Floors Buckled In More Ways Than One

This past week, we had a part of our floor bubble up to the point where we could not open our bedroom door easily. I cut out a section of the carpet and discovered it was the original hardwood floor that bubbled. I can only assume it was due to…

No Driving, Just Waiting

Not being able to drive is not very fun. I like driving. It's just one of those things I can sit back, relax, and enjoy. Listen to podcasts whilst getting to and from work. It's rather peaceful. The soonest appointment I could get into a neurologist locally is September 9th…

A Shocking Turn of Events

Well, last Thursday, the day before Independence Day, my wife had to have her wisdom teeth removed. That all went smooth, but whilst I was getting food for her, I was messing with a smart bulb that kept disconnecting from the WiFi and apparently got shocked in such a way…

Life Update and Shameless Plug

Still haven't finished the plumbing needing done, but it's okay. It's not backing up anything since I dug what I've dug and it's fenced off separately so my daughters cannot get to the mote line. I should be getting a deck for my lawn mower. A different brand (Craftsman and…

Hectic Days

What a hectic couple of weeks it has been. Two weeks ago, we found out my wife's grandma passed away. She was 100, but it was still hard on her family. My parents watched our girls pretty much all of last week and weekend as we flew to Pennsylvania for…

Why not add a mote?

Started digging up that plumbing yesterday, following along the current line and it feels like I'm digging a shallow mote. Especially when I met the area that's backing up and water flowed down the channel. It would be rather neat to own a medieval style castle look-alike and have a…

Projects and Nothings

The Steam Deck has been nice to have, though I still haven't played much. Slowly getting through Beyond: Two Souls. Last night I had some insomnia and decided to download some emulators on it. Starting with Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX 2 on the PS2. I'm not sure why for the…
