The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Happy late morning y'all.
4 hours and several minutes today.
We COULD have to go up to Uncle's place to work on a grungy pressure washer.
If anyone cares I begin year 59 tomorrow.
Dinner will be Beef Tips and Rice.
Dessert will be German Chocolate cake.
And if we don't go today it could very well be tomorrow.

Working on a grungy pressure washer is not a good way to celebrates one's birth.

Buenos Dias Coffee and Non-Coffee Hosers. Today should be in the low 70's today. The sun is out early today striking a bright wedge of yellow across the front porch. Not much of a porch really, more of a cleft in the east walls for the door. Between the east walls and the drive is a planter area with a trellis above. Mary Lou has been speaking for years of making a proper porch beneath the trellis.

After Miss Maggie's walk we all will be off to Temecula for some great grub and wonderful wine.

Terrible light today, but still had fun trying AF-C mode even on flowers too.

Morning Hosers! Big day today. Princess is starting pitcher for her first High School softball game. She’s on the Freshman team. She hasn’t pitched much at all the past few years, preferring to play 2nd base or outfield so she’s pretty nervous!

Apparently they pulled the designated freshman pitcher up to the JV team yesterday, leaving Princess and one other as the only players on the freshmen team with any pitching experience.

I think she’ll do fine but her confidence is not where it should be since she didn’t know about it until late yesterday and didn’t have a lot of time to practice.

I’ll be there with my camera and will do my best not to armchair quarterback the coaching decisions! Pics later.

Good luck to you both, and look forward to seeing the photos.

Tricky lighting can add drama to photos.

somebody cut a water line

It's back on, though pressure is still way down. Just a matter of time before full service. Our HOA has a FB page, and these people are raising hell. It's pretty funny!

Happy (tomorrow) Birthday David! I love German chocolate cake, enjoy!

Yeah, there's some strange bright thing in the sky here too! lol I think it'll be nice once they stop saying a chance of flurries/wintry mix, etc. etc. Maybe by May??

Hey hosers.

It's headache time. I'm all squinty and dull.

 

[vintagesnaps]

Wind's picking up here, and I swear I do better when it's cloudy and rainy etc. than on a bright sunny day, especially when it's breezy. It's too nice out! gimme gloom and doom, that I'm used to!

Hope the headache gets better Leo.

How would we know who the local jerks are if not for Facebook community pages?

Ugh. Barometric pressure trigger?

Ugh. HOAs. LOL.

HOAs.

Old house was in a subdivision with an HOA. I realise that with many families in close proximity regulations are in order, but I can tell you that living in the country in the middle of the property is a whole lot better.

Prior to building we looked at several condos, but HOA fees were deal breakers. For $3-$6K per quarter I can do a lot of maintenance on my own property.

Yeah, there are definitely pros and cons to HOAs.

What?! Ours aren't that bad...
