There’s a lot of mowing that needs to be done, last night my mower belt got delivered. I installed the belt and mowed some grass around the pole barn to make sure everything was working. The new bolts I got to attach the pulley covers worked well. An unexpected problem was some bug had coveredContinue reading “12 June 2024”

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”

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”

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”

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”

Previously I had painted part of a ceiling with the wrong type of paint, I used primer and now have spackle paint. The miss matched paint meant I had to paint the whole ceiling,Continue reading “1 February 2024”

Our warm weather has returned and the pond is running full with all the extra water we’ve gotten. My babies went to the zoo this morning while I was able to get some more work done on the house. Yesterday we got a grout blade for an oscillating tool and today I was able toContinue reading “26 January 2024”

The ice-capades of ‘24 are almost over, we made good use of the time yesterday getting some repairs done on the house. Some tiles needed caulking and I replaced a ceiling fan in the office. The old fan might have been from the original build since it had a 60’s look to it, but alsoContinue reading “18 January 2024”
Here’s the scoop on truth, it’s bull poop
I’ve got a lot to straightening out to do in my head today. I felt sad yesterday and now I have have information to sort, it’s as though I go through cycles too. Perhaps it would be nice to have a period because I can track monthly cycles. A guy doesn’t have something as obviousContinue reading “Here’s the scoop on truth, it’s bull poop”
