The Coffee House

Indeed I did get the Camera. Now I simply must get a computer. A tower would be fine as I have monitor, keyboard etc.
But it will happen when it happens.

One step at a time.

Been a long hectic day, hosers.

And now I'm at home with fingers crossed for a snow day tomorrow.

JonA_CT · Feb 6, 2018

I think I’m far enough south and east to be SOL as far as that goes tomorrow. It’s supposed to make a quick flip to rain here.

I also allowed myself to run out of green coffee beans. We are under strict rationing until the shipment I ordered today arrives, otherwise we will be hitting the Cafe Bustelo.

Today, Gary planted some tomatoes, peppers, curly parsley, purple sage and lemon thyme.

Today I planted three pieces of 3/4" pipe in the ground to fix a place the dogs got out at. But anything to eat comes from the store. And on that note since I must awaken at 4am tomorrow i wish you all a good night and a pleasant tomorrow.

Anybody watch the California rocket launch into solar orbit, a California roadster?

limr · Feb 6, 2018

Hmmm. Looking at the forecast, it looks like nothing will start until around 8-ish, and then over the course of the day, it will go from snow to freezing rain to just rain by 5pm, so it's really hard to say what my school will do.

One way or another, I will know sometime around 6am tomorrow morning.

Beauty's magic has been strong so far. We are in the maybe 3 maybe 7 zone. Will see. Kids have their monthly early release day tomorrow so here's hoping it doesn't get messy until later in the day.

Starts here about 3 - snow near Mason-Dixon line, mix to the south. The department heads have a phone conference at 4.

The side boosters landed back at the launch pad for recycling.

Damn... what's the deposit on those?????

JonA_CT · Feb 7, 2018

I don’t know about deposit, but evidently NASA didn’t have a lot of faith, haha. I just read that they required SpaceX to carry almost 300 million dollars in liability insurance.

We managed to squeak out a snow day. It’s just cold right now, with a beautiful sunrise because of the approaching storm. I’d have grabbed the camera and hit the door, but my son hasn’t been sleeping reallly, so I’m up with him and my daughter so my wife can sleep in.

This is one of the days that I would hate being the person to make the call on canceling school. It’s possible we’ll only get a coating of snow before it quickly flips to sleet and then rain.

When we visited Kennedy they had a movie on Space X and some of their previous launches/landings pretty impressive.

Cold, rainy morning here. Today was the day we switched from the Costa Rican FTO, to the Honduras FTO medium roast, that we picked up on our coffee run. It's okay, but I think I prefer the Costa Rican. This seems to be slightly more acidic, especially on the tail end. Still beats the store shelf brands by a mile.

That’s a no win job. Princess is at school. No snow day here - the district is actually pretty stingy with the snow days which pleases some and annoys others. I work at home so I prefer they go to school, lol. Currently they build in 5 snow days/year and and if they’re not used the kids get out “early” June instead of mid June. New and very controversial is what they’re calling “blizzard packs” - schoolwork that the kids are supposed to do during a snow day that will make it count as a school day. The premise is that the blizzard packs will be used and school will still get out on time. All the “the kids need snow days to play” moms are arguing with the “let’s start summer vacation as early as possible” moms. Proof that you can never please everyone. I’d like to see them use the blizzard packs only after the 5 snow days are used up...
