What's new

The Coffee House

Hey, hosers.

Taxes are done. It's amazing how crazy-making even super simple returns get seem. :confused: Seriously - I own nothing, have no dependents, get the standard deduction...and it still takes a couple of hours to get through it. Thank you, HR Block online filing software!
 
We had our draft the other night. Have to say I totally made out like a bandit.
Congratulations! Here's wishing you all a very successful season!
 
August for the new baby. Almost exactly halfway there.

It was beautiful here today. We missed out on Sharon's snow on Friday/Saturday, so I was able to get out and play my first 18 holes of golf of 2017, and I think I probably got my first sunburn to as a result. It was in the mid-5os with a gentle breeze for most of the day. My golf score accurately represented my 4 months without swinging. The problem with golf, of course, isn't the bad shots you hit. It's the 7 or 8 of them that I made today that felt completely natural. The problem is that I'll continue to think I can eventually get all of my shots to feel that way.
 
A beautiful day here also. A noon-o'clock granddaughter soccer match cut the day in half. Came back gave Cook a bath, then started on the first Kamado BBQ of the year. A lot of cleaning up of spider webs, but she fired up just fine and there is a Tri-Tip cooking away to Classical USC (Go Trojans!).

We had a gorgeous day here, as well. So lovely, I left the front and back doors open to catch the breeze. That turned out to be a mistake - one of the swallows that have been sleeping on a nook in the porch swooped right in the front door.

I had to run to switch the ceiling fan off, grab the very interested cats and toss them unceremoniously into the bedroom and shut the door, and figure out the next move. Damned high ceilings made it impossible to toss a lacey old tablecloth over him. He was clinging to the top of a tall window frame. We closed all the blinds and, after about 10 frantic minutes, he headed for the light of the open back door and swooped out. That left him trapped on the screened in porch - a regular ceiling height, and we threw the tablecloth over him quickly, and freed him back to the wild. High drama! :lol:

Didn't see either of them for the rest of the afternoon - but, I just checked and he's back in usual nook, right outside the front door. :586: Love this bird!

Should have let the cats have a little fun....

@ Jon: Are you/your son registered anywhere?

Chester is the house dog. Cook and Chester had a good time being dogs. Then Chester headed out hitting all the tables looking for a handout. Cook doesn't beg, so she came back for some more tastings.
 
Hey hosers!

You'll never ever guess what this night owl did this morning - and a Monday morning, at that!

I got up early. Let me repeat that. I.Got.Up.Early. I rode my stationary bike for 30 minutes and got a decent heart rate and sweat going the whole time. Then I went to work. I actually feel really really good right now.

This is what I'm going to try to make my regular morning routine. It happened much more easily than I'd expected this morning, but I know that there will be mornings when it will totally suck rocks. Wish me luck, hosers!
