Decision Time
Well, I put on jeans today to work on the garage for the first time this season. I guess winter really is coming and summer is over. Bummer. I’m trying to make a decision about the future of this website. My hosting is up for renewal and if I don’t renew things will go dark…

Joys of Home Ownership
Just a quick update on all the home renovation going on around these parts. They’re still working on fencing in the backyard. They’re working hard, but I can’t get them to put a full day in and just get it done. Last night they completed most of it, but there are still a few slats…

While I don’t agree with that list, it did get me wondering. So who are the three greatest presidents? I would guess that Lincoln is on that list, and while I…

I Just Don’t Understand
I’m going to ramble and rant for a bit here. I really need to stay away from the news… It must be Saturday. Look, insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence. You have rights, sure. But those rights are to protect you from the government. Not from me. You can…

Holiday Weekend Kickoff
I gave the electrician the go ahead to take care of my electrical project in the garage. He’s going to put a 100 amp panel out there. I’ve also got him replacing and upgrading the main electrical panel I just replaced in the basement. I didn’t do anything terrible, but the panel I put in…

Rainy Sunday Musings
So, you try to plug in a USB plug and it doesn’t fit. You flip it over and still no luck. You flip it back to the original side and now it fits. Argh! I feel your pain. We all feel your pain. How many thousands of times has that happened? Here’s a helpful tip…
