I don't need a heightened sense of pain than I already get working on my crapcan (s).

I need to mellow out, take it easy, be at peace.

Not to mention that if it weren't for the beer, I would never get anyone to show up and work on the car.

Re: What is your favorite coffee to drink while prepping your crapcan?

Earlier this year I went on an Air Force exercise with my unit, and some @$$hole forgot to pack the coffee pot. Luckily one of my coworkers had some Starbuck's instant coffee packets. I was surprised how good it was. I'm going to keep some in my pro-bag along side the safety gear and Ibuprofen.

They sell this brand in the commissary. I kept some on the coffee pot at MSR, and I'll probably have it hot-and-ready at ECR as well.

Re: What is your favorite coffee to drink while prepping your crapcan?

I've been drinking Wicked Joe, Big House Blend (local Brunswick, Maine roaster) at 0630 on every race day. Has to be brewed on the fender of the hauler, steeped in a french press and enjoyed from a ceramic mug. It was dang dark at NHMS in October.

For prepping, we're all about cheap, hot rodder beer from our younger days: Schlitz, PBR, Old Style. I'd drink Hamm's if I could find it. One sip and I'm 17, invincible, and dumb as a post, again.

I made the mistake of eating about 1/2 lb of these recently.  Damn near had a stroke.  But I washed, folded and put away 19 loads of laundry, so I consider it a win.

I tried the chocolate covered coffe bean- once.

It confirmed my suspicion, tastes like chocolate and coffee grounds.

they need to be chilled. When they are room temp (or worse in the summer) the beans get all gritty and stick in your mouth. If you leave them in the fridge they are much more enjoyable.

One more thing:

If you go to Dunkin Donuts and asked for a regular coffee, to them that means "Cream and Sugar".  You have to specifically ask for black.

Very infuriating

Well duh.  That is how coffee is supposed to be drunk; lots of cream, lots of sugar.  And ideally, from Dunkin Donuts.
