Newsletter Issue #1170
Guess what? This could be your first issue! I sure hope I exceed your expectations. Since you're new around these parts, be sure to check out the special offer below on my entire Digital Library.
You, though, may have hitched your wagon to my mastodon with issue #1003. If so, you undoubtedly remember the video about how easy it is to create a PEX connection.
The Owl Moon
I'm fortunate to be able to share with you each week what's going on in my life even though I have no clue what's happening with you. You can get a dose of me six days a week if you read this newsletter and watch my new LIVE stream videos.
If you can't catch them live, you can watch them after the fact. During a LIVE stream, I always share what's going on in my world. This new venture of mine has allowed me to create a wonderful group of new friends.
I remember many times talking with my kids about how to cultivate and care for a friendship. It's like watering a plant. If you stop watering plants, they tend to die. You need to water the friendships that mean something to you on a very regular basis. I'm sure you've seen them wither when you don't. I suggest you reach out today to some friend of yours that needs a gulp of water! You'll feel refreshed too.
I also remember reading books to my kids when it was time for bed. Kathy did this most nights, but occasionally, I was happy to do it because I did something unique that she didn't.
If your kids were like mine, they'd ask you to read the same book over and over again so much so that they knew every line in the book. Keep in mind at this young age they actually couldn't read, they just memorized what Kathy or I said.
To see if they remembered, part way through a story I'd change the end of a sentence. For example, I might read, "The grasshopper and his chipmunk friend strolled through the forest on the wide trail carpeted with soft pine needles. After quite a few minutes of walking, they decided to rest next to a babbling brook. Gary the grasshopper opened his soft leather satchel and pulled out three cheese coneys with heavy onions and no mustard sharing them with Charlie the chipmunk."
Immediately, my oldest daughter would say, "Dad! That's not what the book says! They didn't eat cheese coneys!"
It became a game. My kids would be on pins and needles waiting for when I'd insert some quirky thing the characters in the book would do, say, eat, or who-knows-what. To change it up, I wouldn't always go off script.
What great memories! Speaking of memories, did you read the Owl Moon book to your children or one of your grands? I remember when I did with my kids. If you read this delightful book to them, I guarantee you they'll think of you each time they see a full moon on a delightful clear cold winter night.
Several nights ago, an Owl Moon rose up over my house in central New Hampshire. It was the night before the full moon so a little more wax had to be applied to the glowing orb the next day.
Check out the photo below. The moon beams were reflecting off the smooth ice of Lake Winnisquam just below my deck as I captured this wonder of nature.
If you want your grands to think of you each time they see a giant machine digging in the earth, then be sure to check out Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel.

Three months ago, I started doing LIVE video streaming during the week on my YouTube channel. I'm normally LIVE M-F at 4 PM Eastern Time right here. It's a HOOT!
While I have a main topic that I discuss for a few minutes, the viewers - that's YOU - then decide what I talk about. You can ask me questions LIVE while the stream happens. You can ask ANYTHING. Think of the sweet moola you'll save!
Here are a few of my recent LIVE streams:
