Under two weeks until we have to be out of our home and living in the lake hovel until the first week of August. So much yet to do! This is nuts. ..

Up to speed... Thank you!
Back to PP today. The snow was MUCH nicer than expected (expected slush)!
Wyatt's still getting used to his new skis... I feel like I'm nearly where I ended last season... HOORAH!
Big note of thanks to all those who supported me while I was one armed.

Snowboarding again...
Third day on the snow post injury. Very pleased that I opted for the surgery and happy with the outcome.
Shoulder feels great. Worth the two months in the sling and all the rehab.
Snow was really nice tonight even with the 60+ degree day. Was really able to carve it up with the mostly empty slopes.
Heather and Wyatt also had a really great night with all their new equipment. Her first night on the slopes this season... great start!
NASTAR racing isn't looking to good this season with the unseasonably warm temperatures.
Hope Paoli Peaks is able to stay open through this warm spell.

Work folks...
So I wrote an email:
So apparently my scoops ratio (amount of coffee used) is causing some discussion.
Starbucks instructs, ”2 tbsp per 6oz water.”
Tbsp = Tablespoon
There is 64 oz of water in the pitcher.
64/6 = 10.67 servings per 1 pitcher.
10.67 * 2 tbsp = 21.34 tbsp of coffee per 1 pitcher
But Dave there’s no tbsp… there’s a 1/3 of a cup scoop!
16 tbsp = 1 cup so 16/3 = 5.33 tbsp per scoop.
21.34/5.33 = 4.00 scoops
So following instructions 4 scoops of coffee per 1 pitcher of water.
-Dave
BTW- if the above conversions don’t highlight the need to move to the metric system nothing will.
Which was followed by a response:

My tornado alert system
So I bought one of these several years ago and I bought the separate AC adapter. It beeps a lot during setup but once done with setup it will just alarm for only Tornado warnings in your county. You can set it up to alert to every type of warning but you won't sleep much!
Over the last couple of years this setup has performed exceptionally well. It typically alerts 5 to 10 MINUTES before the sirens go off in our area. There have been times we were alerted by the SAME radio watched the tornadic cell pass by and then heard the sirens. I wish I was kidding but trusting the siren system is a bad idea.
