I think Tom would go over 70 even with the daily driver as long as it's not broken.

Sounds like a fun bird coffee and HB meetup is brewing

I think we have hatched a fine event. TomC, hope it works out for you. Don't forget to invite the Yakster. We will save you seats.

The Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch is a great place for birders. Depending on time of year, you'll see all manner of waterfowl, including pelicans, snowy egrets, and the occasional odd duck (or roseate spoonbill!):

Mesa/Gilbert works well for me. I'll gladly go along with Michael's cafe/restaurant recommendations.

Grower of Brazilian coffees. Farm is at 4200'. First time I have visited a shop where farmer owns, roasts, and brews his own coffee.
