    The shed is up on what I hope is a somewhat more secure foundation. There’s a heavy concrete block under each corner and in the middle of each side, and a thick piece of timber runs under frames along two of the outside walls and down the middle. I could have run timbers around all… Read.

    Meat People was serving a special fried chicken dinner this afternoon, so My Darling B and I quit our yard work early, cleaned up and headed over to The Muskellounge and Sporting Club to enjoy some delicious cold drinks while we waited for dinner to be served. It was well worth the wait. Read.

    My Darling B needed a garden shed for all her shovels and rakes (and implements of destruction) so we bought a kit to make one from a local hardware store and I put it together in the back yard about fifteen years ago. When we bought it, I asked the guy at the hardware store… Read.

    There was a special at the Muskellounge and Sporting Club last night: Meat People was selling three kinds of burritos out of a food truck in the parking lot and My Darling B wanted to eat at least one of them, so off we went. She had the beef burrito, I had the chorizo, and… Read.

    “How did Tim guess ‘guppy’ on the second try with just one letter?” B wondered aloud in the car on the way home from work today. “Well I guess I won’t be playing Wordle today,” I responded dryly. Read.
