The Blog
So, what happened to the blog?
Well...
Basically, when I started the blog, my financial situation was the most stable and happy that it had been in a few years, and I was looking forward to a period of time when I would have the time and money to do several medium-sized repairs and upgrades: replace the gutters, patch the stucco in a few places, upgrade the thermostats, re-arrange the kitchen, etc.
Then my financial situation took a nosedive.
I filled space in the blog with historical stories as long as I could. Then even those ran out; unfortunately I ran out of ideas for truly basic tools to explain at the same time. So the entries just sort of...stopped.
I have some hope that when the money thing is better (which it will be sometime soon I believe) I can re-start the projects. And when I start finishing projects again, I can start writing about them again.
Someday.
I the meantime, I've been cooking a lot instead. Because even when there's no money, one has to eat. And cooking your own food is cheaper than eating out.
