Continue reading →: Road trippinWe got a late start, but we’re on our way to visit my sister, Megan, and her family in Florida for spring break. I’ve been relegated to the back seat, but I don’t mind; it’s kinda nice actually. All the snacks are back here, I can listen to my book…

Continue reading →: Nothing is ever easyWe’re supposed to leave for Florida on Saturday to visit my sister and her family as well as a few days at Disney World, and of course something goes sideways a day before we leave. The temperature outside has gone up today and the house was getting warmer all day.…

Continue reading →: Side tableI finished the California casual patio side table I have been working on today. The last coat of spar is on and drying as I type this. I’m really happy with how it turned out… You can see in the gallery above how it went from rough cutting the lumber…

I think getting out of the Navy requires more Dr. visits than getting in does. Probably because the Navy ages you horribly while you’re serving. Everything hurts nowadays. I…

Continue reading →: Figuring things outTonight I was able to finish (well mostly) my basic mobile workbench. The glue is drying on the top, then it will need attached to the frame and I’ll put on the casters and clean it up a bit. I modified the designs a bit from the plans I got…

Continue reading →: One step at a timeI always have little projects around the house to keep me busy. Sometimes my projects are bigger and take more time to see them to completion. One such project is my basic mobile workbench or BMW. I started on it back in January, then it got cold, and I was…

Continue reading →: Weekends are never long enoughAs my favorite, flabby, orange, tabby would say, “Whoever invented the five-day work-week should be drug out into the street and shot.” It feels like the weekend just got started and it’s already over. I didn’t get all the things done I needed to accomplish this weekend. 😩 Where in…

Continue reading →: Bad omens?On the way to work today, two little birds flittered out of a tree and right into the windshield of my car. I felt so bad afterwards I almost stopped to see if they were okay. Maybe I’ve been reading too much fantasy lately, but it made me wonder what…
