Road trips and renovations are exciting, expensive, fun, scary and filled with unknowns. This week on Have Coffee Will Travel, Shawn and Leah are chatting about a recent adventure, and an upcoming project. Also included is some television talk, thoughts about coffee and the regular Etsy feature.

According to AI: A road trip is a long journey, typically recreational, undertaken by car. It often involves exploring new places, enjoying the freedom of the open road, and can be planned or spontaneous. The term can also refer to trips by sports teams or business professionals to play away games or attend events. Road trips can be meticulously planned or involve a more relaxed, spontaneous approach, allowing for detours and unexpected discoveries. In essence, a road trip is an adventure on wheels, a chance to embrace the journey itself and the experiences along the way.

Our recent road trip was a necessary adventure to attend a funeral. Leah’s uncle passed away late last year, and because of the season, it was decided to have the funeral in July. This would allow for a more comfortable experience (weather-wise). And it would allow more time for people to make plans to attend the event. We headed out early Friday morning, and we returned late Monday afternoon. The weekend was spent with family. Both Leah and Shawn have family in the area. There was also a small amount of time to go to Ikea and the Vaughn Mall. Although we didn’t spend much money, the browsing was fun.

Just before we left on our trip, our dishwasher decided it was done. Water was leaking everywhere. We attempted to fix it. Pulling it out of the cabinet and unhooking all the electrical and plumbing, we took a good look. After fixing it, we put everything back together. Did our repairs work? No. They did not. Now the idea is to save for and plan a complete kitchen renovation. Leah already bought the new sink. Although this will take some planning, the ideas are all in place. Wish us luck!

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and The Gilded Age are back on television. We are excited in our own ways!

Besides road trips and renovations, we tell you all about the last few weeks in our Etsy shops.

On this episode of Earth Station Boo, we dig into Cynthia Pelayo’s Vanishing Daughters and how it twists the darker classic Sleeping Beauty tale and the more  unsettling reality of true crime. We explore how grief shapes Brier Rose Thorn’s world, how the city of Chicago becomes more than just a backdrop, and the role urban legends play in the story’s eerie atmosphere.

We also dive into the novel’s take on violence against women, how it reflects real-world fears, and what Pelayo is saying through her blend of horror, mystery, and true crime. This one sparked a deep discussion. Tune in and see where we landed on this tale of grief and horror.

Flopcast episode 689! After ten long silly weeks, we’ve arrived at the end of our 1980s-themed episodes. And 1989 was a huge year at the movies, so we thought we’d play one more round of our Movie Recasting Movie Character Movie Game. That means we’re pulling characters from randomly-selected 1989 movies, and then inserting them into other movies. This usually results in much weirder movies. (Speaking of weird, a certain comedy musician starred in a 1989 movie…) Who gets to play this time? Batman? Indiana Jones? A Ghostbuster? A Heather or two? Harry and/or Sally? So many possibilities. And to help us sort it all out, please welcome returning Flopcast guest Blasted Bill! 1989 was a big year for Bill, and not just because he is constantly mistaken for Young Einstein.

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 9 “Singularity,” but only Bill has actually watched the episode. It’s the Enterprise version of a three body problem as mysterious radiation coming from a black hole causes the crew to start taking their jobs seriously. Too seriously, in fact, as Hoshi obsesses over a recipe, Trip obsesses over fixing a chair, and Phlox obsesses over cutting Travis’s skull open. Can T’Pol convince the crew to, you know, lighten up a bit before they’re all dead? 

We also had a special guest joining us this week, the Noisy Astronomer themself, Nicole Gugliucci.

Here’s an actual photo of what a black hole looks like!
