The Coffee House

[JonA_CT]

Tucker the lab is running and squeaking in his sleep next to me on the couch. We're snuggling on our own down here tonight because momma bear went to bed right after the kids were down. She caught whatever I had last weekend, and she used all of her sick leave for the year when our son was born. I'm hoping that she'll feel a bit better with the extra couple of hours of sleep, although she'll be up to feed Jack tonight anyways.

We got maybe 2 inches of snow this morning. Since it was so cold, it was extra fluffy and I literally swept it off the porch, the walk, and the cars. It supposed to get into the low teens tonight temp wise, and we might get another inch or two of snow tomorrow evening. I honestly kind of love little dustings like this...its picturesque but doesn't prevent us from going about our business like the Nor'easters that are bound to come in January/February.

My concept album photo shoot was moved from last Sunday to Saturday this week. It'll be cold, but we'll still have a fresh coating of snow. I'm a bit nervous about the sun angle for the time we could set up. There's shade to be had, but the main planned shot was going to be in an open area.

[....carry less stuff. Nowadays so many of the things we used to haul around can be on your phone. You can have pay with your phone apps instead of credit cards, photos instead of all the pictures of the kids...really only need your license some cash and one credit card (says the hypocrite with the giant purse...)

I usually take a photo of the price tag or use the notepad on my smartphone when I’m buying bulk nails at the hardware store

I just scratch the price onto my arm with one of the nails.

Okay folks, Duke has been reunited with his humans. What an ordeal, signage created and posted, six websites updated, attempted chip reading, calls to Golden Retriever Rescue people, feeding, more walks, fights and playtime. But ... all’s well that ends well.

Rescued via Next Door.

Good deal Gary.
I need not awaken at 4am tomorrow.
The company that does the floor is doing it tonight. After today I'm off until Monday!

14*F and the sky is a cool pink color this morning that I could not accurately capture with my phone.

Glad all ended well. Lucky for pooch, that he was found by someone caring enough to take the time and make the the effort to see that he got home.

@Gary A. What is Next Door?

 

[Gary A.]

Thanks Dave & smoke665.

@ Peg: Next Door is a community/neighborhood app which connects you to others in your community/neighborhood. Check it out. I rarely look at it, but Mike (Max's human) watches it everyday for the entertainment value of alarmed people posting description of person(s) which they don't recognized. Mike is easily alarmed. Stuff for sale, real estate, services, gossip (see above), lost & found, et cetera is all there and it is localized by neighborhood(s).

@Gary A. did you by chance find out why the dog was loose in the park with no collar, tags or chips?

Our son last week found a shivering little girl outside his house in the snow. The dog had no collar or tags, but they used a similar neighborhood HOA app that found her home within a few hours. The owner had let her out in the yard, and she had wandered off when she wasn't watched.

Dave got 4 and almost 1/4 hours.
He DOES have to go into work tomorrow.
Some heath problem with the guy that does the floor so it's pushed to next Friday.
Good job Gary!
