- You’d think that it wouldn’t take two days, four trips to the lumber yard, and two back aches to build a step/platform that is 6 inches high, 39 inches wide, and 79 inches long, but it did.
- I really need to buy a table saw.
- There is a fine line between “Can you help me pick out the correct screw for the project I’m doing?” and “How do I do the project my wife wants me to do?” when you agree to answer a question posed by a young man at the hardware store.
- Little did he know that I’m just as clueless as him.
- They don’t make concrete like they used to.
- It took a lot of time to drill a two-inch pilot hole in the 60-year-old top of our porch. The same hole took about 10 seconds to drill in the 8-year-old sidewalk next to it.
- Fall has reached that “Too cold to just wear a tee-shirt, too warm to wear a sweater when you’re working outside” stage.
- I noticed yesterday that the plastic that protects the fiber optic cable we use at work is the same color and consistency as the Hot Wheels tracks I played with as a kid. I always wondered where those things went.
- Taking two four-year-old boys to a farm to pick pumpkins, run up and down a hay-bale pyramid, ride ponies, and eat hot dogs was the most enjoyable thing we’ve done as a family in a long time.
- Famous dad last words “Yes, you may get whatever pumpkin you want, but you have to carry it.”
- Girlie Bear got a pumpkin that was almost as heavy as Boo.
- Made another batch of spaghetti sauce with the last of the tomatoes and peppers from the garden. Looks like we’ll be pulling out everything next weekend.
- It is infinitely more enjoyable to do canning when it’s not over 100 degrees out and humid.
- Plans for next year’s garden expansion are already underway.
- I also need a small backhoe.
- Bluegrass has never been a bird dog, but she does know how to point at the hot air balloon she wants me to blow out of the sky so she can retrieve it.
- Looks like I’ll finish the initial phase of the porch project just in time to begin leaf raking season.
- I have been informed that I am forbidden to hang a deer from the new porch.
- A cat will never admit that she misjudged the distance between the easy chair and the couch, even when you watch her fall short and have to scramble to not face plant.
