Months

The past few months have been kind of a blur for me. Summers are usually that way. When I was little summers felt like they lasted a lifetime, but now it feels like just a short pause in the year, even though it’s anything but. Finn coming into the world has made time go by [...]

Hello

Nothing new going on. Back at work and about to start studying seriously for my CCNA, definitely need to get back in the habit of  studying for tests. Harvesting some tomatoes and reading a good bit of random things. Currently reading The Hound of the Baskervilles for which I’m a huge fan of so far. [...]

Harvest

Baby was born last Thursday. His name is Finn Edward Dean. He’s the best baby in the whole wide world. The garden is doing pretty well. So far we’ve harvested quite a few cucumbers, which are very very good. We’ve got some bell peppers and a couple of egg plants that should be ready in [...]

Bike Tension

Over the past 2 weeks I have ridden my bike to and from work on several days. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time but always came up with some dumb excuse not to do it or was just too afraid in general. I’m not really sure what I did [...]

Grass

Grass is starting to grow in the front yard and I’m super excited…pictures to come in due time. I played Mass Effect (1) last weekend and was totally blown away. Probably one the best games I’ve ever played. Also probably one of the only RPGs (hybrid?) I’ve actually finished. I think I need to work [...]

Garden Pictures and Diagram

Here are some pictures taken today of the garden progress. The filled box has two rows of Spinach that we planted earlier this week, nothing has come up as of yet though. Also below is a diagram of our planting arrangement and a snapshot of the compost progress – it’s coming a long nicely. Click [...]

School and Garden

I need not apologize for lack of update as I’ve been hard at work doing other things…Had I been lazy and not doing other things then a firm dose of discipline would be in order, but that’s not the case, so on to the updates. Over the past several weeks I’ve been studying and taking [...]

Curb Appeal

While I’ve been composting for the past few weeks another outdoor project has been looming above me…the front yard. A few months back we had a driveway poured, and while this resolved the bulk of our front yard problems, it left a larger problem for the rest of the yard. The plan was to lay [...]

Compost Happens

Several years ago, there was a station wagon that was covered from side to side with bumper stickers (on the back). I saw this wagon quite often rummaging about Greenwood, and I was fond of reading the various extreme, anti-government, we can-do-it-ourselves types of messages plastered about, but the one that I was most fond [...]

Happenings

Not much happening right now. Studying for MS 70-291 which I plan to take by month’s end. At which point I will be done with PTC forever. Finished painting the baby’s room this past weekend. A nice cool blue named “inhale”. I’ll post pictures when we have more decorations up. Share this thought… Hide Sites [...]
