    With our new house, I had grand plans for our new gaming space, as a place to both play my various games and entertain our rather large groups. Part of this is an enhanced and digital table, to streamline maps and terrain for RPGs. I have the giant table, and opted this week to do…

    Early this summer, we opted to finally move and started the process to build a new home. Late in November, this was completed, and we started the process to move in. Now mid-January, and I would say we are fairly solidly entrenched in the new location. All boxes have been moved in (many still requiring…

    Its been nearly two months since I last posted any updates, and many things have changed in the world. A new president was elected, covid continues to rage and grow, we moved into a new home, and I was promoted at work. With the start of the new year and the conclusion of our move,…

    About this time last year, I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic, an event that rather significantly has now adjusted my life. Initially, the direction from the doctor was some medication, and an effort to reduce and eliminate sugared foods. For the first 6 months or so, this worked well – my blood sugar levels dropped, though…

    I tend to not post much about my professional work, mainly because it has little to do with my hobby efforts. Jokingly, until my YouTube career truly takes off, and my hobby and work align in harmony (which realistically may never happen), the two are mutually exclusive. However, recent events have caused an increased load…

    By this time, our pre-drywall inspection should now be completed, and insulation should be installed. As of tomorrow, the project starts the drywall – a step that is supposed to take 7-10 days. From there, we move into hopefully cosmetics and other finishing touches, hopefully still on target for a closing date near the end…

    It admittedly has now been several weeks since my last update – all thanks to an overly busy work schedule, ongoing life scheduling, and challenges with our new home and relocation. Work continues to be crazy, with the overall new support contract and migration of the client’s environment. This was scheduled to be completed at…

    Another week, and more updates on the house build and future “super basement” (per the kids). At this point, we have a foundation. The inspectors will be out this week to certify all the necessary parts, then there is waterproofing of the foundation and backfilling of the soil. From there, the floor of the basement…
