Steam Mill Lake Hike

Posted on: 28 July 2019 /
Categories: Hiking

I did this hike a couple times in July. The first was on The Fourth and was sort of a scouting trip I undertook on the premise that there has to be another reasonable overnighter destination in Logan Canyon other than just White Pine Lake every time. It was also a destination of considerable curiosity,

Sigh: Hiking to Cherry Creek Falls

Posted on: 5 July 2019 /
Categories: Hiking

One day, I’ll look back on this post and be amazed at… I dunno. I can’t imagine what in this particular post is ever going to leave me thinking: yeah, that was a good use of a half-hour of my time or similar. Maybe I’m shooting too high. Too highly? No. This hike tl;dr –>

Another Local Hike: Jardine Juniper

Posted on: 3 July 2019 /
Categories: Hiking

This one was a few weeks ago at this point, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen or that it doesn’t deserve — nay, require — coverage on my important weblog. This is a hike in Logan Canyon. It starts low enough that it wasn’t under snow at the time we did it. It runs

Kitchen Renovation: It’s Mostly Finished Now

Posted on: 27 June 2019 /
Categories: Home Renovation

With the kitchen part of the kitchen “functional” by the end of 2018, most of the remaining effort happened in the mud/laundry/whatever room that used to be the kitchen. One awesome thing I got to do in there was tear down the old soffit that used to be on top of the wall cabinets that

Kitchen Renovation Months 5 through 8: Things Slow Down

Posted on: 25 June 2019 /
Categories: Other

They were always going to slow down once school started back up. And then there’s this weird thing that happens to me about the middle of October every school year where I just can’t do anything but deal with school and wait for it to be over. Which it isn’t until April (well — there’s

Kitchen Renovation Month 4: Toward a Functioning New Kitchen

Posted on: 24 June 2019 /
Categories: Home Renovation

When I left town at the end of July, that coincided with the drywaller’s schedule. In other words, I timed it so I could be out of the house during what I imagined was going to be a neverending indoor dust cloud. So when I got back from the northwest road trip, I was met

Kitchen Renovation Month 3: New Window, New Wires

Posted on: 20 June 2019 /
Categories: Home Renovation, Other

Next up in the project was getting the new window installed. That corner of the house was super-dark, and with the kitchen going in there, it needed a window. I actually tried calling several professionals to see if I could find someone to do this part for me, but no one wanted to :(. I

Kitchen Renovation: Months 1 and 2

Posted on: 19 June 2019 /
Categories: Home Renovation

The house I’m living in was originally built in 1949. At some point, maybe the early-60s, they added on to the back of the house, but rather than adding a room that the house actually (desperately) needed — a master bedroom let’s say — they used the extra space to create the house’s third different

That One Day When I Got Bored and Just Started Ordering Watches off Amazon

Categories: Buying Stuff

This is a true story. The Contenders Suunto Core All Black ($129.99) Pros It’s all black! Supposedly if you calibrate either the altimeter or the barometer, the other one sorts itself out automatically. Has a cool “second hand” that cruises around the circumference of the dial. Very cool band. Cons Kind of hard to read.
