The Coffee House

[snowbear115 46]

We went to a festival this afternoon and saw some pretty pottery. The pottery is made about 10 minutes from the fairgrounds, so we dropped by. They have an older cat and two rescue kittens. The kittens (as one would expect) like to play. Unfortunately, they like to play with the clay pieces before they are fired. This has resulted in their being banished from the shop, until they get a little older.

my architect sent a first rendering of the kitchen / living room in the first floor. I love it ... minus the wall decoration. building block optics is not my thing

From the image, it appears that the house will be primarily masonry. Is that common practice there???

There are at least two aspects to this:

2) concrete and masonry sell better than wooden or cardboard constructions, although modern materials and construction software allow for these constructions to fulfill al building regulation requirenments. Cardboard is esp. energy efficient. But buyers follow their gut feeling and stone-in-stone is their favourite

1) Energy conservation efforts have led to new materials that allow to set stone-on-stone and still fulfil the energetic requirements...

Dave saw the wizard. Got almost a minute under 6 hours. Went to the second bank (not even sure if they have another branch anywhere) meaning to get 20 rolls of pennies traded out. When she came back with those I asked about a box. She was gone a while and brought me a sealed box.
Checked a few rolls and they are mixed and NOT all 2017 like the last box.
This is a good thing. Dave likes!

Really wanted to see Bruno Mars when he was here a few months ago but it sold out in seconds and scalp prices were crazy.

Right ... Mary Lou briefly discussed that seats worse than our seats were going for $900+ on Stubhub.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary is back after his Monday morning tour of CSULA. Gary really enjoys being on a campus, any campus ... sorta like a crowded marketplace of a foreign country ... so much activity and life going on.

Dave has never been to a university.
Rather explains why he doesn't make lots of money. No, it doesn't. It's all in Daves head.

I just dropped some spinach and 6 cloves of sliced garlic into my nearly done lemon orzo soup.

Do you ever find much good in your rolls? I always got ticked off tellers/managers when I would return coins I searched lol.

Mandarin Orange Sorbet it is.

Just had two clementines and a yogurt for dinner. Diet time!

What???? Cardboard????? Here in the US, home construction is pretty much conventional wood stud construction, with siding or brick on the outside.

Getting ready for the holidays, are we? Completely understand - I've been counting calories using an app for several weeks now. Geez, I've lost 17 pounds that I didn't know I needed to lose.

I always wanted to give this a try...
