that what she drinks is coffee.......nooooo......it's hot milk with some flavoring and a splash of coffee for technicality reasons.

The misto is 1/2 coffee 1/2 cream or 2% or in this case skim........don't laugh since I drink my coffee black and some of you have to put cream and sugar in your "Maxwell House". I also get 2 shots of espresso thrown in on top which gives it a full body flavor of COFFEE.....plus a flavoring of which I get a smidge less than what the norm is.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Good Friday Morning Everyone!
Well it's been a long four day week and I'm ready to get this one over and get started with the weekend.

Hope you all have a great day (whatever flavor you're) drinking in your coffee!

[IndyBassin]

To your call once more we rally,
Alma Mater, hear our praise;
Where the Wabash spreads its valley,
Filled with joy our voices raise.
From the skies in swelling echoes
Come the cheers that tell the tale,
Of your vic'tries and your heroes,
Hail Purdue! We sing all hail!

Chorus
Hail, hail to old Purdue!
All hail to our old gold and black!
Hail, hail to old Purdue!
Our friendship may she never lack,
Ever grateful ever true,
Thus we raise our song anew,†
Of the days we've spent with you,
All hail our own Purdue.

Wow, good monday morning everybody. hope your teams all won this weekend.

Looks like we'll be getting some more rain today, the wife says we need it, but I kinda like that nice shade of brown that the yard has become...

[goggleye57]

Good Morning! Drank some coffee - time to take a shower and head out to work

Happy Tuesday morning Everyone.... last of the Maxwell house Dark roast is down, and heading for the shop. Hop you all have a great day.

Just putting the final touches on a writing assignment for my Honors class...Pit and the Pendulum Cask of Amontillado



The Poe was a real strange dude.

[Arps]

Poe had some mental issues for sure!

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

The Tale Tale Heart is terrific..

[ccavacini]

Poe had some mental issues for sure!

Drinking too much absinthe I suspect.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Gooood Morning Everyone..... It's Hump-day, and you all know what that means.

Does anyone remember Uncle Larry, & Little Tommy from WLS Morning Zoo(approx 1976-79)? Now they made Wednesdays fun. With Animal Stories & the Like.
Maybe we need to make it an animal story Wednesday?

Well off to the shop might have to ask for a shot of Hazelnut in my Jo this morning.

[cjones46]

Drinking too much absinthe I suspect.

That stuff is flat out nasty. It's easily, far and away, the worst crap I have ever tasted. You can add as much sugar as you like...it just takes like sugary crap. But 3 shots, give or take, and I become the smartest/most talkative person on the planet (As if I needed assistance in either arena). :tongue: Make sure you have nothing to do the next day too...those hangovers are absolutely not a joke. :banghead3

And it's legal again here for those of you who are gluttons for punishment or need to get some writing done :)

[QuailDancer]

[tmarsh83]

I missed this yesterday. Well said.

Now I need some coffee...a long day of playing with accounting software that doesn't work and then, hopefully, maybe, possibly, if there's a higher power some sky carp tomorrow. I'd love for it to be a sloppy rainy mess tomorrow AM!!

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Good Soggy Monday Morning to everyone, as of last evening we've had 6 3/4 inches of rain for the weekend.

Hope you're all still afloat.

[pgw0321321]

Only an inch at my house in Johnson County, would like to seen a little more

[cjones46]

Coffee please...darker than Charlie Murphy. What a weekend. Got soaked to the marrow Saturday but got some geese killed. Then packed ALL day and watched a lil ND over the girls from Ann Arbor. I woke up at 3:45 Sat. AM and didn't go to bed until after the USC v. OSU game...and then I packed all day yesterday. I need sleep...

[IndyBassin]

Needs lots of coffee, I'm up in Obamaland (Chicago) going thru a week's worth of training on software.... ZZzzz.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Happy Wednesday Morning Everyone.
Last of the Maxwell House French roast down the gullet, and on with the rest of the day.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Good Saturday morning everyone!
Hope you all get outdoors this weekend and enjoy your favorite sporting activities.

Me, I will be guiding the wife as she tracks her prey garage sale-ing today.
but look on the bright side, some vengeful ole gal might be selling her old mans hunting or fishing gear!

[jaymac]

GOOOD MORNING!!

First cup down the hatch.

Shaping up to be a great day! Sunshine, nice temps.

I'm hanging the stand either today or tomorrow morning. I hope I get to see some activity while I'm out there as well. I'm taking the blind and getting it set up this year as well.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

Another Hump Day...
Hope you all are doing well.
Starting to see a lot of tree stands appearing in the woods just down the road from work. Looks like it should be a promising year.

If the rain holds off & the streams clear up a tad, the Steelhead & Kings should be in. Ah yes this is a sportsmans dream.

Good Luck everyone.

[IndyBassin]

7 More Days!!!

[cjones46]

College Football
NFL
MLB Playoffs and Pennant Races
Leaves changing
Temps dropping
Corn and Beans getting ran
Deer and Big fish going down!!!

This is absolutely the best time of year men. I don't see how anyone could argue otherwise :).

[IndyBassin]

yeah, my biggest decision this weekend is whether to head down to Martin Co for scouting/squirrel huntin or to head out bassfishin.

May have to do one on Sat and the other on Sunday :)

You all have a great one.

[Fuzzy Muzzy]

Sluuurp, last drop of this cup gone......pouring a bit more into the thermal mug and headed to the woods. Looks like a bit of frost in the low lying areas possibly. My Weatherbug here on the computer is showing 36 degrees. I so want to hear CRUNCH CRUNCH THWACK!!!!

Fishing boat is put away for the season....been running the dogs to get in shape for bird season...wish it would cool down a bit.

Whew, its Thursday again, throwing down the last of my Maxwell House French roast and heading off to the shop.. Evidently none of my Sporting brothers or sisters has hit the powerball, or at least they haven't "PM'd" me yet to say stay home.:cheeky-sm. I guess I'd better head on in.

Have a good one everybody.
