It's been a few weeks since I've reached out. There are a couple of reasons. I discovered that during the summer months you, and other subscribers, tend to get busy. As such, interest in the newsletter wanes. Because of this, I don't want great information to fall through the cracks. That's why I coast a […]
Yes, I'm alive! You may have been one who recently emailed me wondering why I've gone dark. It's been at least a month since I've sent out a newsletter. If you're a new subscriber, this is not a typical newsletter. So hang in there. A week ago, I got back from a ten-day trip to […]
Happy July 1st! Holy Cucumber, summer is marching along here, and I'm deep into a massive deck reconstruction and addition project here at my own home. You're going to be hearing LOTS about this moving forward. I taped a very cool video about a week ago showing amazing heavy-duty timber screws made by Simpson Strong-Tie. […]
I promised you the promo code for the Stain Solver sale and have been so busy with the deck job I just lost track of time! It's below. If you're a NEW subscriber welcome and understand that Stain Solver is a Certified organic multi-purpose oxygen bleach cleaner. My wife Kathy and I own the company […]

I just spent the last hour awash in emotions. I'm still in a fog. I was engrossed with the information at the Flight 93 Historic Site website. I'll be there in about five weeks. I decided to take a different route from NH to OH that will take me through Gettysburg and Shanksville, PA. Both […]
How are you? I'm doing great, thanks for wondering. There's so much to share this issue. I've got news about Stain Solver, my upcoming deck project, replacing rotten house trim lumber and a few common sense tips. I've also started to sell some RARE Google schwag that I've accumulated over the years. I listed a […]
Next weekend is the unofficial start to summer and while you may be celebrating at a picnic or on a boat, it's more of a subdued bittersweet weekend for my sister and me. A week from tomorrow is Memorial Day - the day we honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice - their LIVES - […]
I'm finally starting to get back in the groove from my ten-day vacation / business trip out to California. You may have been one who asked me to post a few photos of what I saw with my youngest daughter Kelly. Here's one taken at Barker Dam at Joshua Tree National Park. Here's one I […]
