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 ...
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.

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 ...

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 ...
Good morning all – I hope you are all enjoying the long MLK weekend and thinking of all the interesting people that you know who are not the same as you? I have this weekend – but maybe not in the way that is very mainstream – how does other people’s work go around the ...
