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”

Good news comes with the bad, I finally made it to the furthest corner of my property only to have another lawn mower belt break seconds later. I know I’m buying cheap belts, but I’m also driving like wild in the forest. There are even mulching blades for the mower that I don’t have, fromContinue reading “23 May 2024”

Yesterday I had to rest, usually I rest Monday’s as the weekends are usually a lot of work. The car maintenance had been put off for so long, I wanted to do it last week and needed to postpone it again that this week I needed to get the car into the shop first thing.Continue reading “22 May 2024”

The car’s oil has finally been changed! I’m bad with car maintenance and waited so long the car would give an alert every time it turns on, then I still drove it like that for another three thousand miles. There will be cars in the wild that have trash bags over a window or aContinue reading “20 May 2024”

The transition away from bottles for the baby this week has gone well. There was some struggling the first couple days, but after that she’s done great and I don’t think there’s been any resistance yesterday or today. She’s a great kid and we love her more everyday. We recorded the Wrecking and Rapping podcastContinue reading “17 May 2024”

When I laid down to rest yesterday I fell asleep for longer than I expected and at night I had a neck pain that I associate with the tick bite. This morning I was worried that the meat allergy was beginning, it’s been almost two weeks and three weeks is how long it took lastContinue reading “15 May 2024”

Another satisfying week, for the first time since I’ve moved here over two months ago I’ve finally mowed all of the grass on my property. The grass on the West side gets covered in shade by the tree line leaving it to grow slower. The bees are also on the West side making it theContinue reading “10 May 2024”

Yesterday’s post was about a memorial stone placed under an oak tree, here is a picture of the oak tree. The stone is being overtaken by the roots of the tree, when it was placed over 100 years ago wouldn’t have been nearly as big and now it dwarfs the house next to it. ThisContinue reading “9 May 2024”

When we were visiting our neighbor for eggs, they told us about a tombstone that was under a big oak tree. Yesterday, I found the stone and as it’s over 100 years old the tree has grown so large the roots are overtaking it. We were then able to find out who the person referencedContinue reading “8 May 2024”
