What's new

The Coffee House

Hi folks, my laptop has been going crazy so will be getting a new one this Tuesday/ordering it from Dell. 17inch screen but have a choice of two.
 
A beautiful Sunday here - 72 degrees for a high and deep, clear blue sky. :icon_sunny: Car washing now, football later. Laid back day.

Happy Sunday, hosers!
 
Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Foggy this morning. Just a surprise as yesterday was pretty warm. Yesterday was successful, the Sous Vide Tri-Tip was super, simmered for 30+ hours in wine, herbs and seasonings. We and guests ate in the patio and watched the start of the LA-Boston game. Dinner menu was Tri-Tip, scalloped potatoes, garden fresh salads, garlic bread and Blanc de Blancs. Then, with the top down, we were off to The Maverick Theater for Night of the Living Dead. The play was nothing but fun ... good, old fashion scary fun. The theater is tiny which brings the audience, all of the audience, into the story. Lots and lots of zombies coming out of every window, door and crevice ... tons of severed limbs, shotgun blasts and a cornucopia of flesh eating. In the end, a truck crashes through the stage.

Beautiful day here. Up at 6 this morning for early service, then back to get in a little time on the deck. Weather has taken a toll on it, with several boards needing replacement.
 
No magic penny.
Classic music on YouTube.
Seems to be quite nice outside.
The AC hasn't come on yet today.

Salmon patties and Mac and cheese for dinner. Still no ice cream. Have $10 to get gas in the truck. Life is hard and then you die.

Gary sunk the new soaker hose(s) into its new location ... more digging and squirming amongst roses. He is semi-beat ... time for a shower and get ready for the WS. He is gulping up some Dr. Pepper and snacking on Cheese Puffs. Mary Lou claims that Cheese Puffs are nutritious.
 
On Maggie and Gary's morning constitutional, we ran into a few of Maggie's friends, Honey, Chloe and Franklin. (Maggie has more friends than Gary.) On the way out of the park we ran into two new dogs, Jack and Rivers. Both were rescued from the pound and physically, both dogs looked like they had the same parents. The human attached to the new dogs said she recently had the dogs DNA tested and the tan/brown and white pooch was a pure-breed American Staffordshire Terrier and the black & white some mix of pit bull et al. Both dogs were simply beautiful and equally magnificent. The Amstaffs look like a pit bulls who have trained for a combo beauty and muscle building contest. Maggie, the parks social director, broke down their initial reservations and aloofness and after a spell and Maggie's persistence, the new dogs reluctantly joined the pack and all running and playing together.
 
I went to one of the local L.L. Bean stores yesterday, and got myself what I thought was a three season coat - water resistant outer shell with warm removable liner that can be worn alone. But, apparently I actually bought myself a light rain jacket and Zoe a cat bed.

Uh oh, I think the movie on TCM now might be the one where - a mummy enters the darkroom!!! And a wooden tripod doesn't faze the mummy - oh wait, that's a vampire that a wooden stake is supposed to do in. Well, it's a heckuva thing for a mummy to disturb someone making prints in the darkroom.



Oh yeah, this is it, the guy was just hanging up some prints to dry, that mummy's got to find him soon (I hope, some of these Hammer films are so cheesy).
 
Mary Lou, Gary and guests are watching the WS after a very nice dinner in the patio. Tom brought over some Korean style chicken and spicy pork which Gary grilled up on the BBQ. Mary Lou worked on the sides, rice, salad, grilled veggies and garlic bread. Cookies and espresso for dessert for those with a sweet tooth.
