Rest in Peace, Mom...

Thank $DEITY, not our house; unfortunately, it was our neighbor's house. Nobody was living there, fortunately...

Laziness got the better of me, which is why I probably shouldn't tackle a project as large as building a fence, because it would never get done! Anyhow, I took all of these pictures on Saturday, April 4th, showing what the new fence with the gates and view panels installed looks like...

The block arrived early this morning...by the end of the day, our fence was complete; all that is left is the "ironwork"...

Well, with several phone calls, a few estimates, one insurance adjuster, and a pittance insurance check later, we are now well on our way to a new fence...

Yesterday I came home from work thinking "Ah, a relaxing evening", never imagining anything outside of what my wife and I now define as "ordinary" (things get weird when you have your mother, who has dementia, living with you). Never did I think this would be here to greet me when I got home...

It's been a while since I last updated this site, so I thought I would post something to let everyone know what is going on, where I am at with things, and how I am doing...

I originally released this guide back in October of 2003, and several people enjoyed it. All of them said it was helpful and interesting. When I updated my site, the welding guide went away.

First off: I apologize, for both my attitude and demeanor during our email conversations. Yes, the issue was at my end, but one can easily see how I was mistaken - it wasn't so much that I was wrong (which I was), but that I didn't have all of the information, either. Read on...

Very strong words, and I wouldn't post them here had it not been for a dream I had this morning, one that woke me up and made me think a bit more than I am usually wanting to do at that hour...

Tonight, my wife and I prepared a cheap meal, part of which was a simple box of mac-n-cheese. But a little improvisation went a long way...
