I gotta ask, what is a whistle pig? I'm figuring some type of critter based off the trap and dispatcher, but that's a term this upper...
I was outside working in the yard the other day and heard a strange noise that I couldn't figure out, kind of a metallic tapping noise. Turns out...
I didn't notice at first either. Although the last time I drove across Iowa and Nebraska I would have welcomed a magazine or newspaper. :)
Latency is round trip delay that the data packets experience as they traverse they network. If you go to speedtest.net, one of the tests is a...
I've used a wireless ISP for a few years now. I pay $50 a month for up to 1.5 meg download and up to 768k upload. No data cap. It's not the...
Think I'll give the furnace a quick cleaning today. No plans to roast any more pellets until fall. I planted some grass seed last week where I...
Apparently someone with my name was quite the accomplished blues musician, but he died over 30 years ago. My last name is very common, first name...
I have somewhere around 1.5 tons left. I'm trying to forget about cold weather for a while. I stopped at Menards earlier this week and they have...

Relaxing outside with a fire and some beer. I'm about to be chased back inside by the farmer behind me who is spraying the apple orchard.
Got the early buy email from the nearest pellet dealer the other day. $199/ton cash and carry for Pro Pellets/Magic Spark. $239 for Somerset....
I burned 8 bags in April. I burned quite a bit of wood early in the month and let the oil burner take the chill off the last couple weeks. Both...
I've split my fair share of apple (I live in orchard country). Orchard trees that have been pruned for their entire life split about as bad as elm.
I put down two yards of cedar mulch around the flower beds this morning. Fired up the mower and cut the grass for the first time this year. And...
That happened to me when I first bought my house. There were some large spruce trees growing around the aerial drop from the utility pole to my...
Nice day today. It got up to the low 70s. Spent a bit of time cleaning up the yard and making an old shed disappear. Now it's Jim Beam, Coke and...
That sucks. Hope they find the SOB that did it.
