Random Thoughts 15: Crystal Clear 2021 Edition

Welp officially decided that we will take the house off the market and wait until spring if nothing happens by Halloween.
We moved into our house right before Halloween. The first we met one neighbor was him coming over in costume to let us know that they were having a Halloween party and it might be kind of loud. No problem, we like to have an occasional party too, thanks for letting us know. That was the only time we got such a courtesy. Let's just say the rest of that story belongs in the terrible neighbors thread.

Things were great when they got divorced and it was just her living next door...
 
Look at Starbucks. They get a premium price for what amounts to be a coffee flavored milk shake.
On those rare occasions when I do get coffee from Starbucks, my family gets mad at me for ordering black coffee. "There's all these other flavors."

They also get mad at me when I order vanilla shakes. "That's not a flavor. Why don't you just order milk."
 
I think a cup of coffee is measured as about 5 ounces. 5 ounces of coffee is more like a shot.
Yes, when I was in my regular office I had a couple 28 oz mugs that fit on a little mug warmer hot plate. Hot enough to keep the coffee good and hot but not hot enough to start a fire.

To paraphrase Paul Hogan, "That's not a coffee, this is a coffee."

The mugs are still at work but the hot plate is right here next to me at the home office so I can sip coffee all morning from any of my other mugs and it never gets cold.

And I prefer a vanilla shake as well on the extremely rare times I get one.
 
Man, think I blew out a lumbar disc in my back. Trouble standing completely straight.
Ugh, I never though much about back issues until I threw my back out working at the Center. I had to work so I tried just taking easy calls. It even hurts to push a fricken broom when you have a bad back. I never discounted people with bad backs ever again.

Throwing 150# gates and having to twist a lot gives issues.

I bought one of these a year ago. I honestly have no idea what I did without it. Works so damn good and fuels my addiction all day long at work.

Not too crowded but good representation of regulars at LifeTime this afternoon.

The Russian Spies, Natasha and Svetlana, were just leaving as I arrived. Whitey Tee's the machine hog was just getting there as I was getting done. Also present: The Mongolian Princess, The Islander and the Hairy Haitian. Absent: Big Buddha, The Persian Princess, No-Sleeves and Renoir's Model.

Bottomless, is it? Apologies to the "not quite Penthouse" gang. Maybe you had to read it yourself.

Tell us more about Natasha and Svetlana
 
planning on tailgating with some friends for the KU game Saturday. Forecast keeps increasing the chance of rain for Saturday.
 
A new client screwed up their system a week or so ago (can't get a straight answer on when) and since then instead of figuring out what went wrong they have spent more time doing work arounds.
I just got access to their systems at the end of last week. Pretty sure I figured out what's wrong. It would be nice to know when they first messed it up so I can see for sure. I already told them my theory and how to fix it.
It just confirms my belief that there's a reason the word user rhymes with loser.

Already addressed this some but here goes. They speak Russian to each other and on their cell phones. No wedding bands so not mail order brides. ;)

Natasha is the older one, maybe middle-aged, and Svetlana is the younger apprentice and better looking. Natasha looks to be a straight razor toting women who would cut your throat. They are probably actually Russian mafia but spies sounds cooler.

I could try wearing one of these to start a conversation.
