  • D & D

    My two big accomplishments today were taking a trip to the dump and going to the dentist. Despite my day being centered around these two events (and having a headache all day), I actually had a really nice day. When I …

  • Ouch! Revisited

    I've been planning to show my knee scar a year after the injury, but the anniversary came and went unnoticed a couple weeks ago. I thought it had been October of last year when my new roof went on the covered patio, b…

  • Mid-Week Boredom

    Not much going on in my life right now. My home improvements are somewhat stalled. Some recent chilly nights have reminded me that I have no heat in my home. My big bathroom is still gutted with no tile progress to re…

  • Johnny Makes A New Friend

    Okay, so I don't really ever go by Johnny, though I did have a little old lady neighbor that called me that when I was a kid. And "makes a new friend" isn't really that accurate. Actually, Dan is somebody I've known fo…

  • An Irritable Boy

    I think it is a bit soon to call me a cranky old man, but I do find myself getting more easily irritated as I get older. It started early this morning when my sprinkler system woke me up. When I have the timer set, it …

  • Plant Killer

    Yesterday afternoon I removed two bushes from my property. Actually, they're still on my property, but in several pieces and no longer attached to the ground. I've given much thought to the fate of these two formerly l…

  • I'm Such An Idiot

    When I bought my home a few years back, I also bought a microwave to fit in a little space in my kitchen that was designed for just such an appliance. It is a nice looking little stainless affair that I bought second ha…

  • Finishing Touches

    I'm really good at almost finishing projects and my tiny bath off my bedroom is one such project. I finished painting in the shower several weeks ago and still haven't used it. One thing that bathroom needed was a towe…
