The Coffee House

Square Peg,
The most hours I've gotten yet is 33.
28ish is more likely.
But I work 6 days a week.
They want someone to spot mop and clean the bathrooms and whatever on Sunday.
I could volunteer to do Sunday. It starts at 6:30 rather than 5am.

Again I don't think anyone will do it for only two days a week I guess I'll bounce the me do Sunday idea off her tomorrow.

The weather has been gloriously perfect. Gary ran into a couple from upstate NY while sipping wine. They fell in love with Maggie and we discussed the power loss in NY. Last night after dinner we ran into a group of tourists while strolling Solvang. Maggie performed for them, shaking, sitting, rolling over, dancing and giving kisses with a young girl. It was a group of six and they all had their phones out taking videos. Gary suspects that the video has gone viral by now.

@Gary A. Last week in MO, we found a nice dog park. When we arrived there were two or three in the small dog side and none on the large dog side. Sadie was having so much fun chasing and retrieving her ball that one of the patrons on the other side asked if we minded if her little dog (Ollie a dachshund/mutt mix) came over because the others on his side wouldn't play with him. Ollie was a hoot, a furball of energy who had no idea of how to play ball but he would chase after Sadie as she ran the ball down as fast as his little legs could carry him with the equivalent of a doggie grin from ear to ear. With the heat it didn't take to long to wear them down till they both crashed in the shade, side by side, as new best friends.

So my X-T2 will be here today, but I won't have any lenses until tomorrow at the earliest. Boo hiss.

Otherwise, today and this weekend are looking pretty solid. Little bit of sun and a nice bit of ocean breeze, so I got a little bit of salt in the first breath outside. It's one of my favorite things about living where I do. After work, I'm hitting the driving range, and then making dinner for my kids. Afterwards, my wife and I are going to hit a restaurant we've been meaning to try in Niantic, and we'll might take an evening stroll on the beach.

First thing tomorrow, I'm hitting up my mom's Garden Club plant sale. I need to figure out what's going in the garden this year...I tried to do too much last year, so I'm thinking I'm going to keep it simple. Maybe some tomatoes, some squash, some cucumbers, and some peas. I'm meeting up with my former colleague to play golf, and then my wife's best friend and husband will be over for dinner. Going to be a busy day.

Been many years since I played golf, now I'm so stiff I don't know if could even swing a club. I've also played under some less than ideal conditions, but these guys beat anything I ever did.

Forgot about this one. In 2013 there was a large fire in Pigeon Forge, TN that destroyed one of the ugly condo complexes on the side of a mountain. They were using a helicopter to transport water from area lakes. Do you get a mulligan for prop wash????

Welcome to the bright side. Hit em straight. Make another baby.

Haven't played golf in almost 16 years. Used to play every Sunday with my ex and his dad. One Sunday I was about to tee off and realized that my pregnant belly was now in the way of my swing. That was September of 2002. Had Princess the following January and have not had time to play golf since. Who has 4-5 hours free on a weekend when they have little kids? (Oh yeah...dads do!) There just always was something else that needed doing. Now that I probably could make the time, I'm just not interested enough to get back into it. If I have a couple of hours free on a weekend these days, I'm heading out with my camera somewhere or taking a hike with the dog.

Never was too interested in the game itself, either playing or watching. I've gone a few rounds, and actually wasn't too bad, but yuck! Agree with SharonCat that there are so many other compelling things to do.

But, to each his own, right?

Happy Friday, hosers! Still overcast and drizzling, keeping the temps down and the garden lush.

I used to love golf. Especially all the lovely walks through the woods with the squirrels and the birds. Very peaceful.

I have the same problem with my belly but I'm not pregnant.
