| LIFE New coffee mugs

[sean]

I ordered these 2 mugs from Deneen Pottery about 2 weeks ago. These are all part of their National Parks Collection. They're handmade here in The U.S.A. they donate 10% from each sale to the corresponding national park/monument. And they're both dishwasher and microwave safe. They're either 12 or 14 oz (not all that big), but I really like them.



I liked them so much, I ordered 3 more...

Yellowstone

Death Valley

Mount Rushmore

I MAY try to get the entire collection.

Those are really nice. Getting ready to consolidate two houses as I retire, we are in a toss or give mode right now, I've probably gotten rid of a hundred beer glasses, and a reckoning is coming with our coffee cups and mugs. I'm finding room for guns, ammo, tools and camping gear, though.

Ok, pet peeve time. I hate coffee cups. I've got one insulated cup I got years ago from a Sunoco's grand opening...then switch to the Yeti.

I don't take coffee with me. I always drink it at home. So I have no need for an insulated container. And when it's in the cup/mug, it doesn't last long, anyway.

I don't either. It's not a travel mug: it's a keep it hot. 10 oz will last me anywhere from a half to a full hour. It's not a "caffeine/energy" thing.

I only take a yeti or equivalent when I'm traveling; keeps it too hot to drink around the house. I'm not an hour to drink a cup. That's three.

The coffee isn't poured a Yeti or equivalent. It's an old travel mug I picked up at the Grand Opening of a Sunoco / A+ ... geez, 10+ years ago.

When I "switch off the coffee" the cold drink ... I mix lemonade and orange juice usually once day, sometime twice. It'll be ice cold for several hours.

Yeah, caffeine doesn't affect me at all; I just like the taste. And a 10 oz mug won't last me even 15 minutes, lol. But most of mine are around 12-14 oz. So they might last closer to 20 minutes, but not by much.

To a "t," that's me.

I think I mentioned putting Keurig in my bedroom a few days ago. So damn simple in the AM...get up to take that piss, etc. and hit a button on your way. It's ready when ya get back.

FWIW, if I'm looking for that energy boost in the morning? Apples.
