What are you doing today?

I had to post this here (vs. the Photos >> Cats thread), I was messing around with the Allbirds app, they have a new "virtual try on", which is really slick, works amazingly well (they're primarily a sneaker/shoe company).

Went into the little G's room to show her (she also thought it was very cool), then saw kitty, and well, hahahahaha ... :ROFLMAO:

We had brunch on Sunday at The Terrace, inside The Edition, it was excellent, it was a little slow coming out (had an order/POS issue), we weren't in a rush, manager comp'ed all our drinks :D

They had one of my White Whale beers:

97 on BA, it's as good as it gets / as I imagined, seriously world class.

Above from the vacation thread, where I had one of the greatest beers on the planet.

Holy smokes, it was so good, it actually exceeded my expectations (a few others I've tracked down while excellent, weren't quite the "hear a choir of angels" experience people suggested).

Though it's probably hard to separate the beer from the experience. And heck, after the manager came around and said, "drinks are on me, order up ...", it got even better :LOL:

I first saw it on Total Wine's site, but this is the state of availability:

Then was told by the manager, "Probably not again till next year ..."

I ran over to Total Wine, stalked the beer aisles for an hour or so, had some awesome scores, everything is world class - the Draak is amazing, but pretty easy to find, the Maine Beer and Allagash are white whales o_O

Found Maine Spring a week or so ago, it's stellar no doubt.

Then ...

We were back near Total Wine (picking up the little G's dress, post alterations, for the dance ...) I went in and BEHOLD! HOLY SHIT!

Yes, I bought many :D
 
It's funny how I always lose weight on vacations; you might think the opposite would happen, but the combination of eating at weird, random times, and walking around everywhere means I get skinnier. :P

In either case, I'm enjoying New York, but boy would I not want to live here. So crowded, so cramped, so very humid. 😖
 
Had a bunch of tree work done, it was a pretty big project, a crew of 6 people, huge cherry picker, a chipper, two other huge trucks, it looks great. This was the entire yard, lots of trimming, massive limbs removed, cleared the power lines, trimmed the main palm (this thing is like 50 feet tall), we remove a lot of weight, and anything that might hit the house, power lines, etc., with 90MPH winds.

Long weekend, lots of movies, eating and drinking, a little work but mostly fun and JFC, this was the last early school Friday ever, the little G has Tue/Wed and she's done.
 
Said goodbye to a colleague at work who is moving on. Had a free 100% charge for the i3 at work. Makes the pain of going in fill slightly less painful!
Watered the garden. Washed up. Took a few pictures in the garden.
Now just chilling in the study before bed.
 
Spent the morning weeding. Will get one or two of the lawns done by lunchtime.
Not as sunny as predicted, but pleasant enough when the wind drops.
Also shot a few images of one of our Bluetit fledglings who was hanging around for a while. Will edit those later.
 
Drove to Swansea this morning to drop off some caravan poles to my father in law and got a meeting with the police this afternoon to discuss some vandalism we had to both our cars the other night. Managed to catch the kids on camera spray painting down the side of both our cars in the middle of the night on Wednesday and got names due to a social media appeal. I know the police won’t do anything about it though. We have a skip on our drive due to building work and it was the first time we’ve ever parked our cars on the road overnight since we’ve lived here too. The same kids damaged 11 other cars before ours.

We had some friend's who worked for Bayer. When they closed down their research department here, the employees were transferred to Pittsburgh. So he bought a Chevy Volt which he was able to park at the free charging station right up by the door.

And right beside the president's i8. LOL. He gamed the system and won. :) Except for having to drive a Volt. :oops:

Nooooo! Not the new car. Did you manage to get the paint off? Some t-cut would probably work before it’s fully hardened.
That would probably make me cry if it was my new BMW.
 
I would tuck that new BMW i3 into your garage every night, AFB!!!

Real Deal, that's awful that some young hooligans damaged both of your cars plus eleven others -- those kids need to be appropriately punished. Good thing your camera captured them and they could be identified!

I think things are safe enough in my little village on the drive. But it does have a dashcam.
Trouble is they will just get a slap on the wrist due to their age. If it was my child I’d be offering the owners the money to put things right. Then making the little tike’s work to pay me back. If they have no consequences for theirs actions, how will they learn? Stick their phones and PlayStation’s on eBay.
@The-Real-Deal82 hope it gets sorted.

I’m driving across the bay this afternoon to pick up my daughter at the airport. She’s spending a whole week with us! Of course, Tuesday-Friday she’ll be working, but it will be so nice to have her here in the evenings!

I managed to get it off thank goodness! Mostly on the glass and a bit on the paintwork. One of our neighbours damaged his car trying to get it off. Spoke to the police and the kids are known in the area for causing trouble. Apparently they nicked a little girls new bike out of her garden shortly after damaging the cars. The police have admitted it’s difficult to prosecute as they are 14-15 and will deny its them despite fairly clear CCTV. All this happened after midnight on a school night so you can understand the parents couldn’t give a shit.

When I find out the name of the kid, which I will, I may have to wait a few months and spray paint his Dads car in the dead of night with a balaclava on [emoji14]

Are you sure there is a Dad?
Glad you got the paint off. When I lived in the North East there was a lot of vandalism. I must have had about 4 bathroom windows one month. The first time I told the mother. She told me her child was at home all evening. He was never home despite being around 10.
After that I used to just call the council and get the window replaced.
Used to have a lot of break ins as well. But after the second one you’d have thought they would have stopped as there was nothing left to steal. I was poor back then.
