I kind of forgot about it too since I pushed it up the shelf a little to make sure nothing happened to it. I'm glad you like it and hope you eat a lot of salads out of it. 😏

Kurt is besties with “Jack”. (Not the authors real name.) I heard Cruiser Outfitters is going to get one of those in book ads here real soon.

The library doesn’t have any other of the clavell books. I was going to check out tai-pan. The app gives stats and when I finished shogun it said it took me 21 hours. I don’t know if that means I read slow or not but it took a solid week. I read that book from Kurt in an afternoon/evening. Oh...

I've read a fair amount over the holidays and while I have school to deal with. Jack Carr, finished until the next one comes out. -The Devils Hand -Only the Dead -In the Blood Started King Rat by James Clavell. Wasn't really in to it. Jumped into "The Boys in the Boat" by Daniel...

I'm surprised it's lasted this long. He had the strap on his wrist so he dropped the controller and swung it and he hit his new teeter popper thing which broke it. I'm more than happy to share the tools of anyone ever has a need.

My 3 year old threw a fit a couple weeks back when it was time to be done playing switch and threw the mini joycon that he was playing with. It broke the top of the joystick off. These are the controllers that slide on the sides of the screen to make it mobile and he uses those ones because he...

I'll let you know if a couple of weeks. Its be a few years since I've been up there too. They want to do 5 or 6 camp outs a year after not doing any last year. I was with them 2022 and we did one overnight and one 3 day backpacking trip. We're a fairly small group so we combine all ages for...

So I got put back in to young mens at church so I'll have several opportunities for campfire meditation in the coming months. The first being in just a few weeks (Jan 26). We're planning to go up to Ophir and hope we can get up the canyon and to the camp spot.

That panel is awesome @J-mobzz. I've sewed here and there. Mostly using ripped out pants. I made a bag for my hot dog roasters and pie irons. A few zippered pouches for tool bags and whatnot. My MIL gave my wife and her sister sewing machines for Christmas one year. I used it more than my wife...

For his sake I hope they bought back in before rates jumped that high, but he certainly lost out on a bunch of equity. I didn't know them well enough to keep in contact but I've thought about them more that I would have expected. We sold our house about 18 months after he did and made an...

Maybe I already shared this but our backyard neighbor sold their house in early 2017 because house prices had risen and he didn't think they were going to hold. They moved into an apartment to ride it out thinking in a year or so he would be able to buy low. Looking back we know what happened...

I hear you on the things that give you purpose. Wood turning does that for me. So does mowing the lawn and weeding the gardens. The local turning club does a Christmas exchange that I was pretty excited about. Take something you've made and then get something from someone else at random. I...

FREE We've asked family and folks around us if they need any of this stuff without success. We moved our youngest to a real bed a few weeks ago and would love to move some of this stuff along. The crib has been through two boys. The first boy was pretending to be a beaver and bit the top rail...

I know buying a house with an actual wood fireplace is pretty rare but I wish I had one. I love sitting in camp late into the night staring into the flames. I've got an outdoor deal, but I wish I had one in the house too. I'd love to cozy up next to the fireplace with a book.

So I had typed this up a couple times over the last few months but didn't want to post it because it sounded to whiney and "poor me." That's not what I'm going for and it isn't the point of all this. I decided that today I could share how difficult the process has been for me because Christmas...

I've struggled a lot this year with low self esteem and depression. I mentioned in the spring that we wanted to take our boys to Disneyland in 2024 and to try and make that a possibility I worked at dominos delivering pizzas. As the summer got warm, the car I was delivering in doesn't have AC so...

I waited for a neighbor to get home from work and borrowed his bars. I got the two springs switched over and it's lifting and closing with the motor but one side is raising a little more. I am going to read up on it and try and get that adjusted out. I didn't ruin Christmas working on the door...

If that's the case I'll pull both springs from the door I don't use and just put them on the broke one. After moving in and getting my tools in the garage I unplugged the "shop" garage door motor and have never used it. So they are basically new.

My 5 year old garage door spring broke yesterday. I think I'm going to move the spring from the door that we don't use (my wood shop space) to the broke one. I don't have the metal bars to tension the spring. Does anyone have those I can borrow? Its a double wide door with 2 springs. Just...

Yeah looks like its a 6 week wait for "The Devils Hand." I could swing by today during my lunch (11-12ish) if you see this before you head in. I've seriously cut back my youtube-ing at work and have replaced that time with school and reading. The semester is over (FINALLY) so I've got time...
