Interest level in Garmin GPS Course???
A friend had suggested to me a while back that I teach hands-on courses for using GPS handhelds. I went on-line looking for similar courses and didn't find any, which would either seem an opportunity...

Never shoot a porcupine!
If you should ever be faced with a nuisance porcupine, don't shoot it! Well, not anywhere near your home anyway. My dad had one chewing the wooden steps on the house and couldn't get rid of it, no...

WMUR reported on it...
Just a few minutes after it happened, WMUR had a news flash on it. They will have more of an update shortly. Website doesn't say much. My sister in Bowdoin, ME felt her house shake pretty good too.

I don't think it's about paying a bit more. I think the issue is paying a lot more. I worked in retail management in a big box store for many years. That's after having worked a number of years for...

It's not about a "few" $
A LOT of on-line retailers are small shops just like we have here in the Lakes Region who just so happen to have a strong on-line presence. It's not just warehouses like Amazon (who isn't the only...

How easy we fall into the trap
It's so easy for us to just say, "well it's only another this or that much more." So for example, at $3.69 a gallon, I did the math, my 110 mile daily commute costs me 16.91 a day. At $4, that...

What Hyundai Corp had to say
I didn't even post all the problems. I forgot about the leaky strut and seatbelt that didn't work. I think there was something else too that's not coming to mind right now.

Warning to everyone out there, the "America's Greatest" warranty offered by Hyundai isn't worth the paper it's written on. It's highly misleading. Short story: even if you are able to produce...

Winter will take care of it
I don't expect anything will be done with that tree before winter. I'd bet $5 (since that's as adventurous as I get gambling) that a few ice storms will have that tree down before next spring. ...

I'd stay out on the lake until I HAD to go home
I guess because I live here, I took "last day on the lake" to literally mean last day on the lake and not the last day of my life.
Since I live here, I'm on the lake every weekend and the last...

Interesting perspective
Funny how perspective varies by person. I haven't seen much for boat traffic at all this year. I've definitely seen more than last year but nothing like years past and I'm out every weekend.

Great to have for emergencies for sure!
I had a late night emergency with one of my beagles over the winter (at 11pm). I called ahead and they were waiting by the door when I got there. They were super with everything.
