As I sit here and type, I am so excited about playing the guitar tonight. I have never actually played a high quality guitar, so today has been a first. And what’s even better is that I have an entire story to go along with the purchase of my new guitar, so I’ll tell you […]
Maine Maple Sunday at Maple Hill Farm in Farmington, Maine
This was a really good one. I’ve been to some sugar houses in my day and I have to say that this particular sugar house was a lot of fun. I’m not sure if it was because of the energy of all the people inside of it or if it was because of all the […]
Throwing Some Heavy Wet Snow With My Cub Cadet 2X 528 Snow Blower
It’s been snowing since yesterday morning at about 9am. It’s supposed to stop some time tonight. Originally, it was forecast to stop this afternoon, but someone changed their mind. It’s all good. It’s not like it’s coming down hard or anything anymore. Last night, well, that’s a different story. It was coming down hard then. […]
Back to the Poplar Hut Trail
Yesterday was a great day. Laura and I went back up to the snow trails that lead to Poplar Hut in Carrabassett, Maine. We’ve had some snow over the past week and I wanted to see how the trails looked. The Maine Huts & Trails group grooms the trails for hiking and cross-country skiing, so […]
Must-Have Guitar Instruction Resources
I remember back when I was a kid in my old neighborhood. One of my neighbors used to sit on his back porch and play various Metallica songs on his electric guitar. He wasn’t great or anything, but it was fun to listen to him navigate the strings and chords for those songs. He was […]
Hanging Out in Farmington, Maine
I’m so glad it snowed two nights ago and was sunny yesterday because it was the perfect setting for a visit to Farmington. Ever since I was a kid, I loved seeing the bright snow the day after. The sun definitely needs to be out because if it’s not, it’s just another day. If it’s […]
I’ve Decided to Try to Learn How to Play the Guitar Again
I’ve been down this road before. I understand that playing the guitar is a true challenge, but I also understand that it’s one mighty satisfying reward. Not everyone can do it. Not everyone can even learn how to do it. Way back in 2012, I failed. I’m going to give it another try. What do […]
Unigear Spiked Traction Cleats for Snow & Ice
These spikes are the real deal. I’m so used to looking at those other rubberized, little nub things, that when I saw these on Amazon, I had to get them. I’ve almost slipped over and fallen about ten times so far this season, so I had to do something. I just tested these bad boys […]
My New Cabela’s Snow Runner Winter Hiking Boots
Over the past four years, I’ve been casually browsing through many store shelves for the perfect pair of hiking boots. I haven’t purchased this type of shoe in a very long time and I guess I was behind the times because when I looked at the prices of some of these things, I was rather […]
Frozen Slush
This past few days of weather has snuck up on me. About two or three days ago, the temps were in the 30s. We received about four inches of snow overnight. The next day, it warmed up even more and rained for about twelve hours. Now, if you’ve ever experienced freshly fallen snow combined with […]
