Well, we finally did it. I didn’t think it was going to actually happen this year, but it did. We went apple picking and surprisingly, there were tons of apples to be picked. I thought the trees would be stripped clean, but they really weren’t. So many really beautiful (and huge) apples! I see an […]
Hiking Center Hill Nature Trail in Mount Blue State Park, Maine
Today was a very adventurous day for us. After a bit of work this morning, I suggested that we get out there to enjoy this wonderful fall weather we’ve been having. Apparently, there’s a gigantic state we’re living in that has yet to be explored. We’ve seen, I don’t know, maybe half of a half […]
This Year’s Almost Apple Picking Adventure
Yesterday was the day we chose for our yearly apple picking adventure. We’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember, and for as long as I can remember, we’ve been late at getting out every single year. Well, perhaps that isn’t exactly true. I can recall times many years ago that we […]
First Bike Ride on the Narrow Gauge Pathway in Carrabassett Valley
We have already walked on this trail a few times, but yesterday was the first time we rode our bikes on the Narrow Gauge Pathway up near Sugarloaf Mountain. I’m happy to report that our ride was just as enjoyable as our walks have been. The trail is smooth, fairly long and it even has […]
My New President Lincoln Deep Woods After Shave
I’m sorry to have to do this to you. I really am. It’s just that I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t let this stuff sit in the box any longer out in our entryway. It was just resting there looking at me, every single time I walked into and out of the house. […]
Walking On the Narrow Gauge Pathway Near Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine
Something fun needed to happen today. It’s been a while since I’ve been up and at ’em, so I was ready to get out there and make it happen. Last night’s temperatures dropped into the 40s and today’s didn’t make it out of the 60s. The sky was clear and I thought it was high […]
Replacing a Serpentine Belt with My New Neiko Torx Bit Socket Set
What’s one tool set most people never have any reason to purchase? That’s right. A Torx socket set. In general, most things homeowners need to repair have nothing to do with Torx. If you own a foreign car, especially a BMW for that matter, and you plan on making repairs yourself, you better grab yourself […]
Our 2017 Bountiful Garden Harvest
I was outside yesterday picking some yellow squash that was getting rather large, when I noticed the orange tops of a few carrots peeking through the surface of some nearby soil. I decided to grab the greens of those carrots and give a nice tug. Surprisingly, some fully grown carrots appeared in my hand, like […]
Learning English Grammar – Finally
Have you ever wanted to know something well? By “well,” I mean know something to such a degree that you can teach others about it. Think about what you do on a daily basis and think if you know anything to such a degree. Chances are, you do. Not everyone knows what you do for […]
Building a Homemade Puzzle Table From Plywood & Lumber
There are some things you just can’t buy. Don’t mark my words here or anything, but I have yet to see a huge puzzle table that’s made out of a sheet of plywood out there for sale. Sure, I came across a few little tables that sit on people’s laps, but never one that measures […]
