Got to page 172 and I explain it all. He has been helping in both hurricane cleanups. How much have you done? I have zero to do with him or his business other than being a customer for past 4 years.

Right...

And I have done my fair share of cleanup in my town and surrounding areas when it was ravaged by Ida. Thank you for asking though.

I don’t really care about you when a company of about 3 employees has spent the better part of two weeks out helping people in NC/SC/FL. And his ex military connections have others helping as well. No 3rd parties either.

There are a lot of elderly people in need in Florida with no one to help… … @DirtyHand77 got asked if he could somehow lower an electric bed for a wheelchair patient with no power who had been sleeping upright since the storm. Sounds like a small thing but when youre disabled it is not. He was able to do it… While I took a tree off their van and fought a few onion cutting ninjas.

Stocking Mill Coffee
@smcroasters

Lotta speed traps headed west into Tampa.

——-

So here’s a very small beef. He keeps his company small because he likes to keep his quality. I agree and have never had better coffee. At same time he loves to help people in need. So he’s been out in NC/SC/FL most of last 2 weeks. He doesn’t trust to turn over his roasting secrets to someone else. So while he’s helping people his order filling pretty much stops because he doesn’t stockpile coffee its all made to order. I think at some point he’ll need to fond some trusty hires to keep making coffee beans when he goes in help missions. Still love that he helps people in need though so its minor in the grander scheme of things.

Stocking Mill Coffee
@smcroasters

Just a note.

We are behind on orders, but we have power back and will be catching up.

A hurricane recently hit Florida and our store took a little damage and lost power for almost a week.

It was called Hurricane Milton.

Sorry about delay.

Question, if anyone has a patriotic coffee guy they would recommend to me as a backup plan in case he can’t fill my order on time. I like personal references over online company ratings.

I spent the last 4-5 days in BR. I am out of the loop on happenings here. How is the Plant City flooding? I am hearing rumors of a lot of unpublicized dead, from the coast through Polk County.

I see the NHC is back to giving every pissant group of thundershowers a name to run their numbers up

Nadine and Oscar are a joke.

Nadine maybe. Oscar has a plane in it that found a fully closed pinhole eye just 3 miles wide and hurricane winds with 989mb pressure. It has hooked up the last several hours.

This is absolutely not an attempt to belittle Milton in any way just an observation.

I took depos this T-Fr in Jax, Orlando, Tampa, and Gainesville. They were moved from the prior week for obvious reasons. I drove the loop down 95, across 4, and up 75. My view point was limited to the interstates and downtowns but I saw remarkably little damage. If I had not known there was a hurricane I wouldn't have guessed it if ask. The only thing I might have noticed was a very few fresh downed trees on my trip N on I-75. I wasn't near any tornado tracks and I know 3 million didn't lose power as a result of a strong breeze but I was still baffled.
