  • Window Well of Death

    Every week or so I rescue amphibians from the “Window Well of Death”.  Other days I think the local raccoons dine on the amphibians in the window well. Today while checking on the sump pumps during the big wind storm I found a salamander in the WWD along with a frog and a toad. He […]

  • Remembering Dad

    Cleaning off my desk yesterday I found some photos of Dad and Sally from Labor Day of 2002. Today is the day he passed so it was nice to find the photos. Dad was really proud of the work he did on Sally. Going for a ride smoking a cig.  Dad started young with smoking […]

  • Driving Lessons for Rick

    Today Rick and I washed Sally.  Afterword we went to a small hamburger joint and had cheese burgers and chocolate malts.  Then I decided it was time for him to learn how to drive stick.  Since I have been driving stick shift cars for most of my life it thought it would be easy for […]

  • Pumpkin Ale Update

    The pumpkin ale is kegged and resting until Thanksgiving day. Also had some extra ale so I put it in bottles to give away around the Holidays. Even though it was warm and non-carbonated the taste was quite pleasant.  It should be a hit at Thanksgiving.

  • Volo Bog Hike

    My family hike around Volo Bog.

  • Stade’s Farm

    Enjoyed spending time with my family at Stade’s Farm.  We found all the answers to questions in the corn maze and won a pumpkin.  Shooting the corn cannon was fun.  I think they would be easy to make. Stade’s Farm

They will be sold as a set that includes two speakers, two speaker stands, and one equalizer. These speakers don’t sound right with out the equalizer.  Three years ago over the holidays I replaced all […]

  • Sofie

    Sofie is getting old. She is having heart problems. It is kind of sad around here. She is our second dog and she is a very good dog despite being a beagle. She was never sick and tried to behave. When her time is up she will be missed by us.

  • Katrina Story

    Yesterday I sold the Sally’s old front tires to a guy named Tim. He hauls cars as a side job. He is from Nashville TN. So I asked him if the flooding this spring affect him. They had a 1000 year flood there. He said no, but then he tells me he is originally from […]
