People are bouncing off the front door, but we've been warning them we'd be closed during this time so it's their own fault that they chose not to believe that.

If something goes horribly wrong, we won't reopen until we can do that reasonably so I'm not promising a firm re-opening time.

Shop is closed for the next half hour for water utility work. They've been getting the work done quickly with the places that are already done so they might not need the full half hour, but we're taking the full half hour for breaks.

It looks like the refund for the cancelled Miku concert went through a couple weeks ago. Now they're crowd funding a concert to stream online (all stretch goals hit within about half a week) but that's going to be free for whoever wants to show up to watch it.

Between the two orders, it's a bit under 1,200 pounds of coffee on the way.

2nd coffee order for the day is more of a couple things that we were going to run out of mid-December. That's probably my last coffee order for the year (unless sales greatly exceed expectations).

I doubt she's writing notes on all the orders, but I've purchased coffee from her and we've worked on projects together so I think she just happened to recognize that the order came from someone she knows.

Ordered our next limited edition coffee that we should have available some time next week. It's an unusually processed mix of Typica and Yellow Caturra coffee from Peru.

I bought a copy of Phyllis Johnson's new book, _The Triumph: Black Brazilians in Coffee_ and she included a nice little hand written note on the packing slip.

The cat has requested belly rubs.

Updated the shop's web site with upcoming deviations from normal hours. We're closed Thanksgiving (Nov. 26) like always and and this upcoming Thursday we're taking a half hour that's a bit ambiguous as to exactly when that's going to be because it'll coincide with water utility work being done in the area.

Once my box escaped from Germany it arrived very quickly, so now I have a new musical thingy to play around with.

Tried a production test batch of the latest decaf Brazil as a medium roast today (it's been our used for our decaf French Roast for a while now) and that was good so it's available in store and online now.

I've been putting off the grocery run for a while now (meals have been a little creative), but the cat needs supplies so I can't put that off any longer.

Punk rejects this morning and substitutes a nap.

If it were any other Star Trek series, you would have never seen that cat again.

I feel like Chester is under-appreciated in the Deep Space 9 fandom.

If the 2nd half of the month is half as good as the 1st half of the month, November will end up as the best month yet for online sales at the shop. Some day I'd like to be able to put some more time into further enhancements as I put that together as just the minimum I could safely and securely do just to see if anybody would use it. Now that I know people will, there are several areas where that can be improved.
