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”
Memorial day 2024
Let me tell you about my friend Lukasz Rogowski, more affectionately know as Rogo. We served together in 1st platoon, Delta company, 4th battalion 31st infantry, 2nd brigade combat team, 10th Mountain Division, Fort Drum. We were some of the first new soldiers assigned to the unit when they returned from their previous deployment. ThoseContinue reading “Memorial day 2024”

With the riding mower down I still managed to get some smaller tasks done, like the smaller lawn that’s fenced in around the pool. The electric push mower is good for that since I can’t get the riding mower in there anyway. The fenced in grass is probably closer to what most people would considerContinue reading “24 May 2024”
