The Coffee House

One of the hinge brackets on the grill I put up yesterday had the hole in the wrong place. I cobbed it up with a smaller bolt.
Trish is going to decide how much to discount it for being cobbed up.
5 and roughly a half today. 30 even for the week.

Did I tell you all that there was no softball game yesterday? Sigh. Although the rain had stopped by morning and it was a top 10 gorgeous day yesterday, the 1-2 inches that came down the previous night did a number on the opposing team's field and they had to postpone the game. So much for all my rearranging of my schedule and work obligations to get to the game! Not to mention getting up early to braid Princess's hair in her usual softball do... all for naught! Instead we got a late lunch when Princess got out of school and then went down to the park to work on her pitching and play with the dog. It was a fun afternoon and I have the sunburn and sore muscles to prove it!

Hosers, there's curling on in the middle of the afternoon, World Mixed Doubles. I thought curling was done for the season but I'll take it.

The IIHF Under 18s (international) hockey tournament is going on, next game for the USA is Saturday morning. Canada surprisingly already got eliminated, but all they've shown have been Team USA games (I'm lucky they show any of it!).

There are a couple of former local college players still in the playoffs with the Bs, they may have been up and down from the P Bruins but at least one of them was playing last round. Other than that I'm not that into Boston because they are the teams we love to hate - BU, BC, pretty much anybody in Hockey East... lol (although I do enjoy watching the Beanpot). I'd be just as glad to see them win the Cup as much as anybody that's left (although I have to say Vegas is entertaining to watch and we have a former player there too). Hockey's a small world, we have former players everywhere.

Sox lost...Pomeranz left 3 changeups out over the plate that got killed and that’s the difference in the game.

Great seats though, and it sounds like I’ll be back up in June. You were right, Sharon...the rays tickets were the row behind us.

Morning all, very dark and grey out and damp. Over to mums today so will be great to see and help her, so a day of rest from photo taking.

davidharmier60 · Apr 28, 2018

Kinda wish I could go back to bed. But I must go in approximately 20 minutes.

Afternoon all, just got back from mums after having a great day. Did a shop and clean for her then made us lunch. Still very grey here but mild.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Mary Lou and Gary will be heading northeast to San Bernardino. A little trip to CSUSB Latino Book Fair. Gary has donated ten cases of books to be given to the local populous. We're looking at 74F today ... so another pleasant day.

Happy weekend, hosers!

@Gary A. , I'm not ready to purge my books yet. A few went to the local library when we moved, but the rest get lugged around like pets. They go where I go! :lol:

It's annual planting time today, hosers! :boogie:

Not exactly sure about today's hours but 5.13 or so seems about right. 35.something for the week.
Should be a VERY nice check.
Built a large and a small Old Smokey grill.
Much easier and quicker than those others.
Post Office, the box at the front of the neighborhood and then home.

Is it gray and cloudy everywhere? Even Dave across the pond said it was the same for him too.

Team USA won and are playing for the gold Sunday in the World U18s. I'm half watching some lacrosse (and wondering how Notre Dame ended up Big Ten for hockey and ACC for lacrosse...?). This game's in OT and is never going to end if somebody doesn't score! Once they do I'm going back to hockey. Going to a 2nd OT...

Not here, sunny and warm, for the next week. High was 78 with a nice breeze, same for the next several days. We spent most of yesterday and today, cleaning beds, and spreading bark, planted the new bed that I built a couple weeks ago. Think I'm done with retaining walls and beds, getting to old to stack the blocks. Reseeded a section of side yard with centipede. Will see how that goes, I've never had much luck with starting from seed. Usually I do better sprigging or laying sod, but I didn't have the time on this.

Gary has had exceptional good luck hydroseeding.
