I'm back home from a solid week of travel on business. The first part of last week was the first-ever STIHL Editors Conference. I've attended countless events like this where manufacturers ply their new wares to the media. I was on the fence about going, but I have to tell you that STIHL was the […]
Yesterday I was traveling from New Hampshire to Norfolk, Virginia to attend the STIHL editors conference. Amber Kennedy, the PR person representing STIHL, told me there'd be six new magic tools being unveiled. That's got my attention for a brand I've used and respected for over forty years!

I sent out a newsletter this morning and it had my latest FUN Quiz in it. It's about Encapsulation. What's that? You'll soon find out. Guess what? I GOOFED UP a setting in the form!!! I had a box checked that required you to have a Google account to be able to take the quiz. […]
Happy Tuesday if you're on my side of the International Date Line. I'm sure I'm going to hear about that statement. 😉 A week from today I'll be in Norfolk, VA attending a special editors event for STIHL.

It's Friday morning here in the USA, and it's a magnificent autumn day. I wish I could go out for a hike, but I'm lucky to get some help today from a friend to help finish the HUGE Trex Transcend deck project of mine. I'll be taping a few videos today of stuff you need […]

I'm getting ready to leave for church in about 30 minutes and wanted to give you some great information to SAVE YOU MONEY. I just finished writing a column that's going to appear in Newsday, the newspaper many on Long Island, NY get. But you get a SNEAK PEEK at it first. Why? Because I […]

If you're reading this and seeing it, that means you didn't get put into the rubbish bin (RB). To ensure you get the newsletter when it comes out, it's important for me […]

Months ago, I decided that this was going to be the Summer of Fun. I had grandiose plans about working less, spending more time kayaking, doing outdoor amateur radio, etc. Instead, it's become the Summer of Deck. I've been working on rebuilding two huge decks at my house as well as completing a new deck […]
