The Coffee House

Oh dear it's raining again. Should get called to empty a bucket before too long.

Buenas Noches Coffee Hosers. Mary Lou and Gary spent most of the day running errands. We stopped at the iPhone repair store and Gary replaced his broken glass ... again. Next he filled up then sped off to ‘Savers’ a thrift store. Gary can’t remember the last time he was in a thrift store. This place was huge, probably a former supermarket. We picked up toys for Miss Maggie. A bag of golf balls, Titleist and Strada, bags of stuff toys and a stuff toy bowling set. We discovered a new eatery, Ortega’s Fish and Grill. This was Taco Tuesday, a buck 49 for these fabulous tacos. Gary had a fish, crispy shrimp and carnitas tacos and he shall return. Two taco lunches for Mary Lou and Gary cost ten bucks including a 25% tip. Then a cross town trip ... actually across three different towns to Pier 1 for a wine glass to replace the glass Gary broke. Stops at a couple of pet stores for Maggie’s “Digestables”. Then home and Mary Lou began clipping foliage, clearing a path for the hot tub and Gary started moving dirt and backfilling the newly poured slab.

Maggie is sooo funny. She has an open toy box whose contents were diminishing as her toys were slowly being chewed up or lost. We dumped her new toys into the toy box. After a bit Maggie started exploring her box and started pulling out just the new stuff. She carefully pulled off all the tags and one by one closely examined each new item. She has presently removed the cover off a golf ball and the rubber bands are all independently popping. Maggie has backed off and watching the inner ball move and hop around on its own power as the band snaps. All very entertaining for Maggie, Mary Lou and Gary.

Good morning, hosers!

Happy Category 4 Hurricane Michael Day!

No worries here, I'm on the line of the "cone of uncertainty." Yeah!

Better here than the Florida panhandle, though. This thing has exploded and is just getting started.

Yup we've been watching it as well, if it continues on the projected path it will pass southeast of us.

It's one scary mutha atm. A little wobble here or there could impact us a lot. It's tracking further north than it was yesterday, I think.

I’ve been out of the loop on the hurricane. Will have to check the path to see if my FL family is in the line. They’re on west coast north of Tampa in Hernandez Beach right on the water - one of those inlets off of the gulf.

Maggie’s Mulligan and a tuff off stuffed toy hair from last night.

@Gary A. I'm sure you're aware of it, but as a reminder, there are significant dangers to a dog that eats/swallows string, rubber bands, etc., when they create an intestinal blockage. Seems like some are more susceptible then others. Our Boxer took a liking to the green plastic grass in our granddaughters Easter basket. Other then having to manually pull out the strings left hanging when she went out, she suffered no apparent harm. Our daughters dog on the other hand, tore up a couch pillow, swallowing a few strands, that caused immediate blockage. Emergency surgery was required to remove.

Thanks for the heads up, but she does not eat/swallow/consume any of the rubber bands. That ball will weight the same before and after Maggie's Mulligan.

Webster shitted out a putter over the weekend

 

[smoke665]

@jcdeboever They say that dogs are a reflection of their masters, so it's no wonder that Webster is a rounder. LOL

Better part of 6 hours. That buffer is a physical beast. Wants to veer off to the left. Buffs like mad however. Having chicken tenders and gravy at the deli. Since it's almost an hour to get check probably will hit the Post office.

Easy to get out of the loop, since it blew up so fast and caught quite a few folks off guard. Hope everyone in your family is safe. My sister is about an hour inland from Tampa and has no concerns about this one. Lots of rain, some wind, but nothing like last year.

 

[vintagesnaps]

Terri I heard them talking about it going into Georgia, hope everyone there stays safe.

We're getting an aerohub, whatever that will be, along one of the busier bottlenecks during am & pm drive time. I wasn't really paying attention and looked up at the graphics and it looks like they're planning to land airplanes on the interstate... well, that could work, people wouldn't have to drive, just fly over and parachute in to work! lol

And another good reason to be retired...

Today was having to deal with verfying online that no, I don't work and yes, I'm now retired (no **** jack, what do they think they send me a payment each month for??!). Dumb thing kept shutting down and if you don't get online to verify this, you lose your insurance. It's done but it ain't over, going to find a way to provide um, 'feedback' on apparently 'everybody' having problems with this not working - and keeping your insurance depending on it. Just checked my mom's to make sure hers isn't involved in this stupidity (it isn't, hers is for retired school employees, mine is for teachers, which means making it as anal retentive, convoluted, nonsensical, and useless as possible!!).

Did I say I'm glad I'm retired???!!!!!!!!
