In the past, I’ve always had some friends handy whenever I started running my mouth and digging myself into a deeper hole, who would say, “Shut up, Nick.” Unfortunately, they’ve all died off and I’m the last man standing. So I’ve been digging some holes lately. Terry had purchased some rose bushes from Lowe’s that […]
We had a four-hour drive ahead of us when we woke up yesterday morning, and since Terry had driven the entire trip to Arizona and back, it just made sense for her to take us all the way home. Besides, that way I could nap while she drove. It sure was good to pull into […]
As I wrote in yesterday’s blog, I couldn’t get my DK2 woodchipper to start after letting it sit for several months. It would turn over, but not catch, and I suspected that the gas had gone bad because I had not used any kind of fuel stabilizer. As it turns out, the key factor keeping it […]

As I said the other day, it’s already getting darned hot here in Alabama. The temperature yesterday was 91 degrees, and we have quickly discovered that the sunroom at the back of our house, which we use for our office, can get downright uncomfortable. That’s because of all of the windows and the fact that […]
How about we start the day off with a rose? This beauty was what I saw when I went out on the porch first thing yesterday morning. The rose bushes along the front of the house are really starting to look nice. I love working together with my wife. Whether it’s a new book, a […]
