We’ve got options for cooking food & heating water - a gas grill, a wood burning fireplace & a power adapter that plugs into our car’s lighter, which can run our electric kettle, griddle, crock pot, etc.

Mark
2025-01-04 13:43:47 +0000 UTCI sort of think that repeatedly leaving the sign turned to closed, even accidentally, suggests that Marten's not enjoying running a coffee shop very much.
Alex Rahr
2025-01-04 11:55:02 +0000 UTCWonder if he was waiting across the street for Mood Coffee to open. Just watching with internal panic until Liz barged in and flipped the sign.

2025-01-03 04:09:45 +0000 UTCIt took me a moment to realize what felt wrong about Marten… It’s the collar. Has he ever worn a collared shirt in a coffee house before? Or in any other non-formal situation?

2025-01-03 00:10:12 +0000 UTCThat does raise a different question: is that the reason that Pintsize couldn't travel to Canada, and does the new chassi he got from Internet Jerry mean that the ruling no longer applies?

Uniquitous
2025-01-02 22:08:09 +0000 UTCSo Marten is really launching a coffeeshop with a drip percolator and an electric kettle? Amazing.

2025-01-02 21:58:43 +0000 UTCMarten's coffee shop is a bit bare bones in its early days. Perhaps he will let the decorations and additions accumulate in a natural, organic manner. Since that's what CubeTown does.
