The Coffee House

My wife and I went to dinner tonight on our own. It was nice to beat a decent meal without rushing fir once, haha.

It started snowing around 4:30. I think we have a fresh 1.5-2 inches on the ground. It’s still coming down but I think we are almost done for the night.

Just a dusting here. Nothing more expected here as it’s all staying south.

In an odd warped Frank way ... that is true, but only if the decision to sin was pondered prior to the commitment.

I have an impossible task this morning.
Mop the entire floor. But I don't think I can do it all before the store opens.
Oh well. I'll do the best I can.

Dave got two pairs of sneakers at Wal-Mart. One pair $10 "Athletic" brand white.
Other pair Dr. Shoals black.
Going to wear one pair one day and the other pair the next day and so on.
See if either one lasts more than the Skethers I've been wearing. I don't hold MUCH hope. But we'll see. I've been using one kind of snap to hold the pantry door closed. The clip will last 6 to 8 months and then crack. I just installed a new clip and a different setup under it. That door will sure stay closed now!

I have found RedWing shoes hold up extremely well and are a better value overall to say, buying the cheaper shoes. I drive a lot and the driving heal doesn't wear down hardly at all in the RedWings. Plus they are better on my feet and back. They definitely use a better plastic on the soles than just about everything else I have bought in the past, don't know what it is but it is extremely durable.

Sun sparkling snowy morning.

My green coffee bean order finally arrived, and I’m drinking a blend called “Polar Expresso” right now that I roasted maybe a little too light. It’s refreshing after drinking Starbucks all week though.

Good morning, peeps.

We got a little snow yesterday - dusting on the dirt and grass, wet roads with patchy slush. Morning light shows a hard frost. Temps are going to be in the 40s, so all of this will go away. My first cup was a medium roast, and now I have a light roast, both by Peet's.

I've had a "lump" growing on my back for a few years. It wasn't painful, but MLW finally convinced me have it checked out. I had it removed yesterday so I'm on light duty this weekend. During the initial consultation with the GP, I found out I've joined the popular T2 Diabetic club. Nothing like ending the year with a bang!

In other news, I got the Secret Santa print from the lab, yesterday. I wanted to see it before I shipped it out, and I'm happy with it. That will get sent out today, once we are all in gear. I received mine a couple days ago, so I'll post it in the thread in a little bit.

We're watching and drooling over some holiday seafood by Giada (crab meat fettuccine, mini lobster rolls, roasted red snapper). It looks like a trip to the seafood and Italian markets are in order. We're going Annapolis on Friday to see the Budweiser Clydesdales, so we can hit the wharf, afterward.

Oooo - Polar! Light is fine - the caffeine is elevated.

As one would expect, construction is hard on boots, especially demo guys/gals. There were two thoughts by demo guys on boots. Expensive boots which last about a year or cheap boots three times a year. In either case, the annual footwear costs were about the same (Three pairs of cheap equals one pair of expensive.)

Ohhh man ... Starbucks all week will cut into your purgatory time for that sinning. Drinking Starbucks is nothing short of wicked penance.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. 54F presently but should hit the upper 60's today. Time to break out the winter clothes.

This morning is Maggie's last day school day. She will miss romping with her schoolmates. She gets tested today ... one of those standard tests where she fills in the bubbles. Gary is taking extra #2 pencils for her.

Hot cocoa this morning for Gary, but Gary is switching to coffee.

Dave got a bit over 4.25 hours today (that he wasn't supposed to work).
Going home to get Sister(And probably Dad) and go to Cleveland to get two recliners.

Mmmmmm, wicked penance.

I don't like light roasts. Whenever I get around to doing my own, it will probably end up tasting like Starbucks or Peet's anyway.

@Gary A. passing positive thoughts to Maggie!!
