The past three days I've been sick. Looks like I got a medium case of the flu. What a crazy illness. One minute you feel pretty good, and then an hour later, it's impossible to open your eyes. When in a low spot, I've got so little energy I actively think, "I sure hope the […]
It's coming - perhaps the biggest storm of the season. Twelve hours from now, the maw of the Nor'easter could be directly overhead. If you're a new subscriber, I live in central New Hampshire.

This afternoon I'm going on a hike with my youngest daughter Kelly. We're doing a fairly easy hike up to the top of Rattlesnake Mountain just north of Squam Lake. It's really more like a big hill. It should be a good time and my guess is it will be crowded as it's a fairly […]
Can you believe we're almost finished with January 2017? Holy potato! Small Engine Reminder!!
