sneaky
I had a hankering for a big plate of tater tots after work, and the one place that serves the very best tater tots in town is the Vintage brewery, where they also happen to sell their very own house-made beer. We were lucky enough to drop in when they were serving the most delicious… Read.

lunchable
After a long Friday banging away at the keyboard to (nearly) finish up the projects that have taken us all week to get through, it was finally time to clock out and start to enjoy the weekend a little bit. We went back to the Muskellounge and Sporting Club for a couple of beers and… Read.

the camping thing – progress 5/6/23

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.

fwoosh
The hamburgers My Darling B bought for our first cookout of the season were the size of manhole covers and were at least eighty-five percent fat, which means that before I could finish slapping all eight of them on the grill they erupted into the biggest grease fire we’ve ever seen. I had to keep… Read.

camping thing progress 4/29/23
It’s all little steps these days. I had just two goals yesterday after work: put the bottoms in the two boxes I built last week, and cut a lid for the battery box. They weren’t big goals, so it’s no big surprise I managed to reach them both. That’s how I keep projects moving: break… Read.

progress 4/23/23
It looks like it’s just photos of boxes, one after the other, but honestly I’m making real progress now. Five out of five boxes built; two completed (although I might slap another coat of poly on them); two nearly completed (slapped a coat of poly on them today & will attach the lids on hinges… Read.
