    Default The Coffee Shop

    Since this thread is so popular on another board, I thought I'd see what kind of life one might have here. This thread is for general, every day chit chat, nothing in particular but a thread where we keep POLITICS and RELIGION OUT. This is simply a "what are you up to" thread...

    ... like I have to take the new Camaro back up to the dealer tomorrow for a total detailing job. When I got the car home I washed and waxed it and noticed the paint was far from perfect. The hood especially. There's quite a few little issues, a couple are outright deep dings. I'd take care of that myself if the car was used. I'm pretty good with a buffer and I have all the latest and greatest, DeWalt buffer, Chemical Guys pads and solutions, but the car is new so I want it perfect from the dealer.

    Also found out it's what's called a 2SS. They make a 1SS and a 2SS, and the 2SS has all the cool options like the Z71 has which includes the door and dash lit trim stuff that changes colors, the active vents in the hood, the high rear spoiler, 20 inch wheels, Brembo brakes with a 6 piston in front and 4 piston in the rear, the active dual mode exhaust, the 4 diving modes, "Track Mode" is only on the 2SS and Z71, different displays and functions in the dash and Head Up Display, etc. All these goodies can only be found on the 2SS and the Z71. So my little black Camaro really is basically just a Z71 without the supercharger.

    So now that I've bored everyone for the umpteenth time about my car, somebody change the subject...

    Got up, got Justin ready to go to his last day of school this term.
    Then I went to pick up my wife from her work. We discussed family issues and then stop got her breakfast.
    Came home, checked my poetry site, its comments etc.
    Then I came here to read, maybe even stop to compose a poem.
    So basically a slow morning. Nothing of import going on..

    Having coffee and relaxing for 7 more minutes. The "Big Clean " follows. Nearly ready to load the trailer next Tuesday.

    Timing is everything! I'm moving on the 30th. Weather at Casa Grande then, 97. The 30TH? 106!
    Sigh!

    Crossing my fingers that the electric is on the 29th, and wifi the 30th!

    We're hitting 100 by the weekend here too. Means I need to get off my ass and go run. Middle of the day runs are over for the duration of summer.

    Pacing myself. Got all the surface cleaning done, next, the floors. It's much easier to clean 400 some sq footage. Over nearly 4000.

    Also cleaning up over 1 person, easier than 5÷!

    Finding the silver lining,

    Meeting a friend who's spatially gifted for breakfast, then going to storage unit to determine which trailer to rent for the move. We'll go resrve that, then going hiking by Sedona airport.

    I've pretty much am ready to go. Can't pack up anymore until Tuesday. Wednesday morning we're off!

    If your son in law was complaining about the heat a few weeks ago...

    Getting ready to pack and head south for my son's university graduation.
    He will be getting his doctorate in Physical Therapy.

    I cannot take the cat along, so he will be confused for a few days - and likely
    pissed at me when I get back!
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Just listening to you talking about your move makes me tired...

    I'm about ready to hook up the wagon and go rake around my lilac bush where I had sucker trees and mile high weeds growing that a couple friends and their machines I don't have, have, that dug them all out and left piles. Lots of work, the sweat will be pouring off me shortly, and I'd rather do that than move! ...

    I feel for ya, Kath... pace yourself, even though it sounds like you have everything well under control.

    I'll tell ya, cats are funny. My big old tiger cat, Buttons, he'd meet me at the door when I came home and have all kinds of stories. My little campfire usually doesn't budge. She doesn't give a rats behind if I'm coming or going. Sometimes she'll be at the door but that usually means I haven't gotten her her dry afternoon crunchies, and she wants me to GET TO IT.

    They're all a little different.

    Made myself scrambled egg on toast, and a pot of Italian Roast coffee.
    Two loads of laundry done.
    While wash was going, watched the movie “Failure to Launch” because of the 30 year old guy who won’t leave his parent’ house. Eh.
    About to have lunch with our daughter at a local pub.
    Weather is very nice- 75 and sunny

    I'm waiting "The Monuments Men" to get here. Bought it on ebay, supposed to be a true story. Trailer looked good.

    I'm taking a break too... shirt is soaked with sweat... hardly a 1/3 done with what I have to do.

    I'd rather go "hiking and swimming"...
