The Coffee House

[JonA_CT]

We had a tall set of bookshelves bow out in the middle which caused a small catastrophe today.

My wife called the “bare wood” store about a set of the same size. They wanted $600 for a 78” by 36” bookshelf. Unfinished.

So I took an impromptu trip to IKEA. I hate impromptu trips to IKEA. I also hate the activities that follow impromptu trips to IKEA.

I put together a whole bedroom set from there. Took 2 days and my back was killing me after! Sturdy stuff though and can’t beat the price.

Yeah, I have a dresser from there that took a while to put together, but is holding up extremely well. I keep forgetting about them, though I might be buying some new stuff later this year and will be checking them out.

Gary and Mary Lou are having a NetFlix afternoon. It is a cool, windy 64F outside ... we're bundled up on the recliners watching "Get Out" and eating Dots.

This is hilarious because 64 with a good breeze is prime outdoor weather around here. Anything from 60-75 is my kind of day for a hike in the woods or walk on the beach or a day exploring a new place.

I'll admit ... it is easy to get soft out here. (Ask your nephew.)

That definitely fits in the “show us your curves” challenge!

It was supposed to be posted there. Not sure how I wound up in this thread.

Good morning all. I lived through another night. My bedroom dresser and chest were made by my grandfather. They will be here LONG after I'm gone.

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln how did you like the play?

It's like any other black hole: it just sucks in everything around it.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. This is the second day in a row that Gary hasn't started his day with a cup of coffee. He's been too lazy to roast a batch or search through the cupboards for "regular" coffee. Cocoa is readily available and within reach ... which has become Gary's morning beverage.

In the Los Angeles Times a wonderful spread of photos covering the Women's March. The front page photo is especially nice with City Hall in the background.

It is 48F @ 8:33 a.m. ... much too cold for hot cocoa in the patio, so Gary is indoors, reading the paper, Miss Maggie at his feet reminding him of the daily morning walks.

More yard work today and photo processing.

Ahh poor Gary. It's 74 here and sunny.

I would be depressed as hell if that were the weather today. It's January. That's wrong.

I would, however, take that as a high for July and August. Anything over 75 is pretty much hell for me.
