Happy New Year all! Thanks for following this fun little project!
Very cool coffee tumblr idea! I’ve thought about moving my Mugshot Mondays to a separate tumblr, just to keep it simple. Hmm.
Coffee swag at Urban Bean Coffee, Lyndale Avenue, Minneapolis.
Rollin’ like Karl with a Toothpick mug I got from him (THANKS!). Coffee at Beach Bum Cafe: Rusty’s Hawaiian Red Caturra from Ka‘u.
LOVE this photo!
Help! I need a new coffee mug for Monday. Any suggestions? Got a MSP coffee shop, restaurant mug you like? Got a loaner mug?
I need an super freaking awesome patriotic coffee mug for a photoshoot on Monday. Help?

There is a great mug at our coffee shop with eagles and american flags on it. And the shop is open 8am-7pm on the 4th!

Does anyone know how to drill a 3.25 inch diameter hole about 5 inches into a bowling ball?
I want to make a coffee mug out of a bowling ball.
The finger holes would be the “handle” and I would drill a hole in the right spot big enough for the coffee to go in. I suppose I’d have to cut a slice off what the new “bottom” of the bowling ball coffee mug would be, so you could set it down on the kitchen table while reading the newspaper.
I came up with the idea after posting this Mugshot Monday.
UPDATE 1: It was recommended to me via Twitter that I contact the House of Balls for advice. PERFECT. Email sent.
Update 2: Looks like I need a “highly specialized drill press” for bowling balls (sent via):

Update 3: Also via Twitter: I need a “water jet cutter”. Looks like my local hardware store will not have one of these, tho.
Unable to do a Mugshot Monday today, this is a darn good substitute! Nice illustration.

I am trying to identify the creator of a cool coffee mug I own — this is the signature on the bottom:

<something, something, , X, something, something>
<something & something>
Good grief. Artist may or may not be in the Eau Claire, Wisconsin area. (Check out the whole mug here.) Any ideas?

I ran my first race: “Gettin’ the Lead Out - 2 Mile run” in Mineral Point, WI on July 4th, 2010
This is a post-race photo of me holding the prize for winners in each age-bracket. Yes, that’s a commemorative “Gettin’ the Lead Out” Historic Run coffee mug!
My wife (Cindy) and sister (Erika) wanted to run this race on July 4th and asked me if I was interested. Maybe, I thought. And then I saw on the registration form what the winner got — I figured it was destiny for me to run this race on Sunday, win it, then post a Mugshot Monday with my new coffee mug!
I did not win. Someone named “Ben” won it. In fact, “Ben” has the Mineral Point Gettin’ the Lead Out “Best Time Ever” in the 2 mile race for the 30-39 year old group. He ran it in 10 minutes and some change. My new nemesis — I want that coffee mug. (Hey, I’m joking, yo.)
Anyway, I was really happy with my time — it was an unofficial 16 minutes 18 seconds. We had heard the 2 mile run was “hilly”, and we decided it was actually slightly less than “mountainous”. OMG. The first mile was all uphill. And it was HOT! Still, we all did really good and were happy with our efforts! It was really fun to do this with Cindy and Erika. I may try running more races.
Here’s a post-race group photo I took of me, Cindy, and Erika in front of a sweet tank that sits in Soldiers Memorial Park in Mineral Point, WI where the finish line was.

Happy Mother’s Day Breakfast in Bed Today
The three boys all helped make pancakes for mom this morning. This year, I remembered NOT to take pictures of the boys delivering the breakfast in bed to mom. As cute as it is, Mom didn’t dig that last time. This year, I decided to just take this photo.
I like how the card strapped to the present says WOW. The boys picked the items to compliment the pancakes: Coffee, Milk, Spirea Flowers, Peanut Butter, Whipped Cream, Sugar, and Syrup. I added the silverware and the napkins.
The boys did a great job and had a blast delivering the goods. MOM said it was awesome.
