Shop breakfast

Met Kuan, Heidi and Garrett for breakfast this morning. Had a great time at the Mercury Cafe, owned by a women with a 300d that runs on biodiesel. Surrounded by anti-war posters and live music we discussed the vagaries of existence and the quirkiness of Mercedesshop. It was fun to connect mind with body and learn more about a fellow 'shopper.

Sorry I missed the rendezvous. Sounds like a nice crowd and meeting space.

Breakfast was great! What color is your TD again Kerry? I couldn't quite see under all that snow!

Nice. Next time it happens let me know. I've been meaning to get down there, I only live 2 miles away.

I'm at 1st and Broadway, approximately. Where are you? Kuan and I had bben e-mailing off-list about this but it didn't look like it would happen because I was supposed to be out of town. It didn't occur to me to put out a general invitation at the last minute. I should have.

I70 and Federal. PM me if you want my email address, I'd love to get involved more with this. I'm looking into making my own biodiesel, so all the Mercury Cafe goings on are of interest to me.

There's a guy down the street from me (Kerry ??? at the Human Bean company on east side of Broadway between Ellsworth and Alameda) who makes his own biodiesel from the WVO from Swift's Steakhouse. He does the chemical conversion as opposed to just using straight WVO. He has a diesel schoolbus and a truck he uses it in.

No shortage of grease at Swifts. Hey Old300d we're practically neighbors.

I've been to the Mercury Cafe but the only thing I remember is a bad hangover and that Heuvos Ranchero's almost caused my flight to emergency land later that day.

You know your eating at a good Mexican restaurant when there's a pair of oven mitts next to the toilet paper in the bathroom.
