Guess who tied his first pretty decent bow tie yesterday? Did you guess me? Congrats, you're right. I'll have a photo for you on Wednesday. Speaking of photos, I received an email from Ed Moore a few days ago that made me laugh OUT LOUD for a few minutes: "I get your newsletter at work […]
Three weeks ago, I purchased two Cannondale Quick 6 fitness bicycles - one for myself and one for my youngest daughter. She's working for me to pay it off. I hadn't owned a bicycle in probably 35 years. This bike is made to traverse bike paths and some pavement. It's not a mountain bike and […]
How is your summer going? Mine feels like it's a rally car zooming past me. My youngest daughter is now helping Kathy and me do a huge public relations effort for our Stain Solver product. She's reaching out to countless specialty magazines trying to get them to feature Stain Solver in the New Products sections […]
It's Friday. That means it's time to get projects done this weekend. How would you like to watch a VERY CONTROVERSIAL video of mine? It's about using a pressure washer on a shingle roof!!!!! I can hear your screeching now! Watch the video and pay attention to the RED notes in the video. Be sure […]

This coming Saturday (June 21, 2014) those of us in the Northern Hemisphere will enjoy the most amount of sunlight in a 24-hour period while our under-equator allies struggle through the most amount of darkness in the same 24 hours. It's time for the solstice. For me, it's a sad day because the sun starts […]
I'm really trying hard to make these Weekend Warrior Friday Blasts SHORT on words and LONG on info. Tell me how I'm doing. 1. Are you getting ready to build a shed, a deck, a patio, a room addition, etc? If so, this silly video will save you a massive heartache! Most people GOOF UP […]
