It’s Monday morning and damn if we didn’t just have a great weekend – though a little on the weird side. At this point I’m a little sunburned and a little chafed (damn you protective webbing on the swimsuit… damn you to hell!!!) but man was it fun. Friday: After work and dinner on Friday night, we needed to take Mom’s truck to the Nissan dealership so they could work on it Saturday morning. After … Continue reading
Yesterday morning my dad, mom, brother and I rented a log splitter and worked for about 5 hours splitting about two and a half cords of wood.

This is GREAT for connecting with the kids… not so great for ensuring that the wife and I are on the same page from a parenting perspective. I’ve said … Continue reading
Today is the Tuesday after the long Memorial Day weekend. For my money there’s nothing better than a long holiday weekend when the weather is nice. Here’s a couple of observations from ol Chewie: People don’t recognize the importance of Memorial Day nearly often enough.
