Our Road Trip to the Outer Banks 2017 – Part 3
Wednesday was probably one of the two nicest days we had the entire week, weather-wise. The four of us jumped into the car for a quick trip to Duck Donuts in nearby Kitty Hawke. The donuts are good, but wow, … Continue reading
Our Road Trip to the Outer Banks 2017 – Part 2
The next two days (Monday and Tuesday) were a little overcast, rainy at times, so we spent a good portion of our days inside, with the occasional running outside to soak up the good weather when the sun poked itself … Continue reading

The HVAC project is all done
That’s right, folks. We’re all done. We spent over $20K but at least we’re done. A tech came last week to finish up the last of the project – installing a vent and moving the downstairs thermostat. Overall, both systems … Continue reading
Went back to Asbury Park last Sunday
Last Sunday, we hung out in Asbury Park, on account of the good weather. We didn’t account for the humongous number of people, as I spent an entire hour searching for parking. I eventually parked near what I think was … Continue reading
I went to Kansas City Missouri for the first time and I thought it was a nice place
At the beginning of the month, I flew down to Kansas City Missouri and spent a week there for work. While it was my 2nd trip to Missouri (I think I want to St. Louis in 2003 or 2004), it … Continue reading
