Planet Wait Forever
Tried trading in one of the motorcycles for a snowblower today. another fine use for the trailer No dice. They said it’s too old, so now I have a motorcycle for sale (again). We had fun anyway. Abigail and I tried out the CRF50Fs. Then it wasn’t so fun sitting around forever waiting for the […]
Electrical Fix
The electrical sub-contractor that made a mess of the back of my house finally came back out this week to fix things. Since the mess, I’d been withholding the remaining 2/3 payment on the install. It’s not like it didn’t work, but it looked like crap. The guy that did it, just threw things together […]
Sleeping the Night
Dare I say we’ve achieved this elusive goal? For about a week now we’ve managed to make it to at least 4:30am before the first waking. It’s almost weird having all those hours of quiet, but I’m sure we’ll get used to it. – b

Little Known Fact
