I'm back in New Hampshire from California. It was a grueling 12-hour airport-to-airport day this past Thursday (October 16, 2014). My youngest daughter Kelly and I started out pulling into the car rental return before dawn in San Jose, CA. We left the Manchester, NH airport just after 10 p.m. I'm getting better, but my […]

I just shot a new video this morning. The inspiration came because I changed out all the old useless fluorescent fixtures in my garage that have given me nothing but headaches for six years.
