OT - What are you doing right now?

@Acn - as a bonus, those appear to be cat-proof.

Not sure anything is cat-proof if the cats put their minds to something, but hopefully you are correct!

Today is our 16th anniversary. To celebrate, my wife and daughter went to a wine bar. I get the dog and cat. At least it’s quiet and I can watch John Wick without 100 questions.

@Battleborn - If you think that the follow-on anniversaries are gonna get better, you should reset your expectations.  But just my experience...FWIW-

Trying to work on hand signals with both Duck Dog and Duck Chessie… they are both trying my patience

LOL, Cap’n, I’m not complaining. I met my beautiful bride ~18 years ago on US warship. We began to fraternize (I think the statute of limitations is up) and ended up married. Our first “date” was in Dubai and follow on “dates” were in Rome and Toulon, France. We’ve had a lot of adventures so far and tonight was going to be sushi and a movie. That can wait until tomorrow.

Cat looks like he doesn’t like his picture taken

@Dobie:  Love the cat 😺
@cat:  Oooh, new cloth-upholstered seats!
@Jstroke:  Cat looks like he doesn’t like his picture taken
@cat:  I've received my supper; wait until darkness (no pictures);  and then...

Looks photogenic to me

Wow it’s funny what catches your eye. I didn’t even see that cat, and only the one in the foreground after someone mentioned a cat.

I say I’m a dog person, but this little a$$hole is awesome.

While the top of most European leagues has been determined for some time, tomorrow morning we should all put on black and yellow and turn attention to Dortmund.

And the biggest game in England this weekend is Saturday as well - any thoughts on Coventry v Luton Town and who gets the giant promotion payday?

Bellingham's last game for BD?

There's something very hipster about The Cov' v The Hatters.  Both had strong spells in the early 80's but faded to virtual oblivion since.   No way I would have picked these two back in August.  
I do like the churn aspect.  Different clubs rotating through the PL brings more interest.  Recently we've had Forest, and Brentford before them. 
The result is anyone guess, but what I do know is that Championship Final Play-off day is terrific - I went with my lad for Palace's win in 2013.

I'll tell you what I've been doing the morning.  Mostly thinking about @JohnInCarolina and not just while in the shower, for a change.
SWMBO likes fresh lemon juice with set honey mixed with boiling water in the morning.   I was mulling the optimal mixing strategy that permits even dilution of the honey.

The variables I came up with;
1) honey viscosity, specific heat capacity and volume (about 5% of mixture, maybe 10%)
2) metal spoon it's stuck to
3) lemon juice temperature (5 degrees C, just out the fridge) and volume (about 10% of overall mixture)
4) ceramic mug specific heat capacity and volume
5) water temprature, say 95 degrees C as it's just out the kettle
6) room temp about 20 degrees C
7) stirring technique
8) surface mug is resting upon, which is granite - colder than air temp' some maybe 10 degrees C

The ambition is an even mixture.  Over to you, roof enthusiast.
I am guessing @nolaegghead will have a tool to calculate this, as well

@CPFC1905 - you need more soap for that shower...

Jude’s not even starting.  I was thinking more about somebody outside of Munich winning the Bundesliga for the first time in 11 years.

Edited:   Not looking good for Dortmund.  What is “Spursy” in German?

Didn't know you were Navy? That's how my wife and I met as well!

You can't buy honey in squirt bottles in Great Britain?

Just finished cleaning both vehicles inside and out. 

Also, had this drown in my water bucket while I was washing my windows last night. Looks like a wasp(?) but is massive. I haven’t yet researched what it is.

1) that doesn’t answer the question. 

2) SWMBO has specific tastes.

Somebody is super touchy about their honey & tea.

I prefer creamed/whipped honey.

Heat water to 207.3 degrees F.  Allow to sit at temperature for 613 seconds.

Temper the lemon juice for 15 seconds in a 1000 watt microwave oven.

Slowly stir in the lemon juice to your water.

Pour/scoop whipped honey in a spoon.

Hold the spoon over the mug, prefer ceramic, and slowly pour the hot water/lemon mixture over the honey and into the mug.

After you have poured the water into the mug and dissolved a portion of the honey, use the spoon to slowly stir the mixture until all the honey has dissolved from the spoon.

Serve and enjoy.

Great, thanks I'll do that tomorrow.
@JohnInCarolina you're fired 

Just the one question now,  what is the F all about?

Damn.  My microwave is only 900 watts.

A little unexpected Monster Truck fun. 3yo is in heaven.

Just got this behemoth set up for the kids camping.  So heavy.

@Great_EGGspectations

Your wife is not dressed like the typical monster truck experience connoisseur. Maybe things are different in Canada.
