The Coffee House

Thought I`d pop in and say Hi, before Xmas in and out of hospital with the worst chest infection ever, was bed ridden for nearly a week, still taking it easy to get my strength back up so slow walks every day for a while.

Hope you feel better soon!

Smoke , Hi. Hope that you are ok now and that you have power. I can sort of relate as living right by the sea the sub station that serves us is under 100 yards from the sea. Power loss during a storm or high waves is always a possibility
We have torched, candles and a small gen set. Not big enough to supply the house but will give us light and some heat

Yeah, we finally got power restored after 18 hrs. One of my best friends (about 2 miles from me), didn't get power restored till later last night 30hrs.

Not photography related, but for you car buffs out there. If you go to O'reilly's web page https://www.oreillyauto.com/ in the search box at the top, type in part number 121G. You really can find anything on the internet. LOL

Morning all. What a weekend! High 60’s to low 70’s both days and the only rain was overnight. It was great to open up all the windows and let the fresh air in, walk the dogs, sit out on the deck and enjoy a good book... crazy spring like weather in the middle of January! Of course, this is New England, so it was snowing lightly when I woke up this morning. Back to the dreary gray of winter.

@Original katomi If plumbers there are as bad as they are here, then good luck. Took us 3 months to get one lined up to install a gas line. Most never called back, some called back but never came out to give an estimate, one came out gave an estimate, we agrreed on price, last we heard from him.

Smoke, Hi well fingers crossed the hot water is working. Now I have a blocked bath drain, but that can wait until daylight. One plumber I called said he could fit us in in.....February

Aren't DeLoreans extinct in the wild?

Somewhat related - apparently Chevy (Canada) accidentally released a Camaro trim for 2020 earlier than planned.

Still warm like that down here in GA, and the rain seems never-ending. A January thaw is not unheard-of, but this is a little ridiculous. Our forsythia bushes have popped a few bright yellow blooms. I'm hoping the temps drop back down quickly or other buds will pop only to be killed later. Ugh - I don't like warm winters!

When I was first teaching there was a family at our school that had a DeLorean. Every once in a while the mom would come to school and pull into the circle (where my classroon faced) and we'd all stare out the window at it! Was pretty cool when those doors would open up to see one in real life.
