What's new

The Coffee House

Looks like it will be high 60s outside when I do the Marquee. Supposedly going to low 80s this afternoon.

Good coffee.

I’m so excited to only have an early dismissal today!

The running forecast from the NWS is for 12-18” now with 13” being their best guess. The heavy stuff won’t be until later this afternoon.

We’ve been fortunate to miss most of the power outage issues here in New London. Hopefully that continues. (And my parents told me it costs them $100+ a day to run their back up generator, so hopefully they avoid it too).
 
You have not seen me in weeks, because I was working day & night.

Real estate development, Gary knows, can be quite demanding a task.

Look at this development:

"My house in the middle of our street"
I did aquire the neighbouring lot and can now build 500 sqm instead of 300 and 6 flats instead of 3 and 3 E-Carsharing-Spots instead of 0 and lots of bike parking and space to cater to the German cult of waste separation.

"The secret back entry"
so my site looks almost like a hortus conclusus now

"The whole lot"
in all of its 270 sqm size, emptyness & beauty.

"A tad of security for my neighbours"
Wow, wow, wow ... Frank, is well on his way to be the next Donald Trump. Frank's highrise is kinda like the Phoenix, from the flames of destruction rises Frank's new building.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. 54F presently and it is projected to break 7oF in the early afternoon. A touch of rain, 65% chance of around eleven o'clock, but the big rain is due on Thursday.

Max has been here since Sunday and is still a very polite guest. Max and Maggie get along extremely well. Their evening play is for one of them to start chewing on a nylabone while the other watches from a few inches away ... then at an opportunity of distraction, the nylabone will be taken away by the other beast and gnawed away with a flourish of new ownership. Then the other beast will approach and wait for an opportunity to steal the treasure. This behavior bugs the hell out of Mary Lou and Gary as they keep tossing additional nylabones at them in order to court a sense of fair play and equality. The nasty hairy beasts will both gnaw on separate bones for a bit ... then one pooch will return to the grass-is-greener game, creep up and wait for an opening to snatch.

I had a snow day today. School called it last night. It has only just now started to really snow. I had just been flurrying for about 2 hours. But it's also supposed to be worse farther south (and my school is south of me) so I figure it will be a proper storm at some point, but just started later than predicted.
 
Good afternoon, all you lovely people!

I decided not to journey into DC for the second say of the GIS conference, but I will go to the Development part, tomorrow. Work county is closed, so I am at home with MLW & kitties.

Morning peeps. (For 19 more minutes anyway). 5.75 hours. Marquee posed no problem. Don't know how the buffer ran the full store with the gauge bottomed out.
Went and got propane.
Sold my box of pennies. Got a completely machine wrapped replacement box sealed by the Fed. Came back to the store and it's lunch time in the deli and until I get my check i can't afford lunch. So fooling around for a little while longer.

Interesting box so far nothing newer than 2014. I'm sure it will change but most 2014 back to 2012 in the first 5 rolls are very nice pennies.

The day is little more than half over and the rain has started to fall. Gary finished tossing chicken, veggies, herbs and vino into the slow cooker. The rain is supposed to be a big one and flash floods alerts have gone out to the flash flood areas and evacuation orders are being enforced in the burn areas.

Gary carbonated some apple juice and it was just like Martinelli's at a fraction of the cost.
 
Gary I would guess is a FAR FAR better man than I.

A friend/former co-worker posted a picture of her kids playing outside in the sunshine a couple of days ago. Today she posted a picture of them building a sizeable snowman. What is wrong with that picture?!!

At least it melted off the street and off my driveway, but - this is nuts! Schools here were closed. In March. The Easter Bunny must be freaking out.
