Pool Work
Trying to do some pool work. Jen’s been painting the pool shed, which looks great. Makes me want to dig up a picture of what it looked like previously. Here’s a link. I’ve even started on finishing the deck. This end is a mess from a leveling perspective. Technically I should probably take it all […]
New Routines
Any sign of fitness for me has been long gone. Tasks of exertion not only leave me winded, but nearly down for the count. Time for something new. I went with the old standby. Easy enough to do and build slowly. The hardest part is making it a habit. There’s so much going on. It’s […]
Spare the Critters
For those with access to our Flickr, I’m going to stop the critter camera updates unless something interesting shows up. For the most part we get foxes, raccoons, opossums, deer, rabbits, squirrels, cats, and an occasional ground hog. Some interesting observations: Everything but the cats get along fairly well. I’ve seen a number of shots where […]
WV Again
Headed to WV again with the girls for a long weekend. The original plan was to hit the state fair, but the weather and timing didn’t cooperate (the sunny days were the first days of the fair – too crowded). Instead we did things like the Cass Scenic Railroad and a coal mining tour. The […]
Black Rims! Punch Buggy! Convertible!
The girls have a number of games they play while in the car. The basic one is scoring points for seeing various automobile characteristics like roof top boxes, convertibles, and cars with black rims. They don’t actually keep track, but they’re constantly on the look out and calling them out. Then there’s punch buggies of […]
No Fitbit
Right before I left for Dublin my Fitbit died and I was unable to get a new one. I haven’t been without a Fitbit for at least 5 years. It’s kind of weird and kind of ok at the same time. I definitely like knowing where I’m at in regards to steps each day, but […]
Dublin Too
Spent the last week in Dublin for work. I really liked Ireland. Not exactly sure why, but I did. The technical market over there is very unlike what we have here in the Philadelphia area. Everywhere you went there were conversations and opportunities for really advanced stuff. Stuff we should be doing. Stuff we need […]
Lost Her Own Tooth
Abigail lost her first tooth this week. Didn’t have it pulled. No dentist intervention. It came out on its own. She was super excited. Me not so much. Not looking forward to the adult teeth coming in. Not looking to forward to the growing up. – b
Summer Eclipse 2017
Jen got the special glasses and they all watched what they could see in Pennsylvania. I was in Dublin all week, so no eclipse for me. My Dad in Tennessee got a really nice picture. – b
