The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Cook and Gary are back from our walk. We ran into Max and his human Mike, who came over for some coffee and grilled apples with ice cream. Yesterday was trimming the Silk Tree and the Persimmon tree. Today will be Apple and the west side grapes. The Japanese Beetles are back. They are so jammin' destructive. Last year they destroyed ... about 80% of the grapes, 90% of the roses and 30% of the apples. They lay their eggs in the ground and their grubs eat roots. Mary Lou and Gary are setting up traps with oranges as bait in an attempt to slow them down.

In the paper today, there is a very interesting article on the Maryland 400, "The Old Line". Way to go Maryland, kudos to Charlie and his people for saving the Revolution.

Buenas Tardes Coffee Hosers. 82F but at 57% humidity it seems warmer. Mary Lou and Gary have been busy in the yard for most of the day. Trimming the apple tree, Flowering Maple tree, grapes and planting a new Plumeria (red). All-in-all a very pleasant day, time for a glass of vino.

Morning Hosers! Beach bound today. Got to get an early start for this one as there is limited parking. Need to be on the road to pick up Sophia's friends by 8:30 and in Gloucester by 9:30 to be sure to get in. This beach is my favorite but with the parking situation we go only once or twice a summer. Breakfast will be on the beach today!

My wife and I will be up that way next week. We are spending a couple of nights in Rockport. Any suggestions or must sees for that area? We are leaving our daughter with Grandma (how scandalous ).

Gary needs to be more careful of his stemware. Looks like Gary dropped that one on the patio.

Nah ... it's just cracking up over some of Gary's jokes.

82F but at 57% humidity it seems warmer

No sympathy here, it was 95 a little while ago, with humidity mid 80's. Guess we're fortunate we had a mild spring and early summer, because it will be mid to late September before we get any significant break.

Mary Lou and Gary are taking a break feasting on snacks of backyard Flame Grapes, sweet potato chips and vino ...

It's the 57% that is unusual and sucks. Normally, Gary would expect the humidity to be in the 30's. On weekends, we spent 80-90 percent of our time in the backyard/patio, all year round, from breakfast through dinner.

We'd think a cold front had come through with 57% humidity LOL it really does make a difference on how you perceive heat or cold.

Did you hear about the photographer who asked all his friends to save their burnt out light bulbs for him???

















He wanted to set up a DARK ROOM.
