Ok just found the perfect seats for my old boat! You can pick them up at Walmart. I really was not wanting to permanently mount seats but I wanted back support that cushions just were not giving. These seats have two spring hooks that clamp the bench really well. Since they are removable I can flip them around for fishing… Read more →
This cool looking beer is basically a sour no matter what the can says and a decent one at that. Peaches? You won’t really detect any which is a pet peeve of mine – promise peach or mango or whatever – I want a strong hit of it. This is more like we washed a peach with it before canning.… Read more →

I may even scale those up for my 6 gallon buckets too. Very handy! Read more →

Now rather than download a bunch of random models to try and print I decided that I was going to make my own. I also wanted the stuff I printed to be useful and not just printing for the sake of printing… Read more →
Am sitting here pondering our trip to Florida coming up in August. I wonder if you remember what it felt like to be on a road trip before GPS or Siri? I do and in a weird kinda way I both miss and don’t miss it at the same time. I miss the thrill of adventure that pointing… Read more →
