No hole in the bucket, but my window wasn’t working in the Jeep. Drivers side.  Real handy for getting into the parking garage and going through Drive-Thru’s (if I actually did that any more).  I thought for sure the motor was burnt out, it had been binding up a bit lately and I figured I… Continue reading »

Almost. Nathan has been wanting a pet for some time, but we wouldn’t even consider anything that had… fur.  I’d take a snake, but Jess wasn’t so keen on that.  There’s always fish, but they take a lot of work and you can’t handle them so much… I don’t think? So we settled on a… Continue reading »

I actually remembered the Jeep Registration this year. On time!  We always go over with both our vehicles for some reason. Busy?  Probably the biggest reason I remembered it was the fact that I still have a repair to do before I can get it inspected.  And they all come at once for the Jeep,… Continue reading »

Video from the Ragged Mountain hike in Camden.  Yes, I know the soundtrack is monotonous, just like the grueling, grinding hike up the mountain. [Click the photo to view the video on Blip]

..would you? So today I had the chance to teach my boy something we did as a kid.  Jumping off the roof.  We just received about eighteen inches of snow, so the banks were high and prime for a roof launched landing.  I grabbed the ladder and packed it in the snow and up we… Continue reading »

When I was in seventh grade I played the male lead role in a play with the same title as this post. That’s all I remember about it, the title. Last night the wind slammed the house and banged and knocked on the logs into the morning.  We woke to snow and lots of it. … Continue reading »

And it wasn’t from me (this time). We came home from church last night and before I went inside, I fixed my garage door that wasn’t latching. (yay!)  When I came in, my head was clear from all the fresh air I had just breathed and I was met at the door with an unpleasant… Continue reading »

Another “result” of changing the spending habits around here.  I used to enjoy an occasional $1.89 Virgil’s Cream Soda, but those extravagances are a thing of the past (for now).  Now I’m back to Wal-Mart twelve packs, about $0.21/can. I have to have caffiene free, otherwise I pay for it in loss of sleep.  So… Continue reading »

A real simple dish.  Here… here’s the breakdown… 9×13 pan a package of chicken tenders a stick of butter a couple eggs crackers to crumble, at add salt/pepper/garlic powder Bathe the chicken in an egg bath, roll in the cracker crumbs, lay in the… Continue reading »

Well, I was beginning to wonder if it would ever come.  We hadn’t had any plow-able snow until today.  Not sure what we received, maybe eight inches.  I worked from home today, and we all were pretty much suffering from being pent up.  Any excuse I could find to leave the house, I was going… Continue reading »
