I sent out a newsletter this morning and it had my latest FUN Quiz in it. It's about Encapsulation. What's that? You'll soon find out. Guess what? I GOOFED UP a setting in the form!!! I had a box checked that required you to have a Google account to be able to take the quiz. […]
Happy Tuesday if you're on my side of the International Date Line. I'm sure I'm going to hear about that statement. 😉 A week from today I'll be in Norfolk, VA attending a special editors event for STIHL. I decided to attend only because they have a special announcement about five or six new SECRET […]
It's Friday morning here in the USA, and it's a magnificent autumn day. I wish I could go out for a hike, but I'm lucky to get some help today from a friend to help finish the HUGE Trex Transcend deck project of mine. I'll be taping a few videos today of stuff you need […]
My favorite season of the year is creeping into New England. Fall. Crisp mornings, the sky so blue it makes your eyes hurt, lake water that looks like someone dumped millions of gallons of blue dye into it, and of course the tree leaves. I'll be out trying to get some great photos for you […]
I'm getting ready to leave for church in about 30 minutes and wanted to give you some great information to SAVE YOU MONEY. I just finished writing a column that's going to appear in Newsday, the newspaper many on Long Island, NY get. But you get a SNEAK PEEK at it first. Why? Because I […]

Months ago, I decided that this was going to be the Summer of Fun. I had grandiose plans about working less, spending more time kayaking, doing outdoor amateur radio, etc. Instead, it's become the Summer of Deck. I've been working on rebuilding two huge decks at my house as well as completing a new deck […]
It's been a few weeks since I've reached out. There are a couple of reasons. I discovered that during the summer months you, and other subscribers, tend to get busy. As such, interest in the newsletter wanes. Because of this, I don't want great information to fall through the cracks. That's why I coast a […]
Yes, I'm alive! You may have been one who recently emailed me wondering why I've gone dark. It's been at least a month since I've sent out a newsletter. If you're a new subscriber, this is not a typical newsletter. So hang in there. A week ago, I got back from a ten-day trip to […]
