No damage, but no power for almost 8 hours! The electric utility was at the site down by the river where a tree had fallen over a line for several hours, but they couldn't do anything because they cannot climb when there is lightning and thunder - and it never stopped ALL DAY. My poor smelly Bloodhound was inside next to me all day.

Good morning 😊
Glad you're doing well Drac

Have a wonderful Sunday

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Grocery shopping is on the agenda today.

And I'm outta here for a few days. Heading to Colorado for my grandson's high school graduation!

Good morning Boomers. Have fun Draclvr.

Had to look that coffee up, soot. I'll try some, thanks.

Safe and pleasant travels to you Drac.

same thing. will not be on thunderstorm is coming, and can not turn on computer during it.

Oldbroad, Kicking Horse coffee is big here in BC, too. It's good coffee, well worth trying. Our favourite was Smart Ass, a medium roast that worked really well in a French Press.

Good Monday morning one and all!

I see that Drac (aka the Human Dynamo) is taking a well-earned break: hope you enjoy the trip and the ceremony.

Our old Cuisinart bean to cup filter coffee machine finally gave up the ghost after over 10 years, and as prices have tumbled we have just bought an entry level Philips coffee machine which does a brilliant job https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEyAlhaRY9w

Overcast but dry here today, so hedge trimming and other garden tidying tasks will be on the agenda.

Wow Lex that's awesome...enjoy!

Folgers Breakfast Blend mild roast coffee, Irish Breakfast Tea and bottled Fiji water in the Break Room.

Have a great Monday everyone.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Enjoy your day everyone.

Looks like a great machine you got there, Lex 👍👍👍

Looks interesting Lex. I hope you enjoy it. Much to complex for me though. I just have a Mr. Coffee Jr.

We used to have a little espresso machine, back when they were first available for homes. It made decent coffee. I've often thought about investing in a new one.


EDIT: Aha! I just saw the first Humpbacks of the year just offshore. They're just lolling around, not really headed anywhere. It's slack tide, so they may have found a pocket of food.

same thing. made, https://thecookinchicks.com/chicken-and-dumpling-casserole/, for cooking class, small thunderstorm.

sports and chores.

Good morning everyone

Sumatra dark roast coffee, Scottish Breakfast Tea and bottled Fiji water in the Break Room.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room.

Another gloomy, grey day. We've had almost no good weather this spring. A few medical things to attend to today, then back to my Mass Effect marathon.

Similar day here hagatha. Rained earlier and more expected later. Fits my mood though.

Hello everyone ... it's hump day ... and it's raining here too ... but I'm totally OK with it as the rain is refilling the underground wells, springs and aquifers ... have a wonderful afternoon!

Earl Grey, Ceylon Black and Sri Lankan Black Tea in the Break Room.

Mine, too.

Things are bad on the health front here. I seem to have hit the wall in terms of my own energy dealing with John's medical situation. We've got some Home Care now, which is easing some of it, but even so I'm just exhausted.

You have to take care of yourself or you'll be no help to him at all, and you'll end up needing help yourself.

Hagatha, I'm glad you have some help coming in. Gentle hugs to you
