The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

All right people! I know it's Monday but the coffee house thread fell to Paige 2! What????

Morning Hosers! Hope you have a great week.

I've given up coffee.

You and Mary Lou.

Finished out my day on a good note. I actually accomplished something. Moved several tons of rock in preparation for finally paving our drive. Always enjoy operating equipment. Now it's time to relax and enjoy one of my favorite local brews.

OK. That was long enough.

Buenas Tardes Coffee Hosers. Gary has been as busy as a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. Very little Marine Layer this morning, consequently it was hot and getting hotter. We're heading into a heat fest. August has been near perfect ... but now August is pulling out the rug from all of us in SoCal. Yesterday Gary grilled up a lovely dinner. Gary has heard of a "wonderful" fish market in Fullerton, Drydock, which supplies many many restaurants in the area. Gary expected Drydock to be this edifice like structure, huge walk-in freezers with oil-skinned clad and rubber-booted fishermen hauling fish and nets in and out of a frozen warehouse. The public section was smaller than a 7-11, there were only three parking spaces in from of the store ... one glassed in display case and one multi-doored wall freezer. Gary and Mike walked out with some Alaska Halibut and eight huge ... the size of small apples, huge ... scallops. Gary seasoned and wrapped the scallops with bacon and marinated the fish in Gary's secret citrus marinade, fired up the Kamado, added some Chicken Fettuccine, a fresh kale and apple salad, corn on the cob ... topped off with some tasty vino ... it was a memorable meal. It was soooooo good ...

I prefer not mixing the two.

LA County has sent some Swift Water Rescue Teams and equipment to Houston.

I hope the Mark Rothko Chapel wasn't damaged in the storm there in Houston. I know there are more important things but man, that place left a mark on me. If you love art and ever there, you have to see it.

Well, traveling the rest of the week in the state of Ohio, won't be home until Friday. Getting ready to hit the road at 5:30 am. More coffee, thermos to go I reckon.

I think Fairfax County, VA and Montgomery County, MD also have crews also on the way - both are FEMA response teams. I took a basic GIS course for this program. I found I really need to get a lot faster before I even think about participating.

This is a crowdsourced story map put together by NAPSG (National Alliance for Public Safety GIS) of the damage from Harvey.

There were rescue teams from here too that went down there I saw on both Cincy and Dayton news maybe Sat. or Sun.

What exciting places in Ohio are you going to JC? If you find any... lol

My hip aches so bad today, did yesterday too although it eased up as the day went on but two days in a row of waking up with cramps and just couldn't get comfortable. Kinda forgot after the stroke I had this like every damn night! lol I hope it's the damp and it eases up, maybe I'll just keep the AC on tonight and see if that helps. Or I'll just moan and groan and complain to you people!

Nothing exciting, just work. Basically, Findlay, Lima, Cleveland, Columbus. Brought a camera but not sure if I am going to do anything.
