What's new

The Coffee House

Meanwhile, I feel like I am living in a snow globe.
That sounds lovely!

As long as you don't have to venture out of the globe, of course.
 
Pollen has started here. Won't be long till the pine trees bloom, and yellow pollen covers everything. You can't get away from it, burns the eyes, irritates the nose and sinus, and causes a lot of respiratory infections. That's when you pray for rain.
Ugh. We've been noticing those pollen pods, heavy and yellow, hanging on the pine trees. They will indeed be exploding any day now.

Fortunately, as thick and nasty as pollen is in the spring, I'm not particularly bothered by it - other than the extra porch sweeping and car washing. Dirty stuff.
 
Been snowing here since noon, just now starting to accumulate. Latest prediction is calling for 12+ inches. :(
 
Thunder, lightning, and the biggest jammin’ snow flakes I’ve ever seen in my life. The rain washed away all the pre-treatments, and the snow is sticking now. We’re in trouble.
 
Fini, Gary has finally finish cleaning the filters. The skimmer is easy, a net and some long brushes. But the pressurized filter has hundreds of these tiny little doubled walled/rimmed spoked wheels that need to be cleaned out. Fortunately only twice a year for the pressurized filter.

Still just rain for us. It's 38 here so no chance for the snow right now. The weather guessers are saying the colder air is trying to make it's way back toward the coast around 7 or 8pm.. Still have it as 11" of snow expected for us and Boston area by tomorrow morning. That's a lot of snow to fall in a short time! Lots of school closings for tomorrow in Western MA (aka the other Massachusetts).
 
Good evening, peeps. Still at work for a bit (MLW has to stick around until the Chief leaves for a meeting).

We only had rain at home. We rolled north a few miles, there was snow on the ground. It was just a dusting. but some of the jamming idiots around here still only clear what the wipers will take off the windshield. F****** lazy-a** b******s </rant>
 
When I fooled around enough and went in to get my check she asked if I wanted to come do the other side of the Marquee.
I asked if she had talked to Tony. She said no. I hope to milk a couple hours out of tomorrow. Be there at 6:30 instead of 5am.

Hadn't thought about it but back when the hormones kicked in on our only daughter, I could have been my own best customer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:allteeth:

haha. Our daughter was easy. She hated us and lived in her room. We saw her a few times and then she went away to university.
 
Gary has fired up the BBQ and waiting for the heat to come up to speed. The heat is up to 250F ... gonna wait for 300+. Meanwhile, Gary is listening to KUSC and about to pop open some vino.

Vino, BBQ and music ... this is gonna be a pleasant evening. The wine is from the Winery who sponsored a fundraiser which delivered all the profits from this wine for relief to those hit by last year’s California fires. It is quite tasty.
 
Okay, this is odd. Gary’s new car seat covers arrived today ... and they came from Greece. The packaging was in Greek, the postage is Greek and the post office lady said “Hey, you have a package from Greece.” Nothing comes from Greece ... right. Who in this forum has received a product from Greece other than olive oil?

We got a few inches of snow today. I couldn't take it anymore so I grabbed the Nikon F and street shot in a blizzard today, at lunch. Managed about 10 shots. It wasn't to bad, hopefully captured some snow shots.
