this is Lincoln. Lincoln Mercury, to be more precise. (this will not be his real name). but he’s definitely en-route.

pictured above, he’s at 27 weeks & 1 day. he’s measuring about a week ahead of his big brother.

it’s looking like he will arrive ahead of schedule also, but not as early as Justin. as of this writing, Lincoln is at 27 & 2, and we’re on (strict/at-home) day-of-bedrest 12.

a roast

in addition to a myriad of other things today,Â i was finally able to roast some coffee again. i hadn’t done it since the middle of winter, where it takes a bit longer to roast (but it cools down faster!)

i got started roasting when carrie gave me an assortment of green coffee beans and a hot air popcorn popper for my birthday. a hot air popper can be used to roast approx 3-3.5 ounces of coffee at a time. there are various guides available that go through the process.

i think i’ll continue doing this, but now that i’ve done a few pounds worth of coffee i think i need to step it up and create a rig that lets me roast more coffee at once.

water in the woods

taking a look at the snowpack melt/runoff in our woods. thankfully it runs sideways and drains into the ditch on the far edge of our property.
