After dropping the baby off this morning I swung by ACE hardware again since last time I forgot to look for lawn mower belts and other things. The store didn’t carry belts big enough, the other items on my list were more sand to weigh down a shade canopy and a hose for a refrigeratorContinue reading “11 June 2024”

Hopefully everyone had a good weekend, I don’t remember much from my weekend, so I assume it was pretty standard with a lot of baby games. My daughter started showing affection to a stuff Mickey mouse, it’s the first time she’s really played with a stuffed animal. She likes to push a toy stroller aroundContinue reading “10 June 2024”

On the podcast last night I talked about how every task becomes more complicated with a kid. We went to the grocery store this morning and there were plenty of example of how the shopping was made more complicated. Even though we’re only driving 10 minutes down the road, we’ve got to have snacks packedContinue reading “7 June 2024”

Not much got done the past couple days, I needed some rest, can’t keep burning the candle at both ends. Allergies are hitting hard this year as we’re not in a warmer climate, there are plants growing here that couldn’t at our previous location, I can even grow citrus now. The ball is back rollingContinue reading “6 June 2024”

Today is the earliest my replacement mower belt can arrive, checking on the tracking it doesn’t seem likely. To prepare and possibly speed things up I’ll go to ACE hardware and see if they sell the belt I need, I need to go there anyway for bags of sand and to match a screw. TheContinue reading “4 June 2024”

Happy June everyone. Last Friday was indeed a good day, the short video I made did better than I would have ever hoped and my Youtube channel has nearly doubled in subscribers since then. The only goal I know of for Youtube subscribers is 1,000, so I had said we’ll get that by the endContinue reading “3 June 2024”

The end of the week, the end of the month, and so far it’s a good day. Often on Fridays the baby doesn’t go down for her nap since she doesn’t nap at daycare and it usually takes a day for her to get into our rhythm. She’s sleeping right now which is always theContinue reading “31 May 2024”

Last night my wife and I was sitting in the bedroom starring at the new furniture, trying to process our life as it still doesn’t make sense. Before the podcast last week I was asking my brother if he remembers the first time he experienced central air. When we were young I remember all ofContinue reading “30 May 2024”

We’re getting bedroom furniture today, I’m currently waiting for the delivery. My wife and I have had an expression for years, “it’s happening”, we’d say whenever our plans are becoming real life. We said it last night while getting ready for the delivery and it struck me how much has happened, that we’ve been throughContinue reading “29 May 2024”

As the immortal Jadakiss said, “It’s gonna be a real hot Summer.” It’s before noon and I was doing some light yardwork, maybe cut 10 branches with the loopers, when I came inside my clothes were soaked in sweat from head to toe. We’re not even into June yet. Since infantry training in Fort BenningContinue reading “28 May 2024”
