    I have this Takeya cold brew pitcher and it works great.  My favorite grounds to use so far are the Stack Street Columbian Cold Brew from Amazon.  They need about 24 hours in the fridge.  Good advice in this thread.  I went through the same transition last year - was putting too many calories into brewed coffee via creamer.  Have been able to drink cold brew black and it is pretty tasty.  One thing you also might try is to hit the cold brew with a frother to give it some foam.  Not quite nitro, but it helps imo.

    I just so happened to get a frother for Xmas—will try.

    If y'all are current on cholera and dengue shots, I'll invite you inside my home studio/print shop.

    It's a small bedroom w/bath on the NW side of the house. Mrs. Canecutter abandoned it to me more than a decade ago and is not to blame for anything you see.

    What's got me jazzed is this large battered shelf thing that I got as a gift from a gallery. It doesn't look like much, but ohhhh... It's Fortune and Glory kids, Fortune and Glory.

    Up til now, I had table space for drying maybe $200/day of block prints. You can knock those out in a long hour, but then I was cramped and had to stop.

    This thing will hold an extra $1,200/day of production. That will be tiring, but my goblin greed is strong. I can take all my designs and do a good chunk of each, and have them all dry at the same time.

    I think it'll easily jimmy back into that space in front of the west window you see behind it, get some good beat-down warm sun on the prints. In art school I always heard about how painters craved the north light, but I suspect that had to do with expats freezing in a Paris loft while begging maMA and paPA for more money. Me I like bright colors, bright light, and heat.

    All kinds of awesome. A good drying rack is a must—same with flat files for storage. I bought a little press so going to try and work on plexi drypoints. I always choose the slow, knuckle dragging way. Thanks for sharing your business model—really informative and valuable.

  3. Coffee brew

    12 hours

    I use oat milk and maybe a little creamer. Does the job. And can get 3 pretty good size glasses out of it which for me equates to one in the morning, one in the late afternoon and one the following morning. And yes, I have two, so one is always brewing while one is emptying.

    Haven't stopped by here in a while, just too much self-shame. Once again my resolution for 2025 is to start doing some drawing/painting/sculpting, anything creating some type of visual art. I doodled for about two weeks last year before I fell off, or maybe that was 2023, I don't remember

    Maybe this is the year!

    Don’t ask yourself for permission or the right moment, just work. Time is going to pass whether debating or fully engaged. Make it a habit so it becomes part of your conscience and feels off when you’re not working and soon, it’ll be like coffee, a regular part of your day. If you start now, at the end of the year you’ll have something to look back on.   Then comes the hard part—what to do with it..

    Our lack of an effective run game is part of our problem. When you’re averaging 2.2 YPC (like we were today), pounding your head against the wall over and over and putting yourself in 2nd / 3rd & longs by staying with it unsuccessfully is not productive whatsoever. Especially when there’s evidence that Quinn played better with a straight-up pass game approach without all of the eye candy bullshit.

    Trying to run around the end was clearly not working much after the first quarter.  Run N/S period.
