The Coffee House

I've lost so much weight, I can literally put every pair of pants I own on with the zipper up, and buttoned. If I took my belt off, my pants would be at my ankles. Time to go to the good will. I've got 50 lbs more to go so gonna tread light on the purchases. Two pairs of dress pants, two pairs of kakis, and two pair of jeans. I'm swimming in my 3x polos too, fortunately I have a couple of 2x and xl. I've been lifting dumbbells every night while I read or watch baseball so I have little to no fat on my arms. I've shed 6.5 inches off my belly. Crazy.

Power outage at the office, our outlets and A/C are not on generator and my UPS just died. The power company's estimate for restoration has jumped from 11:00 to 4:00. It's 79F inside and going up to the 90s today. I'm going to give it an hour of staring at a blank screen the call it a day; I'll take the hit on the paycheck.

No option to work from home?

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary is back from The Cook's walk. Lately, ever since her second ear went out, she's been depressed and really starting to show/act her age. This was the first time in a week for a 'full' walk as opposed to the abbreviated strolls of just around the block or less that she's been approving. The Cook and Gary departed early to minimize the sun, as Cook, being Irish, avoids walking in bright sun like a vampire. But the sun came out and really warmed things up, making the high humidity quite ugly.

If Gary is working he ignores the weather ... but when he has options, he recognizes that heat plus humidity really sucks. (Yeah ... duh ... of course it does ... but usually we don't get the wetness we've been experiencing lately.) The weather people are calling it monsoonal moisture being swept in from the Gulf of Mexico. Must be illegal.

Good for you!

Yes but I have to wait until they say to go. They gave us all the options of telecommute or take leave; we left at 11.

The girls went to an art workshop. Very nice

Gary and Mary Lou are in the patio. Gary is working, sorta ... and Mary Lou is watching The View. She with her tea and Gary with his coffee. Gary's roast came out especially nice and today's brew tastes great.

Gary has been watching three Dragonflies zipping across the roses and the pond like a trio of P51's. Whoops, a pair are screwing in midair. Now a bright red Dragonfly is repeatedly dipping its tail into the water near the papyrus. Cool ... hopefully we get some nymphs soon.

Wife's out of town. Raided the green beans. This is what I came up with. Pretty good for a guy who is the ramen noodle king.

Cereal, peanut butter toast, and ramen noodles . . . sounds like a chopped kitchen challenge to me.

Come on over and have at it.

Gary likes ramen. He is very close to starting a ramen journey with numerous flours for the noodles. One reason for the multiple and portable inductive cookers is to realize Gary's desire for hot pots with various homemade noodles in the patio.

@ Jon: A big thumbs up on the sausage. Gary recently purchased a grinder for sausages. Maybe later this week Gary will try the grinder. Good chorizo is hard to make. Good luck.
