The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. It is wet outside. Gary thinks that wet outside is peachy. Needed to use the wipers to get to work this morning. (Granted the wipers were set to low and only needed them for half the trip and there’s not enough water to wet the pavement under a parked car ... but wet nonetheless.)

Gary has some tools. Gary was in construction for a decade or two. While Gary was in management, he always got his hands dirty helping out ... making sure the jobs were completed on schedule.

If Frank or Peg were out here. Gary would build their stuff for them pro bono and save them 20%-30%.

Would you like 1/2" drive, 3/4" drive, impact or regular chrome-moly?

Left out thin wall and 6 point or 12 point LOL

Don't have thin wall in anything over 7/8"; not sure if I have a 6pt... possibly.

And this is why I'm thankful to have a Harbor Freight about 5 minutes from my house.

(As an aside, if you didn't know...most of their hand tools have a lifetime warranty, just like that big brand at that failing department store. The only difference is that you'll pay 1/3 the price.)

There's a reason for that...

Nearest Harbor Freight is around 38 miles (or 2.5 gallons or so). We very possibly have the socket mentioned. Might be impact but probably.

Dave had 5 minutes under 5 hours today.
He sold his box of pennies to Trish and was able to buy one at the second bank in town. So an otherwise dreary life gets to look at pennies.

I will probably employ a flat rate guy from a village. My architect has worked with him. High Ethos, strong words. He says it is great to make a shouting contest with him on site, then find a solution and have a beer ... just tje kind of guy I need. In the face. Nothing behind my back. Straight. Forward!

Smoke, you had crow for Thanksgiving dinner?? bet that was tasty.

As long as there's a beer involved, Frank...

Taking a break from cybershopping. Guess that's not a word, it's still underlined in red. But I don't care, that's what I'm doing. That and a load of towels and watching Jools Holland reruns.

No shouting here on business ... Gary would just lay out your options. Gary wouldn't mind shouting at you on personal matters.

Dinner at the Diner with Leo - is that a new sitcom?

No school today, and not that it isn't quiet here anyway but it's really quiet with nary a school bus at dismissal time.

Crow is on the plate here as Bama fans get a heaping helping from Auburn fans after a disappointing loss in the Iron Bowl. Not discounting Auburn's ability, they came to play. Unfortunately Bama didn't. In Saban's words after " We weren't very good. We didn't protect very well. We didn't get open very well. The quarterback didn't read stuff very well. We didn't throw the ball and we didnt catch it very well".

Auburn played like tigers.

Not quite a new sitcom, although it was fun to meet @snowbear and his wife

The pleasure was ours, hon. We'll make sure to do this again on our next trip that way. I want to fish that wonderful reservoir, nearby.

The Kensico Dam is right down the road from the diner - literally about a minute. Don't know if you can fish off the dam, or if you'd even want to. If you're serious about that, I can see where the fishing areas are.
