We got the fence stained this weekend thanks to Jesse loaning us his sprayer. Made the job painless, except for the sore arms after we were done! Looks like we are going to consider siding the house with vinyl siding instead of staining it. We figure it will be worth the extra cost in the […]
This week has been what I like to call winterizing week. Last Saturday we put the jet skis away for the winter. Wednesday night I pulled the camper to storage after winterizing it. Yesterday the pool was closed. And hopefully the sprinklers will be blown out soon. These winters are starting to get complicated! As […]

Some said this may take […]
I’m always amazed that I see financial institutions advertising free checking like it is an unheard of idea. Why would anyone pay for a checking account? I have 5 checking accounts (personal and business) at 4 different banks and they are all 100% free. A couple of them even earn a modest interest rate. No […]

I really want one of these eNooks but the price is kinda high… Maybe if I hint enough about it, I can convince someone, who I happened to spend a small fortune on this fall, to get me it for Christmas or something! Technorati Tags: Life, Work life balance, Furniture, Cool, Gadgets, Electronics
