My day off… and basic septic plumbing October 2, 2013

If you can identify the subject of the photo then you can probably appreciate the unpleasant job I got to spend my day off dealing with. Replacement pump is now installed and working along with an alarm which will hopefully help me head off any future problems before I have standing water in the basement. […]

it makes me a jolly good fellow December 18, 2008

I have a new hobby. I’ve been talking about doing this for about fifteen years or more and I just recently passed the spouse-approval test! I wasted no time and immediately went out and spent about $250 to get the equipment and supplies needed to brew beer. Yep, that’s right. I said brew beer. Beer. […]

fail November 2, 2008

I wrote awhile ago about fixing my dryer. I have to admit that I felt pretty good about that and when my washer quit spinning, I figured “no problem. I’ll have this one licked by sundown.” I tore the machine apart and determined what the problem was: a broken plastic part that coupled the motor […]

two awesome days June 23, 2008

Father’s day got me a special treat – I got to take the family to the Crystal Airport for it’s annual open house. Warbirds, homebuilts, helicopters and hot dogs. Couldn’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday. Just one week later we went to the Field of Dreams Airport in Hinckley for an […]

going to sears isn’t always fun April 1, 2008

A loud squealing and rattling sound from the laundry room on Friday changed my weekend. Instead of hanging out with the kids and working on cleaning out the garage in anticipation of spring, I got to learn all sorts of things about our dryer. Turns out that it’s a relatively simple machine and that there […]

new ways to watch too much tv February 4, 2008

I love my TiVo. The convenience of being able to watch what I want, when I want, how I want is really incredible. And for someone who has surely helped to increase the average number of American viewing hours, that really means something. I have always watched a lot of television. Most of it was […]

dance, money. dance like you never danced before October 27, 2007

I’ve found a solution to one of the Windows problems I mentioned. I’ve now replaced Quicken with a cross-platform solution called Moneydance. Moneydance uses Java, so it runs on Windows, Mac and Linux boxen with all the same features. One of the things in Quicken that I really would have missed was the debt reduction […]

bar none October 26, 2007

Ever since we moved and I started my new job, coworkers who knew we used to live in Northfield have been very resourceful in finding news articles that seem to point out the absurd situations and people related to that community. Occasionally, I find some on my own. Like this one from the Locally Grown […]
