Recently I opted to try and save some money by fixing my car myself. I borrowed a tool from the local auto parts store to remove a special bolt but it was too big. I was too lazy to go back to the store to get the right one. Instead I tried to augment the […]
My wife and I decided to remodel the bathroom. After much deliberation with my wife, and her scouring the local stores for materials, we came to an agreement on the tile and vanity for the bathroom.
We went to the first hardware store to get the tile. They were out but noted another of […]
So last night my wife and I went to pick up our kids who were visiting their Aunt. My youngest greeted me with a ripe diaper. I opened the back hatch of our Ford Explorer and began to change her. As I was taking her out the glass hatch fell. I blocked it from striking […]
It costs money to use the name darkcloud.com and recently the registration for the name came due. I went to my registrar to pay the fee. I entered my credit card information and it prompted me with some extra security questionnaire. I filled it out as well. I’m sure all my information […]

I asked my brother-in-law to help with a walkway recently. I was happily surprised to learn my father-in-law and two other brothers-in-law would also be assisting. All have been well seasoned working for my father-in-law in construction, but man power and talent are no match for Darkcloud.
As we completed the forming of the […]
Thursday, as I related my previous excuse for not making it to the gym, my friend informed me he would be unable to make it Friday and that I would be on my own. I had skipped Tuesday because he was not going to make it, and since I missed Thursday I decided to […]
