Will more server memory actually get this blog back online after 3 years??

Hi everyone – I have what is called in the Technology biz a “Vintage” package with my hosting provider and I was getting memory errors logging in to create new posts, put up pictures and what not. I got part way through moving to a new plan on GoDaddy (which is excellent) but that […]

Fall 2018 after a long hot and wet summer in Carlisle

It was a long, hot and wet summer this year – but fall has finally arrived.

I have been working pretty much every weekend for so many weeks now that I cannot really remember – definitely stretching back into September. A big project at work that took me down to New York, which was interesting […]

stone work for the border of my lawn

As part of my terms and conditions still outstanding, I need to mark off with some sort of permanent markers the maximum edges of “lawn” which is essentially where the siltation barriers were. This is totally fine as it is swamp cabbage land on the other side!

My Dad and I enlisted our friend Jic […]

Scotts Valley Fohl family visit to Carlisle

Jeff, Meghan, Mason and Owen left to go back to Scotts Valley on Friday (today is a rainy Sunday morning). We had a GREAT time and I hope they did as well.

Unfortunately the subsidiary that I work for is in the midst of a 5 way merger and things are extremely busy and time […]

My parent’s and I have been pulling my house into final order as prep for Meghan, Jeff, Mason and Owen arriving and spending time here in Carlisle. They are going to stay at my house while I stay at my […]

Old Home Day in Carlisle, 2018

http://www.carlisleohd.org/ (click here for the newly revamped website with great photos – definitely capture the feel of OHD)

Good morning all – this year’s Old Home Day in Carlisle was a bit cold and damp with occasional showers, but definitely not rained out. Old Home Day is a traditional celebration in some of the smaller […]

Catching up and moving into summer

Its been a bit since my last update – mostly because work has been taking up a lot of my mental energy. Our 3 way merger has evolved now into a 5 way merger and the time frames have not changed (actually compressed a bit) – that is not leaving a lot of left over […]

Spring, wonderful spring…. urrr – what?

Spring is taking its sweet time showing up in Carlisle this year – it is not particularly unusual for things to be snowy, cold or unsettled in March – but this year we have had 3 Nor’Easters in the first 10 days of the month and a near miss on a fourth. Right now it […]

Metal working stuff this weekend in Carlisle

Good morning – we are going through a spring thaw here in New England – it got up to the high 40’s yesterday and for the next week, it is supposed to bounce around from the 20’s to the high 50’s – I suppose based on how the jetstream fluctuates – a little to the […]

Tithe Barn Shepherd’s Huts coming to Carlisle Massachusetts

Somehow or other, I imagined that I had put this information up on my blog before this but as I was writing out my other post of today about blacksmith vises and my future mobile blacksmith forge, I realized that I had not done it yet.

Ok – some background.

The problem – I need […]
