Strange snow yesterday. It literally snowed from ~8am to 4pm...and we had less accumulated snow at nightfall than we did at lunchtime. Jeez.

Streets are clear and dry this morning.

LOL Do you know what they call "Traveling Nachos" in LilQ's school cafeteria?

A single-serve bag of doritos that they mash slightly, open up, dump a disgusting spoonful of ground mystery meat in and hand it over. The boys love it. I've never seen a girl with one on her tray.

And truthfully, it didn't cost them much more to get the vinyl siding & shutters that turned it into a virtually maintenance-free building. A subsequent owner, with a register electrician father ran service out to it. Sweet!

They were a super-nice family and when we got the devastating news that they were moving, we were glad they got top-dollar for their home, right before the RE crash. They deserved it as the rest of their property was equally as well designed and maintained.

Luckily, the HOA was forced to back off on many of their wacked-out, super "strict" interpretations...and so many of the subsequent "sheds" are nowhere near that nice. Hubs wants one "like that" but "bigger" (of course)...so we're having to build up the $$ reserves to make it happen. Where are the Man-Cave Crashers when you need 'em?

Good ole HOA's. Idont have one at my home. Its like an optional 50 bucks a year. There is a pavilion and a small filed some guy maintains. Pretty much all the cash for the year goes to him.

I have to build a shed at some poitn also. Gets old pulling out Lawnmower, snowblower and wheelbarrow to pull my truck out of the garage. My yard is sloped though so It wouldnt be an easy task to put one thier. Probably just build extension onto the back of the garage, but dont want it looking funny because theres no way to match the color of 55 year odl brick. But white siding should suffice because it is in the back of the house.

swung with the Wilson 99s yesterday at a local shop at Rockville. No, zap, it's not that one that we both dont like. I went to the one next off of Parklawn. Swings really nice. About to demo it this sunday.
Anyone played with the following before? Dunlop Bio 200, 400 & 500, Head YT Extreme, Prince Graphite EXO3? Wilson Blade 98 (Black and Gold version) Found those there lying in the corner.

Sap: they had $25 Five Toe shoes there. Don't know what model it is, but there were two shelves full in the half rack in the back.

I'm working remotely Thursday. I try to stretch my legs during lunch, when the weather is good.

coolblue123 · 03-08-2013, 08:18 AM

what's for lunch? @ home today with my bowl of 50c ramen.

Went to Shanghai Taste last week. Their Shao Long Bao (Little soup dumplings) were pretty good. Actually have soup inside. Their noodle soup is pretty good as well.

Homemade Chili and a salad.

Slept without moving much holding a sick kiddo all night. Feels like I've been hit in the back with an Isner serve. Ouch!!!

All I have to say is TGIF, I'm so beat.

Using ntrp levels...what was it?

Was it like the owner self described as 5.0, then people realized it was all a double and eventually the menu had to regulate. so it got bumped Down to 4.5. Is that temporary as the meal gets worse eating results to eventually get down to 4.0?

All the time patrons just remember the 5.0 rating which was owner rated.

Do tell tennis monkey?

it was just panda express. it's okay chinese food cooked by a lot of spanish speaking folks but with an asian guy or girl in the front taking the order. i don't think panda rates their food on the NTRP scale.
