I’ve been using this same coffee cup every morning for 18 years. I bought it at a gift shop the first time I elk hunted in MT. I feel like it’s good luck. It’s all faded and you can’t really see the details in the picture anymore. I just can’t seem to replace it. Anyone else have a similar story to tell? IMG_3404.jpeg
 
It's not a treasured coffee cup but I've had the same wife for nearly 54 years and as a girl friend for 3 years before that. The amazing thing is she hasn't kicked me out of a moving vehicle on the interstate.
Hasn’t kicked you our of a moving vehicle YET…
 
My daughter made most of my dishes and mugs while she was in high school. This is my go to mug - the last 5 years.

Thats a very nice mug! I can relate to that more than I probably should. Once you find something that works, it’s easy to just stick with it and not look back. Habits can be comforting, especially when they make life simpler. It’s kind of similar to how people rely on il makiage reviews before settling into a routine they trust.

I got this Nalgene right before my first deployment. It has been with me to both my wars, tons of hunts, work, vacations, and a f#%king rafting trip i almost died on. It's beat up but pretty much a daily go to.
All that and the rafting trip almost got ya. Haha
 
I have these two copper mugs from a set of four. My brother has the other two.

They were my pop pops and are probably 60+ years old. They are strictly for beer. That is the rule. As my dad used to tell it, when they were kids, my aunt poured milk into one and got whooped pretty good.

Beer only still. My girls know what’s up.

My father in law drinks his coffee out of a measuring cup. He says it’s to measure his intake.
My father drank coffee out of a glass.
Apple and the tree, I guess.
I like watching my 1% swirling around in fresh coffee.
We use the brown paper filters.
No stupid weak cowboy coffee here.😉
