A Weird Mood

I’m in a weird mood today. I haven’t been able to pinpoint it exactly though. Last night was my first Reds game of the season and they lost. But hey, that’s alright. You win some, you lose some. It happens. My job has been stressful this past week, [...]

Opening Day

A little late, but today will be my Reds’ Opening Day. Kelli and I are planning to head over to Rachel’s in Newport after work and grill out some hot dogs and brats, and then walk it over to the Ball Park. I was able to get two company tickets so ours are [...]

I Love Four Day Work Weeks

You know how you’ll wake up thinking that it’s Friday, and then you face the disappointment of realizing that it’s really Thursday? Well, I love Monday holidays because all week long I get pleasantly surprised. I’ll wake up on Wednesday thinking that its Tuesday, only to face the reality that I am one [...]

Clifty Falls, IN: Not That Impressed

Kelli and I were fortunate enough to both have Friday off from work. So, taking advantage of the extended weekend we jetted out to Clifty Falls State Park just outside of Madison, Indiana. The drive was just fine and we were really excited to be camping again. But, the park did not [...]

Well, Here It Is!

With some delays through the past week I was not able to finish my shelves before Saturday but I was able to wake up Saturday morning, head straight to Home Depot, pick up the color of paint that I wanted and finish them up in one painting. So, without further ado, here are the [...]

Auger Fun…

I’ve been slow to post a new entry because I really wanted my next item to have a picture of my completed shelves. They’re built, they’re primed, but they’re not colored. And, I wanted to do that last night but it just didn’t work out. Instead, it rained and rained. We’ve [...]

Two Posts in a Day

Just some mini updates: I went to Harbor Freights on Saturday and found a 15 piece router bit set, looks nice. I also was able to find some decent battery operated ear muffs. They dampen out any sounds over a certain decibel, they’ve worked great. Also, I got a [...]

Ahh, Summer Vacation..

Well, you know, it’s not really Summer vacation as I am still working. But, it sure feels like it. When I get off work at 4:00, the remaining hours of the day are free! In fact, free all week long! Today I think I’m going to start things off with a [...]

Ear Protection

Last night, I worked on my shelves for a little bit. Really, I was just testing out a method for routing the legs. So I wasn’t working too long on it, maybe about 20 minutes or so. When I am using the router I have a face mask, eye glasses, and ear [...]

Last Exam Tonight!

Tonight is my last exam of the semester. I’m planning to head to school straight after work to do my own studying and then from 6:15 – 6:45 the professor will be hosting his own study session, with the exam starting at 6:45. So far, I know I have an A in [...]
