Spring 2014 To Do List
“I can’t wait to get all this stuff done, so we can get all the other stuff done.” is a common quote around here. Task Priority Description Date Completed Have fun. Play with kids. High Clean garage gutters. There are weeds growing in them High Privacy fence High Fix the Subaru door lights High […]
Quantifying the Yardwork
The ice storm we had back in February was quite a doozy. People all over our area are still working hard to get things cleaned up. You can hardly drive a hundred yards without seeing a pile of limbs waiting at the edge of the road for chipping. Over the course of the last four […]
Here We Go Again
I should have played the lottery yesterday. The 6″ chippers at Home Depot have been very difficult to get this spring. I checked a few times throughout the week and was told there might be one available Friday night, but there’s no guarantee. At 8pm I called and it was there. By the time I […]
Running Again
Started running again. I think it was 2 years ago I tried this. It’s for the same reasons – limited amount of time, want to get/be fit, etc. Jen’s doing it as well. She has this cool “Run a 5k in 8 Weeks” app she’s following. I’m just running. Little more each time I go. […]
Not Good
I suppose with 188,000 miles on my car there’s bound to be some issues. The open door indicator lights are related to the accident I had in 2008, where some guy T-boned me in an intersection. The front passenger started appearing last year. Now the rear passenger is happening. The doors are closed and locked, […]
Solar Update
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. The power company changed my meters back in October and set my calculations all out of whack. Never really felt like doing much about it until now. As you can see, and probably expect, this year’s production and the end of last year is/was below […]
Lost Remote
We got one of these fancy idiot boxes a while back. Problem is we’ve lost the remote. Not like it’s super important. We’ve gone weeks now without finding it. Makes you wonder why we got it in the first place. – b
Outdoor Climb
Got outside on rock for the first time this year. Little shaky on lead. Probably should have done more leading in the gym over the winter. Craig climbed on rock for the first time since he was 18. Yes. That’s almost as long as I’ve been alive. Looking forward to more days out and hopefully […]
Peddle Progress
Abigail managed to start herself on her bike today. She did it a few times, and pedaled around the oak tree to head herself back down the driveway. It wasn’t without controversy of course. She has a tendency to say things like “I can’t”, when what she really means is “I don’t want to”. I’m […]
