The best coffee maker ever…

Last week, our coffee pot died.  Now this wasn’t just any old coffee pot, but a 17 1/2 year old drip coffee pot.  Back in 1992, my wife and I were spending our “Foley’s Bucks” from our wedding and we needed a coffee pot.  Should we buy the Braun or Krups, German made ones for $150 or so.  No, let’s just buy the West Bend Quik Drip for $35.  We did.  We made coffee almost every day.  Seventeen plus years, wow.  Seems like my dad and in-laws buy a new pot every couple years or so.  Pretty good use of $35; $2 a year.

RIP West Bend Quik Drip 1992-2009

aponly.what?

Okay, so what is aponly.com?  A joke perhaps, my handle online for sure.  Bill and I were discussing one day, perhaps we were out somewhere and there was an “Employees Only” door in the corner, or maybe it was “Authorized Personnel Only.”  We started thinking, if your name was Employees (or Authorized Personnel) then you could go through that door.  Well, Authorized Personnel ONLY was shortened to a p only, and then aponly.  There you have it, nonsense.
