Not Bad
Tried out my Pat’s Backcountry Beverage kit last night. Overall it wasn’t bad. The shortcomings probably had more to do with my preparation than the system itself – more carbonation, colder water, etc. Now I need to plan a trip to actually try it out. – b
More JBF
Jen did really well at the last sale. Sold tons of stuff. Doing it again at another location, but this time I got recruited to help with setup. Apparently you get “extra points” sending a man for setup. – b
Lauren Loves You
All day long it’s: “Mommy, I love you.” “Daddy, I love you.” “Grandma, I love you.” Over and over and over. I should stop and listen more. – b
Leave No One Behind
Have had the worst in house mouse problem this winter in years. I’m guessing it was the unseasonably cold February. So I’ve set a couple of traps and caught a couple of the buggers, but something interesting takes place each time. Take last night for example. I set three traps. This morning after getting up […]
Spring Snow
A handful of inches of heavy wet snow on Friday made for some fun Saturday morning. Though temperatures in the 50’s made sure most of it was gone by the afternoon. See all of yesterdays fun in the gallery here. – b
Yuck Mouth
Went to the dentist for the first time in 18 months the other day. The outcome was to be expected. My teeth require (I think) 19 “procedures”. That’s everything from a crown to surface cavities. After all that I’ll need a mouth guard to protect it at night while I’m grinding my teeth in my […]
Fire, Fire, Fire!
Made a mistake this morning. Knew it when I did it, but I was in a hurry. Poured hot ashes from the pellet stove on the compost. By 4 pm it was a blazing fire. By 4:15 pm it was out. Jen and her mother took care of most of it. Abigail helped make sure […]
Next Winter’s Plan
We’ll see how it goes, but this is what I’m thinking. On Wednesdays, I night climb at The Narrows – every Wednesday that it’s in. On Fridays, I pick up Abigail from school and we ski for a couple of hours. At least that’s the plan. – b
Cool Cat
Seems like it’s been months since we’ve seen the sun, but now that it’s here… Lu needs some shades. – b
Spring JBF
Jen has her stuff all labeled and packed up for the spring Just Between Friends sale. It’s been another string of late nights, but she’s got 300+ items for sale. She be good to pay for next seasons additions. – b
