So I’ve been dying to try out my helmet cam on a walk with Sascha.  I was hoping the video would be cool.  I got a chance a few days back. And yes, the video turned out great.  Then I spent a couple of days under the weather and didn’t get a chance to get the […]

Tis the season.  Started my Christmas cards for this year.  It’s a little harder trying to do them with my right hand.  You can read it, but it’s more like a First Grader wrote them.  Hope my friends and family understand.  My help just wasn’t into helping tonight.  All except for Sascha.  She was lying […]

We had been joking around that we should have a helmet cam for dog scootering.  So guess what I got for my birthday?  A helmet cam!!  I loved it. I’ve been spending the past few days messing around with the camera.  Today, Rick took me through editing my files.  He’s the video editor in the […]

Tomorrow is my traditional day to put up the Christmas tree.  However, we are going downtown Chicago to Piece Brewery and Pizza for my birthday.  That meant I had to get the guys in gear to pull down the Christmas tree and all the boxes to decorate today. I have made it Rick’s job to […]

So the other day, I left Sascha outside to keep watch on those pesky squirrels.  After a while, I figured she should have had enough.  What did I see?  A hole about a foot deep right where I had dug up my dahlias this fall!  It looked like a bomb crater with dirt thrown out […]

Today is the Thanksgiving fest at work.  This is the annual pitch-in lunch with the office staff.  My boss, Cathy, drives everyone to participate with great results.  We usually have a ton of very interesting choices for the meal.  So Rich deep fried turkeys for last year’s meal.  It went over really well.  Everyone who […]

So I’ve been wearing this short arm cast for 4 weeks on Sunday (1113).  I can’t believe how much this thing bothers me.  I’m extremely claustrophobic and having this plastic touching my skin is unbearable.  The first few days was very hard,  As I come down to the last few days, it’s even worse! Amazingly, […]

So on Thursday, we had our first taste of snow.  It didn’t stick here, but the white stuff was flying from time to time.  It  was probably one of the chillest days so far.  That makes it kind of late around here.  I usually do all of my fall work in October.  Because of my […]

The installers completed the gutters and soffits on the house.  It looks amazing.  It’s a small thing, but these tend to add up on a house.  We had the standard dark brown soffit and gutters. I just have a different picture in my head of what I want the house to look like.  The siding […]

I know, I said the blog was going to be about Sascha and our new sport, dog scootering.  Something else came up though.  One of the storms this summer tore branches from the big Freeman maple tree in the front yard.  One of those branches bent up the gutter over the front door pretty good.  Rich […]
