It's a long story, but my coffee maker died, again. It used to be a nice one, but now it died again. We got a new one when the coffee maker was waiting for replacement the last time it broke. It was garbage. I suggested we throw it away, but the missus brought it to the Union Hall and sold it to someone at the yard sale. So, my replacement coffee maker is in a store in Farmington and I need to go buy it 'cause we got rid of our last replacement coffee maker.

There are no closer coffee makers to purchase while I wait for this coffee maker to be replaced, again.

I'm sure as shit not going to use a press for all the coffee we consume. I don't even like me enough to do all that.

So, now I've got to go into Farmington to buy a coffee maker. The last time, I sent the missus. She's not going to fall for that trick a second time. Getting a fucking coffee maker is a 2.5+ hour affair - depending on what else I might as well do, seeing as I'm already down in Farmington.

(I will probably find an excuse to stop at Tractor Supply and the Farmer's Union!)

Hmm... I wonder if any of my neighbors are going into Farmington today? I might be able to con one of 'em into picking me up a coffee maker while I wait for my coffee maker to be replaced, again.

I can't even get a good coffee maker in that time frame. The only stores in Farmington that sell coffee makers are a Walmart and Big Lots.

Also, you can't get good Mexican food, anywhere in Maine. There's no good Mexican food. I'd punch a nun for a good burrito.

They'll ship it to my PO box. That'll be at least a few days. I'd still have to go to the post office to get it.

UPS and FedEx don't come to my house anymore. FedEx always got lost and UPS got stuck when their idiot driver drove off my driveway and got stuck overnight. So, I told 'em not to deliver to me anymore and they just drop off any packages at the convenience store in town. I'd still have to go into the village and it'll still be a few days.

If you lived in a more urban area, it'd not be nearly as problematic.

Strongly suggest you set up a drone service between your place and the convenience store! Problem solved.

LOL I wanna see how well that does in the winter or one of our major storms that lasts for a few days.

Trivially related: I wish drones were something I could get into as a hobby. They look like fun.

I’ve got 2 and I almost never get time to fly them. They haven’t even come out of the boxes since I picked up this other hobby.

Think positive ... nothing will ever work if all you see are the down sides - LOL.
