Hey, thanks for the update on the hike this weekend. I was telling my brother about the trail you mentioned, and he actually ran into a lost dog up there last month. It turned out to be the park ranger’s dog, which was kind of hilarious. Anyway, it looks like the weather might hold up, so I’m going to bring that grill I told you about. Let me know what time you want to meet at the trailhead. I can probably get there by 8 if traffic isn’t too bad. Also, did you ever find that water bottle you lost last time? I think I saw one rolling under the picnic table when we were packing up. Let me know if you need me to grab extra propane for the camping stove. Should be a good day.

So I finally tried that new coffee machine in the break room. I have to say, it is incredibly strong. I poured a cup and it looked more like motor oil than coffee. I added some creamer and sugar and it was still pretty intense. Have you tried it yet? I heard someone say it uses double the normal amount of grounds per batch. No wonder everyone seems so jittery in the afternoon. Maybe I’ll stick to the regular drip brewer over in the annex. What time is the meeting rescheduled for? I saw the calendar invite got moved but I didn't check the details. I hope we finish early, I have a dentist appointment at 4. Anyway, let me know if you want to grab lunch before the meeting.
