Building a Barn Door For an Actual Barn (Ironically) 26 Aug 2013 | 04:52 pm
So, here’s something fun on a Monday… this afternoon (Monday 8/26) I’ll be participating in Lifehacker’s Ask an Expert series from 3-4 PM EST. It’s a live chat, and I’ll be fielding questions related ...
Because Bats 22 Aug 2013 | 08:10 pm
Update: Five shots later (one in both arms, both ass cheeks, and an upper thigh…) Rest easy. I’m not dying of the rabies this week. Also, that is my arm. Not an ass cheek. *** I pretty much asked f...
Lofty Ambitions 21 Aug 2013 | 10:49 pm

Happiness Is a Big Black Truck In My Driveway 8 Aug 2013 | 07:13 am
So. This happened. You’re looking at a very large, very unexpected, F250 Powerstroke Diesel parked in front of my barn. I’d like to take a lot of credit for this, as if I wrote about it on this webs...
Getting Through 6 Aug 2013 | 09:07 pm
Saying “some days I’m all over the place” is like saying “I have a couple of tools in my garage”: an epic understatement. This website tends to follow suit. You’ll notice I don’t post on a regular sc...
