    Enjoying a week off of work, to get some projects done around the house and spend time with the family. So far, most of the work has been in the backyard, cleaning up the weeds and bushes that have grown out of control, and re-applying mulch to large areas. Most of the work is unfortunately…

    Well before this Covid-19 pandemic, this weekend was scheduled to be a bit of a break from work. The wife and older son were going to be in Florida at Disney, and my younger son had our own plans. I had planned for next week to be a vacation from work, to get several projects…

    With the excitement of Covid, I am working to provide a small distraction, and decided to start streaming movies thru Discord each night. The Discord instance is open for anyone who cares to join in, though I make no claims about the age-appropriateness of any movies. Each day, I will post the planned movie for…

    Thanks to ongoing Coronavirus concerns, work has decided to suspend all non-critical travel for the foreseeable future. The good news is that I no longer have to travel to Toledo frequently, the bad news is the outbreak continues to cause escalating disruptions. This may give me more time for hobby efforts, at least until we…

    Taking a week or two off of work (hopefully), and likely will be a bit more spotty for updates over the next week or two, due to the holidays. Whatever festivals you celebrate, enjoy the holiday season and time with the family. Stay safe, and best wishes.

    Trying a new strategy this year, since the kids are old enough to start taking responsibility for presents. For each of them, I gave them a task of making a list of presents they wanted to find for other people – parents, relatives, each other, etc. For both, I gave them a basic price range,…

    Home again, after another week of travel, and ready for the next couple of weeks and the holidays. Finalizing the shopping this weekend and next, in between our gaming schedule. This Sunday we have our next episode of the Age of Ashes, which should give me plenty to work on. Over the actual break, I…
