The Coffee House

I was bored today so I made some banana blueberry muffins.

@nerwin Unfortunately, I like Blueberry Muffins just a little to much. They're like potato chips I can't just eat one, and before I know it I've downed a dozen,😳
 
Good evening, hosers.
Just got back to MLSIL's from an early dinner with a friend from Jr High/Middle School. We'd lost touch during high school, then reconnected for a while about 10 years ago. It was nice, looking forward to a replay in a couple months.

The OSV (Over Sand Vehicle) trip is cancelled; MLW needs to go to hospital for some testing (high K), and possibly have an IV of Mg. I'll get back when MLSIL and MLW are feeling better to see the horses. I won't be driving on the beach, but that's OK.

@snowbear - Nice to reconnect with an old friend! Or, more like a re-reconnect.

Sorry for the medical issues going on with the family. Hard to get the plans going, I know from experience. Hope everyone is better soon!

@nerwin - those look awesome! Didn't you make a pizza recently, too? I think there's a Chef Nerwin waiting to come out! ;)

I made another pizza tonight. I'm getting sick of eating them but I'm practicing!

Well I'm sending my brand new MacBook Pro out for repair. The hinges shouldn't be making a crunchy snapping sound everytime you open the lid. The guy from Apple said that's not normal and recommend sending it in for inspection/repair.

The repair title said "Customer Sensory Issue" 🙄

It doesn't bother me, but a $1600 premium laptop with fancy hinges shouldn't sound this bad when you open and close it. There are tight tolerances with thin wires running through these hinges. What if something is misaligned from the factory and eventually wears through and I have a faulty screen or one of the sensors stopped working?

That's why I'm sending it in to make it's OK.

Luckily I have Apple care and shouldn't cost me anything to have it looked at possibly repaired.

Agreed, you're doing the right thing. It's stuff like this that makes getting the Apple care a smart decision. It will come back repaired and perfect.

In other news - Happy Friday, hosers! It's been in the 40's F and raining all day. Hubby had to get the drain well pump out, though - between the melting snow and the rain, the runoff was soon a pond in the the back yard. Thankfully it's not duck season yet. :lol: They get cranky when we pump their little ponds away.

Going to drop back down to the 30s F and maybe even below freezing, this will all turn to snow soon. I'd rather have the snow than all this slushy stuff. Icky.
 
Back to -4F this a.m. and freeze-up of all that Slurpee-like slush from Thurs-Fri. Out comes the salt again. Popsicle fingers for me. FIL needs a new battery I'm nominated to install this morning. Lucky me...
Good news. No sales tax(13%)for another week and a bit on beer and vino--YAY!
 
Rained all day yesterday then turned to a light snow overnight. Now we have a thin layer of snow hiding the black ice beneath. Dangerous conditions this morning. Harlie and I are going to paint and do laundry and stay warm. Supposed to be headed to coastal NH for dinner tonight but going to check the weather before I confirm as our destination is a bit of a windy drive once you leave the highway.

On a different note, I snagged this monstera thai constellation yesterday at the grocery store! These used to be very rare and expensive (several hundred dollars for a small cutting!) and now they are under $20 at the grocers! The prices on houseplants have really become very affordable the past few years. Any other houseplant enthusiasts here on TPF? I have accumulated a small jungle of plants over the past 5 years or so.

Good morning, hosers. Rain all day yesterday. Currently 38F (3C) but will get to 52F (11C). It's snowing at the Maine house.
