Homebrew wine.
I’ve made wine, beer, mead, and a form of apple cider for many years now. I managed to snooker my sister into trying her hand at wine too. Beer is very labor intensive. It requires sometimes hours of preparation, boiling, chilling, pitching, racking, etc etc. Wine and cider are crazy simple, especially when you can [...]
I am ashamed of my shed.
I’ve been remiss in my responsibilities as a shed owner. Pathetic. I built this shed a several years back. It was neat for a while. It certainly isn’t neat now. It’s my goal to get the mess straight soon. I want to plant an actual real garden after having given up on it for a [...]

A rug for my yard.
We have a dog. She’s not a large dog, about 70lbs of Yellow Lab mix. She can produce serious amounts of poop. In fact I think she poops much more than she eats. I’m not sure how this is possible. I’m no scientist, but it would be great if I could convince someone that it [...]
