    Enjoying family time tonight, as the kids go out trick-or-treating for Beggar’s Night.  Ben is very happy with his inflatable gorilla costume, and it looks like George will recycle his “dead guy” costume from last year.  As usual, the grandparents will be over to help hand out candy, and we will no doubt have pizza. …

    Managed to survive camping with the kids over the weekend in the forests of Ohio, despite the near freezing temperatures, solid wind, and nearly constant rain.  The scouts ended up having a blast, and plenty of activities that kept us running from morning to night.  Unfortunately, everything had a solid coating of mud, so it…

    Heading out this weekend for some camping with my kids.  The youngest finishing up his last requirements as a Cub Scouts, before graduating to the Boy Scouts, and my oldest as a Boy Scout Den Chief, assisting the cubs.  Will have a large group of cub and boy scouts with us, as we brave the…

    Just a side note to help explain some of the links and ads on the page you may see at different times.  Ultimately, this website may potentially pay for itself, though at this point that is not the case.  However, if you spot links to items I either reference, review, or recommend, they will frequently…

    Its going to cause a delay to my various projects, but my schedule is back to Toledo again for work this week, with my ongoing need to be onsite with the client every other week.  As a result, my 3d Printer troubleshooting is on hold, and I have limited access to other options.  Ideally, I…

    You may have noticed, I have altered the timing for my daily posts.  Originally, I was posting on weekdays, and scheduling for 5 PM EST each day.  That worked, but in truth really encouraged me to create the posting at the last minute.  Since I have been trying to pre-schedule content as much as possible,…

    Had a fun mini-vacation with the family over the weekend, attending Gencon this year.  We only went for the Sunday “family day”, mainly to save a bit on cost, but realized after the fact that that may just not be enough time any longer.  It used to be that a single day was enough to…

    Over the years, I have had more than a few occasions to smell the nearby presence of a skunk, though fortunately never have we had a direct confrontation.  This despite curious dogs, and more than a few known critters in our neighborhood. Unfortunately, last night around 2 AM, our dog managed to break that streak,…
