Rants and musings, without care for substance.

Staying in the same place for months, it’s easy to forget how beautiful this county is. Driving up 83N through northern Maryland and up 15N through Pennsylvania and New York this time of year is a rich and colorful experience. The leaves are turning and there’s a great mixture of green, red, orange, and yellow [...]

On Saturday I helped some friends with their latest backyard project. It’s a big one and they’re doing it themselves: an in-ground 30′ by 15′ liner-based pool with surrounding deck. So a few of us went over on a wonderfully mild Maryland afternoon to assist. The hole had been excavated and after a few minutes [...]

I love snow. It’s aesthetically pleasing pretty and your footprints follow you wherever you go. I woke up this morning after a late night and wandered downstairs, rather oblivious to the fact that there was indeed weather outside. As I picked up my jacket off the floor where I had tossed it while on a [...]
Went down to a beach on the Magothy River to do some slacklining on Saturday afternoon. I setup a 30 foot line between two trees with a blanket below the center point but lacked the coordination to stay up for any period of time. I set up another line between two trees about 15 feet [...]

This weekend was quite full and very enjoyable. Past tense, because I intend to spend another couple hours in my office today. It’s supposed to be in the 90’s today and the comforts of central air are just too tempting. That and I feel like I’ve done enough this weekend to warrant just laying about, [...]
I didn’t get to dig.
Instead I drove to New Jersey with a friend to pickup a car that he had purchased. Not at all related to digging a hole, but it’s the same friend so either way I was helping him out. I’m not huge into cars, but apparently the Toyota Supra Targa — with [...]
This weekend is going to be full of manual labor. I’m helping out with home improvements at two separate houses.
Tomorrow I’m helping dig a hole. Not just any hole in the ground like the type that kids create while trying to dig to China while Mom and Dad sit back and enjoy not having to [...]
