Coffee time....I never had a cup until I was 35.....first cup felt like cocaine and had me so amped I was kinda scared. Now the warm, soothing black liquid is like an old friend greeting me for breakfast every morning!!🤗🤗😋😋

I was 16yrs old, working on the R/R unloading steel.
Parked for lunch along the mainline in the desert area of BC.
The temp. that fine winter's day was -24F then with a strong breeze (might as well say it was a wind)

The cooks always prepared a thermos of hot chocolate for me instead of coffee.
Grabbed the thermos-poured a cup-this black hot liquid appeared in the cup.
2 sugars/cream and an addiction is well played still almost 50 yrs later.
This nectar has been taken pure black for the past 18yrs.

I never tasted anything so warming that morning, standing there with a dozen others freezing.
One grows up quick throwing frozen steel tie plates that weighed 23.5 lbs each all day.
The pay kept us going @ $2.833 per hour:laughing7:
 

I will even drink cold coffee through a straw if need be.

Oh wait... that is actually a drink now.... hmmm

Ok then.....

I will drink coffee that has been left on all day and burnt down to a semi paste... nothing a little milk cant bring back to life.

Ok ok..... I will drink coffee that was made yesterday and a new batch made on top of that.

Errrr..... alright....... ok ok.....

I will drink coffeee that......... ehhh screw it.......

I will just snort a line of chopped up coffee beans.

Ehhhh too extreme....... ok ok........ hmmm........

Then...... A HUGE Instant coffee pinch inside BOTH my cheeks (gums not the lower cheeks) and a spit cup.... ....ehhhh ?

Um...... yehhhhh

A few years back I went pronghorn hunting in a very remote area of northern Nevada. Packed up my camp trailer and headed out there early so I could scout a few hours the eve of opening day. Excitedly rose on OD only to realize I forgot the coffee! :BangHead:
Looking in the grounds basket of the coffee pot I discovered that I didn't clean it after the last pot the previous year.
Oh, yes I did! It was waaay better than nothing. :coffee2:

The last (?) fishing trip to Canada we stopped at a Canadian tire on our way to the hinterlands.
Why I'm not sure . Perhaps a check for Williams Wablers.
Ice out was the prior week maybe. Winters slow reluctant departure a certainty though.

Where ever the store was located must factor , (not much around). But I was greeted almost too cheerfully by at least a couple locals , and grinned at by more.
Guys loitering about the parking lot en masse drinking coffee and celebrating the weather like recently sprung inmates.
Which they were in a way.
Still wearing winter boots mostly.

I heard quite a protesting admonishment/blue noise stirring of dust in the cabin one night during a card game.
An old timer getting too deep into a wager had put down a Canadian tire coupon from his wallet he had received in his change at a store thinking (or at least claiming) he thought is was Canadian currency!
