I Sold My Motorcycle

Well, it’s gone. The guy came over this morning and loaded it up on a trailer and took it away. I have to admit that I feel a little bit of cool draining from my body. It’s not too bad though, because I do have a plan. I’ll tell you about that later. Here is […]

Visiting Newport, Rhode Island

Yesterday was a pretty eventful day. We decided to hop in the car and drive out to Newport, RI for a quick visit. I always think everything is so close to anywhere I am. When we are about halfway there, I realized that I am just an optimist. My butt starts to hurt and I […]

New Dell Precision T7400 Mini-Tower

One of the things on my task list today was to order the new computer that I have been considering for the past few months. Laura’s computer started acting up yesterday and that gave me the push to get it done. We can’t be without these kinds of things. So, here is what I got: […]

Our First Tomato – Right Off the Vine

Actually, I am not even sure it is off the vine. It’s more like it’s off the plant. Well, I picked the first tomato a few days ago. We let it sit on the counter for a day and then cut it in half. Laura held a half and I held the other and we […]

Overseeding The Lawn With Vigoro Contractors Blend

I picked up the last bag of grass seed today. Again, I got the Vigoro Contractor’s Blend. Last night, I looked up some stuff about grass seed. I learned all about Ryegrass, Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass. I thought I had it all down pat. When I went into the Depot today, I made sure to […]

Hiking at Gay City State Park

This was a long one. At least the air was nice and hot for us during the entire hike…oh man… We knew which trail we wanted to hike when we arrived at Gay City State Park yesterday. We have been looking at the trail map and we (I) thought we knew exactly where to go. […]

What Is It With Me and Grass?

I don’t know, but it is starting to get annoying. If you remember back at the beginning, we had a few spots in the lawn that needed seed. Well, I seeded them. Within a few days, grass started to grow. I just thought this was the cat’s meow. I couldn’t believe it because I have […]

The Tomato Plants Are Growing Strong

I was looking at one of my earlier blog posts yesterday and came across the one I wrote about getting tomato plants. I was shocked…yes shocked, at how small the plants were when I got them. I would say these plants are between 3-4 feet tall right now. Here, take a look… I think they […]

The Basement the Way It Should Be

I have been telling Laura that it just feels better to watch TV down in the basement. I explained that I always felt kind of guilty just sitting around upstairs in the living room. Having everything, “entertainment” downstairs feels much more “right.” I must say, it’s quite comfortable down there. I set up the dehumidifier […]
