The Coffee House

Good morning, peeps.

My usual K-Cup (Black Magic, again) then off to DC for the second day of the ESRI Federal Users' GIS Conference. I have a full schedule of workshops planned.

Does anyone actually steak any more?????

I steak. I steaked for dinner on Sunday night. If I could afford it, financially and physically, I'd steak several times a week! Just nothing quite like a big slab of red meat for dinner.
(Sorry, Lenny and Marija--but if it helps at all, I do also like some of that stuff that meat eats. Veggies are yummy, as long as they are served next to a hunk of meat).

Costa Rican something or other here. Just finished cup #1. Thinking about frying up some bacon to go along with cup #2. Then off to work.

Got my car back from the mechanic yesterday; hooray!! Replaced a $20 part (oil pressure switch), then charged me 3 times that in labor. But since I would have had no idea HOW to replace that part, it was well worth it. Driving around with the oil light constantly coming on was starting to make me develop a nervous tic.

Getting the wrench to the pressure switch is the hard part.

Morning, hosers. I see I missed an interesting food discussion last night, although "discussion" may not be the correct term. I'll eat anything, although I usually avoid beef just because it disagrees with me - I don't really miss it.

Having the morning coffee now. It doesn't seem to be improving my attitude towards work, but that may be asking too much even of coffee - you think?

Oh, the tilt. Lemme guess - ya hit the liquor store, first?

If you call it a Dutch Tilt ... it would be considered art.

i don't even worry about it. Now if i couldn't take a straight photo and didn't know the difference then i would worry. Start worrying about every photo and getting each square you kind of miss the point of shooting. I like the idea of being free floating with a camera in my hand, not shoved in a imaginary box.

Yep, with newer cars you gotta start at the top and work your way down. After replacing the part and working your way back up again, you gotta hide all the extra leftover pieces because you forgot where they went.

That's how my five year old grandson shoots. The trick to get as much right in the camera and do minimal in post ... including squares and horizons.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. It's beginning to warm up here this week. In the 70's today should hit 80F+ by the end of the week. Santa Ana conditions where the winds come off the deserts instead of the ocean. At the dog show on Saturday, I was chatting with a guy from San Francisco who wanted to take his dog to the beach. I gave him directions to Dog Beach in Huntington. If it hits 80F maybe I'll take Cook on Friday. She loves the beach.
