Yerba Mate.... how does it compare with the day old 55 gallon drum
flight line Base Op's coffee urns I used to guzzle out of, some 35
or so years ago.....(:+\\...  That stuff, after sitting in the urn
all day, at about 3 AM, would curl yer toes, an' make yer hair stand
on end..... (probably rotted out my stomach, too....).....(:+{{...
Nowadays, I have to soften the bilge oil bite, with a heavy dash o'
cream.  As it is, I still drink 2 pots a day, mostly, around the lab,
and another pot at home, until midnight or so.  Then, lights out.
That's how it goes when ye gets olde pfarte status.....

Hmmm, I think, for now I will stick with the battery trick....(:+}}..

I found the nvram faq, and will fire up the 'iron, tonight, coffee pot
at full steam, too.....
