…big broken windows. My kids have broken a small pane of glass in our door several times. But recently my daughter was playing around and whacked the new (about two years old) double paned, inert gas filled, custom fit, vinyl window in her room. The good news is I can’t replace it myself, the bad […]
…since they are mostly immobile and can’t help it. So in the last week or so the following has occurred: My youngest who broke her left femur last August broke her left foot last Thursday. We got one of those above ground summer pools. It came with a ladder and my daughter jumped off it […]
I have special shoes that clip onto my pedals for my bike, and the stationary cycle at the gym. I have forgotten them several times to bring them to the gym. This often results in a crummy workout because my feet hurt and my athletic shoe does not transfer the effort to the […]
I am gearing up for a trip to go mountain biking. I do not get out much, and I have not put a whole lot of money aside from the bare essentials into this hobby. So need a lot of gear. Fortunately there are many sales as spring is emerging. Unfortunately this creates a lot […]

My daughter had a birthday recently. We decided to get her first bicycle. My wife bought one while she was at preschool a couple a weeks back. We hid it in the back of one of my cars that isn’t running. Since it’s been that way for some time the thick layer of dust over […]
So we went and got a dog a few weeks ago. We heard about him through a friend who thought it was about a half hour drive away. It turned out to be about an hour. When we arrived everything appeared to be in order. The dog is a cute beagle. He was very friendly […]
So I needed to build a fence for the backyard. I figured this time I would do it right and buy the right tools. The only problem is I don’t want to pay for the professional tools. So I head on down to the discount tool store. I picked up an air compressor and nail gun.
