My son is 8 now, and in an effort to capitalize on the few remaining ‘epic memory’ years, we had a great weekend. It all started throughout the week, as I prepared the treasure hunt…
Birthday Weekend
Derby Fun
It’s April, a time for sun, snow, spring, & the Cub Scouts’ annual Pinewood Derby!

A Simple Weekend
This post recalls a weekend in the not-too-distant past, where I installed my new antenna mount, and hung out with my son.

House Battery Part 4: The Finish Line
Doubting myself was typical, believing in my ability is a new development. Such was the case when I cautiously flipped the switch…
House Battery Part 3
Day 2 chronicles the continued adventure of wiring required to hook up the WFCO wf-8725 converter in my camper. I might just make it ready by the weekend….
What was I thinking? (House Battery Install Part2)
This weekend was a ‘guy’ weekend, as my daughter stayed at her mom’s. She had a sleepover, we had a ‘play date’ luncheon, all was neatly planned except Saturday. I told my son we had to get some work done.

SantaCraft
As many of my followers know, my kids and I enjoy playing Minecraft, a 3-D building adventure game. With all the cool replicas one can buy for WAY too much, I thought I’d be creative and ‘craft’ my kids some swag for Christmas. Here’s how to make some diamond swords.
Bachelor Stir Fry
Going from a full-time family to a single Dad has presented many challenges. One that I continue to battle on a regular basis is cooking for only one during the week (therefore not at all most nights) and feeding 2 extra (growing) kids on the weekend. Often, I’m able to get my pre-teenagers to eat it, usually they even like it. On occasion I get asked how I do it, so here it is.
