The Coffee House

[limr30]

Morning hosers. It's Saturday so I got to sleep past 6:30. I was still tired, though, so I checked my tracking bracelet thingy and apparently I got more overall sleep, but less sound sleep last night. Good times.

Buzz is in the first stages of a cold so we're staying away from each other today - I can't risk catching his cold right before my wisdom teeth surgery. But now I don't get to see him today. Stupid logic

Well, you could come on down here to stay warm . . . hold on . . . (What was that, sweetie? Uh-huh. OK) . . . never mind.

Seriously - I hope he gets over i quickly.

Father needs to go out for errands (he dont drive needs a ride), one kid still with a sleep over so extra teenager i should probably figure out if is going home at some point, another supposed to be brought to movies (wifes sitting through sponge bob i guess) need hair cut, another kid needs hair cut, have to go get a piece of plexi glass (damn door glass broke again in the wind), and i really just want to go shoot. wth...

and my wife spent 70 bucks getting her hair done yesterday. And to me it doesnt even look much different than before. wth do i know. i go to ten dollar hair cuts or shave my head myself or have her cut my hair. could be a busy day, but geez, i think i would rather just do nothing or go shoot.

Thanks anyway

I hope he gets over it quickly too. He's already champing at the bit because of winter, and often the thing that helps him deal with things is going out to do something. So he's already feeling trapped and being sick means resting when he doesn't want to rest...yeah, I hope he gets over it fast, and not just for his sake! He's not exactly easy to deal with when he's like this

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Things are cooling off here. @ 8:00 a.m. it is 61F. It may not even hit 70F today. I had meetings with some guys from Birmingham yesterday. They said they left a land of ice and sleet. One of the guys stayed with friends in the Los Feliz area of LA. He told me his friends were selling the house for $2M. I looked at him and said the house must be about 2500sf to 3000sf. He said, about that ... and we both just shook our heads. Just crazy around here. It like I'll trade you two $25,000 cats for one $50,000 dog. Just doesn't make sense. There is a big move for Silicon Valley type companies to settle down in Playa del Rey area ... by the beach. That is boosting housing even more ... it is all crazy.

Good morning, folks. I am patiently awaiting the new snowfall.

It's a-comin'! Since about 10 p.m. last night, we've had sleet, snow, freezing rain, more sleet, back to snow, topped off with a little more sleet. We are finally in a lull now with no precipitation right at this moment...but the rains are coming next!

So much ice that road crews haven't been able to do much of anything about the roads. I've been up working since 5 a.m., but we still haven't been able to start running any buses at all, even on extreme conditions routing. I'm actually hoping for the rain to start soon, because I can't quit work and get some more sleep until we get back on regular routing. It sounds like that could be late this afternoon.

Oh, well. More coffee, please.
Do you know how much coffee the average person drinks in one week?
Me neither...but I am pretty sure that I have singlehandedly upped that average this week.

Ah, there's the call!! Finally going to start running some buses! Extreme Conditions, so just five routes, and only on main roads, but at least that's improvement! Gets me one step closer to a nap!

sounds like another bubble in the making. History repeats itself...

Nothing here, yet. Hopefully it won't get too bad for you.

I don't think so. That last housing bubble burst because the banks were making bad loans, left and right, to unqualified peoples. Now the banks are super vetting and qualifying all their loans. The guy told me that the realtor told his friends that they better be ready to move. The homeowners said oh, we are ... that's why we're putting the house on the market. The realtor shot back ... I mean move ... this will be sold in a few days. Los Feliz is by Griffith Park, not even near the beach where the homes held their values even during the crash.

I can get behind a little Friday glitter.

Mehhh... Friday's nothing more than the last Monday of the week!

... I will probably just keep my door closed about 80% of the time while she's gone, see if B*tsh$t actually calls me on it.

Two words: Beaded curtain! Seriously, leave the door open and take a trip back to '72 or so with a nice beaded curtain. You know, just to keep the flies out? That might get the message across.

 

[otherprof88 29]

Dude, seriously? Only 9,751. I thought I'd be over 10,000. Bastards.

I'm at 21,710 right now. But this is an exceptionally high day. My daily goal is 12,000 steps and usually I have to take an afternoon walk to the store to hit my goal. Perfect weather helps.

My pedometer reads 37,000 steps, but it went into the washing machine and drier this morning.

i haven't seen a beaded curtain in years. I miss them. No one has them anymore..

Just got back home from a small shopping expedition. Surprisingly, the grocery store was not crazy-crowded (no, we are not in the bread-milk-toilet paper crowd). We had light snow when we went out, a bit heavier & covered streets a couple of hours ago, and now we are into the mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain.
