The Coffee House

@jcdeboever wife and I were out shopping one day in one of those big fancy malls. Went by one of those stores that had big sign up 50% off sale. Big Dummy me said "Look, do you need a new purse????" Being far smarter then me she took me in, pointed at the 50% off sign, then showed me the price tag on the first one she picked up. WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE THEY OUT OF THEIR $$%^%$$ MIND????? Now still being in shock she could have really taken advantage of me, but instead she quietly took my hand and led me out of the store. Learned a valuable lesson that day from a woman who never said a word the whole time.

You gotta shop at The Rack, or Zappo's. I confess, I bought one Coach dinky little purse on the 'bay apparently not big enough for an iphone which is why the seller was selling it. It had Snoopy on it, I had to.

How about $16 without the extra hundreds behind it?!
Coach, Bags, $50.00 And Under | Shipped Free at Zappos

I guess I don't mind as much about my wife's 2 pairs of Tieks. Not that I complain much anyways...she never shops much.

Wife is testing my good nature today.... She charged 1600 at a Coach store today in Philadelphia. We just sat down and hammered out a plan of paying off the house in two years to be debt free. Must have been someone else in the room or I was possibly slipped some LSD. I may have to wave the white flag tomorrow or buy some bourbon. Maybe both. **CK!

Yikes! What did she buy? Does it have leather seats and a sunroof?

That'd be a heckuva purse! Now if it was a really big purse that opened up into a mini car...

Maybe it was a purse with a matching wallet; that'd be worth a new D750 with lit lens.

A really big purse with a wallet full of money!

Actually have a nice Coach tote bag that I bought partly because it's big enough to fit my dslr with a lens and flash if I want to bring it somewhere "nice" and don't want to be sporting my camera backpack or my big lowepro sling bag. My view is that if the straps every break because I'm toting around 5+ lbs of gear I can bring it back to the store and they will replace it. It's also a great "personal item" for when I fly because it can hold tablet and snacks!


ETA - got it on sale at an outlet for at least 50% off original price which was still over $200.

Matching purse, wallet, and carry on bag. [emoji26]

That sounds like a fast prime and another speedlight to me!

Well, I might have to sell something in order to maintain the goals she so causally ignored. If I was by a wall right now, I would bang my head up against it hard....

Well, dinner was from the local Caribbean place ("Dat Jerk"). I had

Spoiler: Don't look, Leo

Island Chicken and a taste of Jerk pork rib with

stir fried veggies, peach iced tea and Old Bay fries. Desert was their rum cake. I just touched up the sky on a watercolor pencil sketch I did yesterday. I might post it on Sunday.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Purses ... seems Gary didn't miss much. Gary was sick over the weekend. When to Temecula on Friday and returned sick as a dog. One of those 24 hour deals, in bed Saturday. Sunday he was in recovery mode. He watched a lot of basketball. Go Warriors. His head has been in a computer all day Monday and the rest of the week. He is way behind on processing and has some deadlines. He is finally messing with the new Fuji RAW and images from the XP2 and XT2. Gary sees where and why JC does it all in-camera ... under normal lighting there's not much needed if you're careful with the metering. Unfortunately, Gary is processing theatre crap and the white balance is all over the place. But Fuji lenses and cameras are absolutely wonderful. The lenses are better than his Canon 'L' lenses. Toss a Fuji lens on a Costco Membership Card camera and you'd have a great camera. Back to the salt mine. Iridient really works well, but loads slow ... maybe more computer than Iridient.

PS- Gary has a wine corner and between the wine corner and frig he has storage for about 100 bottles. He has cases of wine stacked up in a bedroom ... if anyone wants to come over and help get rid of some of the wine ... Gary will give you a bottle as a parting gift for your participation.

I will personally fly out there and take Gary, Mary Lou and Cook out for dinner at the Restaurant of Gary's choosing (yes any place you choose) if Gary has a bottle of 1929 Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac, he wants to part with. I only have one bottle left and would really like to have one more for a special occasion.

I think I have the answer to your problem.... Do you like to gamble by chance??? Saudi Prince loses $350 millions and 5 of his wives in 6 hours at the casino

My oldest son has helped me a lot with my DYI construction projects over the years and I'm proud to say he learned a lot. Last week one of his heat pumps went out so yesterday the A/C crew was out installing a new unit. Today I received the following text and picture:

"Is this wire big enough to run my unit?"

He said he started counting as soon as he pushed send, and didn't get to five before I was on the phone calling him. Little %$#& got me good, Payback is coming for him.
