  • Who Does This?

    Last night some jerk shot out my front house window.  There were other cases of vandalism in the neighborhood.  The next night in a friends neighborhood someone came along and trashed a bunch of Christmas decorations.  You know I have done stupid stuff, but destroying people’s stuff just for the sake of destruction signals real […]

  • Thanksgiving

    This is my favorite holiday.  All about the food the way it should be.  This year we went to Fillmore.  The whole family was there.  With the exception of my youngest brother.  He is getting married soon and figured that he would eat with his soon to be in-laws.  Chicken.  Anyways, we got there at […]

  • Ain’t Nothing Like Fixing Stuff

    The brakes on my car have been metal on metal for a couple of weeks.  I have loathed to slow down or stop.  It was just the back brakes so I still could, stop that is.  I knew that the calipers were frozen and every time that happens I end up spending more than 300 […]

  • I Fought The Ground and The Ground Won

    I have been driving a guy at work nuts, big surprise right.  He went in on the purchase of some aluminum fencing with someone else here.  We have been bugging him for three summers if he has gotten his fence up.  This summer we even tried to force our way into a fencing party.  Anyway, […]

  • Suprise, suprise. suprise.

    So the reason that I made the chili yesterday was for our ward’s chili cook off.  I took it in posted my sign stating “This chili will hurt you use caution,” and enjoyed watching the reaction of the people.  I love sitting within earshot of the table hearing the people warning each other.  The teenagers […]

  • Scruch Your Way to Happiness.

    Fall always make me happy. It is a time when you can look at the garden failure of this year, and plot how next year things will be different. I am the biggest optimist that you will ever meet; I am pretty sure everything is work like crap, but I am going to give it […]

  • Snow in September

    No really it snowed here today. It didn’t stick but there was definite flakes coming down. The yard is Atrocious, but I am getting so wiped at work and then there is getting ready for the baby. Anyway other than learning how to water the lawn correctly this summer was a yard failure. Here’s hoping […]

  • Fall Fertilizer

    And no I’m not talking about elections. Although, it would solve many a farmers problems if you could bottle what the politicians say around this time of year. But I digress IFA Fertilizer is the best deal around. Don’t forget this really is the time to prep your lawn for a great next year.

  • Who Built My House?

    I think it must have been drunk cross-eyed monkeys.  I could not find a right angle in the whole basement.  The goal for the long weekend (I took a extra day so that I had a 4 day weekend) was to finish framing the bathroom downstairs.  It was a complete hassle.  I did truly enjoy […]

  • Invites and Suprise Acceptance

    So last week I invited Craig to come down and have a BBQ at the homestead.  Yesterday, I thought to myself I really should invite Wayne also.  After all he does live in the valley so I called and no answer.  Then I thought I really should invite Wendy and Rob.  So I called and […]
