Stalled on the flooring. My wife is waiting for the underlayment to come. Once it comes, then she needs to get the actual flooring. But I’m guessing this will be done by this weekend or early next week. We go to Hawaii next week so it needs to done before then. This is a concrete garage floor. She is not putting down linoleum, but…[Read more]

My wife’s preschool (located in our garage) is having the flooring ripped up. Hoping to get that replaced this week. I guess we’ll see word.

Sunny and calm here. The area is getting ready for the All Star game. Transit will be free which is no surprise. All the drug addicts ride for free and do their drugs while doing so. They are cleaning up some of the camps around the area of the ballpark but I heard those folks will stage a protest. So we’ll see word.

My plan worked. It was a restful day. Word.

Planning a restful day on the 4th word.

70’s and sunny here. Lovin’ it word.

Yes Congrats AC. Nice haul RYou.

We just had a quiet weekend and spent yesterday trying to figure out our trip to Italy. Accomodations are getting tough to find word.

I worked last night until about 9:30 to move a sprinkler head. Didn’t finish. But I was out there quite awhile. I think I started the job at 8:00 after going to dinner with my wife and doing some Home Depot runs.

We start after labor day and end 3rd week of June. It sometimes goes longer because we don’t plan for snow days. Well, they did, and call it mid winter break in Feb. Those days were originally set aside as snow days. But now the week off is expected so we essentially have no snow days added to the schedule and taken away if they are not used.…[Read more]

Yeah, I remember we moved from AL to Seattle, I went to 1-5 grades in Hunstville and we got out in May. So I was excited for 6th grade to end in May. Culture shock!!!! We didn’t get out until the middle of June. It was a horrible realization for a kid. Yep, it is rough for kids around here word.

Raining here currently on the last day of school. High of 58 today. Never fails word.

On June 2, 2023, I said the following:
“Sunny and warm here. I’ll betcha that the rain will come the week school lets out. It happens every year since I went to school. Word.”

Yesterday it rained and the high was supposed to be 58 but it was a scorching 60. In fact it rained and was cold on Saturday as well. Why? Because school lets out t…[Read more]

Celebrated our Daughter’s B-day yesterday at a local place called Hops and Drops. We don’t drink alcohol so that part is wasted on us. I had pork rib tips and fries. It was pretty good word.

AC – There are many kinds and many prices. My kids got me the cheapest on the market I think. Runs on propane. Very simple. I have to get wood chips that sit right above the propane and the meat goes above that. Nothing fancy, no thermostats, temp control. There is a thermometer that tells me how hot it is inside. And even with that,…[Read more]

So on thursday I put in 3 pork butts into my smoker at about 8:30pm. I let that thing fly overnight, and checked in the morning. It was looking good. All three got to temp at different times. Why did I do this? My wife held her preschool graduation on Saturday and we made the pulled pork. It was really good. I have to say, I have not…[Read more]

Oregon is full service by law. However they just passed a law a few years ago that places that are way out there can be self serve. So the eastern part of the state is self serve as far as I know. Portland and places south of there are still full serve word.

Yeah, we’ve had that with BC fires the last few years, not this year though. Perhaps they need to clean their forests better.

On another note, I was able to successfully change the rear brakes on my wife’s car. Total brake replacement, caliper, rotor, carrier, and pads. Real tough due to the emergency brake cable. That is a real pain…[Read more]
