USMB Coffee Shop IV

[Ringel05]

Yesterday we were going to make a trip up to Silver City, the wife let the cats out for a short outing in the back yard while watching Giz like a hawk....... She went to grab him and bring him in, he slipped from her grasp and in a flash was over the wall with her trying to grab him again. We didn't go cause she didn't want to leave while he was out, didn't want to be gone when he decided to come home....... six hours later....... He's grounded now. With the change in weather he's bouncing off the walls.......

Anybody know where this house is? Hombre and I visited a similar underground house in the Scottsdale area years ago, but I don't think that was this one. Plus that terrain doesn't look at all like Scottsdale.

The exterior looks a lot like a house in my home town. It's been 50 years since I've seen it, so I can't say what it looks like these days, but the terrain does look like Connecticut.

Been looking for the Swiffer dusting handles for at least a month or two, should have asked the wife right off the bat, "oh yeah, I put them in the umbrella stand so they wouldn't get lost......" Like I would think to look there.......

I don't use Swiffers. I do it the old-fashioned way with furniture polish and a rag. Lol.

 

[Ernie S.]

I just open the doors and fire up the air compressor.

Seriously?

Just the deck... This time of the year, I get thousands of acorns falling and I either clean them up, or put shoes on when I go out there for coffee.

That's too much work...... I like Ernie's method better......

Why not pick them up and spread them around the countryside wherever you go. You could leave a trail of future oak trees behind you. I tried to do it with sunflowers by spreading thousands of seeds everywhere I went . But I discovered that slugs and snails find sunflower seedlings tasty so they eat the vast majority of them and kill them off. So I had a very small crop of sunflowers that grew to fruition.

We had that back in Northern Virginia, some seasons it would "rain" acorns....... Very interesting if you have the old style metal lawn furniture...... woke me up on more than one occasion.....

We have a TON of Oaks in my back yard (which is woods in a conservation area). No need for any more or they would block out the sun completely in the summer.

When I was a wee sprout I used 'em for batting practice.

There are billions of acorns here. My lawn has thousands of tiny oak saplings that I have to mow, pull or chop. The very last thing I want to do with acorns is plant trees that will make..... more damned acorns.

I have a metal roof, thank you.

Lately the wife's been watching Daryl's House (Daryl Hall from Hall and Oats fame). He has a place in Millerton, NY which he jams with a myriad of new and established musicians and they have a cooking section on some as many musicians share their favorite recipes. He's jamming with Smokey Robinson right now.

Live From Daryl's House: This Month's Episode

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

A while,back when I scoped out a few shows on cable tv (I ditched my tv) I caught Daryl's House. cool interactions with other musicians.

A truly great show like that was Elvis Costello's show...don't know what happened to it
