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.

Turns Out Mid-June Was Too Early for White Pine Lake This Year

Posted on: 14 June 2019 /
Categories: Other

I was kind of worried it might be, but I was supposed to be going on an overnighter to White Pine next week with the church kids, and, as the responsible adult, I thought it might be wise to check it out and make sure that was going to be doable. It probably wasn’t (isn’t?).

Richards Hollow Falls: A Pleasant, Nearby Day Hike

Posted on: 12 June 2019 /
Categories: Hiking

For whatever it’s worth, I have within the last 12 months gone on a dayhike and not reported on it. OTOH, I’m reporting on this one apparently. Richards Hollow Falls is in Richards Hollow (!!), just up the Left-Hand Fork Road in Blacksmith Fork Canyon. These are all places in Cache Valley, a little south

A Couple Days around Tahoe in the Spring

Posted on: 10 June 2019 /
Categories: road trips

You know, there are people out there who own and maintain blogs for the purpose of building an audience and making money. I do it mostly to make fun of my future self, I think. Or maybe to enable future self to make fun of past self. Whatever. I’m sure there’s mocking involved. The dog
