The Coffee House

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.

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...

So he's trying to send a dummy of himself back to the future?? They're gonna need plutonium and banana peels.


Didn't he just send one up that, um, crashed? came back down? That to me doesn't exactly bode well. I'm glad I'm far away from where he's launching stuff.

Once it’s up, it can go a lot of places. I remember the “Skylab” pools that folks were putting money on, when that puppy decided to fall back to Earth.

Gary was assigned to shoot 'art' for a Skylab crashing into the Earth story. lol

I wouldn't usually post before work.
But somehow I just had to.
I have to think that the stuff we can't see would blow our minds. This Spacex stuff is for the masses.

Hey hosers!

Been all caught up in a bunch of stuff these days. No snow day yesterday Traffic was delightfully sparse while driving in. It started snowing literally the minute I pulled into a parking space at work. It snowed until noon or so, then turned into freezing rain, which put a layer of crunch on top of the inch or two of snow. It thankfully warmed up to about 3-36F for the commute home, so it was just plain rain.

This morning, roads were starting to dry, but some still were wet and heavily salted to prevent them from becoming sheets of ice, since the high is only 29F today. It's sunny, though, so hopefully the roads will dry out just in time for the snow expected tomorrow!

(Meh, just checked. Little or no accumulation.)

We got a storm coming tonight, 8-12" starting at 9:00PM. Bring it, I'm ready.

Twas a bit over 4.25 hours today. I clocked out for a break for approximately 13 minutes and clocked out for good at roughly 9:33. Nothing earth shattering else to report. I still believe there are things we would hardly believe that we haven't seen yet.

Snowed here yesterday, but not a bad clean up, even my street is clean and the driveway's starting to melt (the snow is, not the actual driveway!). Not too bad when the temps don't go way below normal and we get a snowpack, I'm so done with that this winter. JC you're just too close to a lake, better move south! lol

Another perfect day ... a Glorious day actually. Mary Lou and Gary are relaxing in the recliners and sipping some Pinot Noir from the Santa Rita Hills and watching the Olympics. Miss Maggie is amazing, crazy but amazing. She plays amazingly hard ...insanely hard. She’s running and crashing and wrestling with a pack of dogs three times her size ... and she gives no quarter. In fact, she is probably the alpha dog in the pack. LOL! The play pack grew today and now there are five, three Golden Retrievers, a Lab and a Wheaten Terrier. There is also a Standard Poodle and a Boxer but they weren’t here today. There is a concrete creek with about six inches of water with a bloom of long stringy algae. Today the dogs had a ton of fun tearing up and down the creek ... ripping up the algae and attempting to splash all the water out of the creek. The dogs were allowed, just to be dogs, for about 40+ minutes. It was a pleasure to watch the dogs having so much fun, running and jumping and splashing.

LOL ... Gary just received a shipment of wine. He set the box down by the fridge and went back to sipping his Pinot and watching Tv. Maggie, inspected the box ... then throughly sniffed the box ... then set about to completely open the package for Gary. She has chewed the box into pieces, liberating the contents.
