It was supposed to be the big race. Sparx challenged Todd to a footrace in the K99 parking lot. They even bet donuts on it. We video of how it turned out.

2017 was a busy year. I learned a lot when it came to DIY and woodworking. I have only been making stuff in my garage for little over a year now and the garage went from a place for our cars to sleep, to a nearly full blown woodshop. I thought I would keep myself motivated on making new things by sharing some of the projects that I did in 2017...

Last night while I was doing some work in the garage, like I usually do, I lose track of time concentrating on the job at hand and giving myself some time to reflect on life. I think about the past, the future and who I am and why I am who I am...

We were driving down 392 yesterday between Greeley and Windsor going about 65mph. As we were nearing Windsor, I had my window cracked open about 3 inches. All of a sudden I feel a THWACK on my neck. It stung a bit but didn't hurt. My initial reaction was "WHAT WAS THAT...

Since I am getting ready to take a few days off from work, I am also going to leave my phone in a drawer in my dresser on those days.

Today I received a new part for the Jeep!

I had a busy Memorial Day Weekend! Mainly working on the Jeep getting back into good enough condition to drive it back and forth to work. I did spend some time out and about, drank some beer and spent some quality time with good friends on Memorial day...

Over the weekend, we took the top off the Jeep. I figured that there was a small chance for rain, but nothing that would be bad enough to warrant to put the top back on for the rest of the week. Yeah... I was wrong!
