Hey LJ,

It's been a while, and unfortunately it's looking like time is starting to catch up with technology. With LJ being sold to Russia (I kid you not) and my Photobucket hosting now charging for third party embedding, it's time to move on to another blogging site. If you want to keep up, just send me a friend request on Facebook: Read more... )

It's been 4 months. Yes, I know - I'm getting bad at this. For the past month, I've been carrying around in my coat pocket a folded sheet of paper with notes for my next entry. I don't necessarily have a lot to report, but the longer I delay the more insurmountable the task seems to me. It also doesn't help that I've been more than a bit busy ( Read more... )

So LJ, here we are at the end of another year. Currently I'm sitting at home in my workshop since I'm off for the holidays. We just finished cleaning up after Christmas and was preparing the house for our New Year's Eve party. I had a couple hours to catch up on LJ; work hasn't been easy enough where I could slip in an update on a slow afternoon ( Read more... )

Well, it's a chilly Tuesday morning in October and I'm finding it difficult to come to terms with Summer flying by so quickly this year. Sorry for the late update, but the past week at work was unrelenting.

Welcome Summer and all of your radiant, sweat-inducing glory! This time last year we were busy furnishing/setting up one house while selling another. Now that we're all settled in and the list of projects a bit thinner, we had a chance to actually enjoy the outdoors properly this year.

Hard to believe how quickly the last two months have flown by, but here we are, the Tuesday after Memorial day and the final day of May. I'm currently sitting at my desk at work with little to no casework to keep me busy, so it's time to recap the transition from Winter into Spring ( Read more... )

I'm a bit overdue for a regular post, which means I have too much to share in just one entry. Sometime in the middle of April, I hit a bit of a creative streak and started cranking out little projects with my free time. Below are of some of the things I've been working on when I'm not up to the usual madness ( Read more... )

So I've decided that it would be in my best interests to vote for Donald Trump. With that in mind, here we are on the first day April. The February/March slog tends to be the least eventful part of the year - at least, I say that every year. Of course, last March ended up being a hell of a lot more exciting than I had intended. Stepping things ( Read more... )

Happy New Year, LJ! January/February continues to be a rather uneventful time of year for me, aside from the occasional blizzard (more on that later) and weekend outing. The trend hasn't changed in 2016, though I have no doubt things will ramp up soon enough - for example, tomorrow Deb and I leave for MAGFest. Today I'm just passing the time at ( Read more... )

Here we are, sitting on New Years Eve and the final day of 2015. This has been a year of milestones: 10 years out of college, 10 years into my career at Merck, 10 years sharing a home together, and, most notably, our first year living in Bedminster. When I recall 2014 as the year I dove deepest into my electronics and 3D projects, they had to ( Read more... )
