Pocket Door Installation
For a little background, my wife found some mold on a wall of our house and that lead to finding some wood rot on floor joists and that led to remodeling her sewing room and that lead to remodeling the bedroom beside it. And now, here I am, learning how to install a pocket door. […]
Movie Review: Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds
So I havent really accomplished what I set out to do. But we saw this movie at Wal-Mart and I decided it would be a good one to watch with lunch today. Really good decision! The acting was first-rate and the special effects were top notch. The story was very well told. It got a […]
Short Story
ARGONAUT She stretched out her hand to feel the tall grass slide through her little fingers. “ATTENTION! ALERT!” “Do you think I’ll ever go to another planet?” “I don’t know, dear.

Entertainment center remodel
Well, here comes December. The weather around here doesn’t seem to realize it yet, so we’ve had some really nice weekends. Which means lots of projects that I normally wouldn’t tackle during winter.

Quick Story
I like the stories my grandpa told. You never knew if they were completely true or how it would end. My grandpa grew up in a farming community, the middle son of a farmer. Anytime he could afford to get a new pickup was a special occassion and always swelled his head with a bit […]
Quick Story
My grandpa on my mom’s side was a Baptist preacher. Never went to seminary (he called it cemetary). But was very respected in this area. Way back before he became a pastor, he worked at a friends’ shop fixing cars in Glenrose, Texas. And I don’t have any kind of beef with Jehovah’s Witness, but […]
Quick Story
So, I saw a little “saying” thing/meme on Facebook recently about how we need to listen to the stories the older generations have to tell us. Or write them down. Or make an audio recording. Or video them. With each new year comes a new generation, but also the loss of a generation. I know, […]
