When I was younger I had a summer job at Furby Motors. The owner, Ken Main, was also a cottage owner on Bretton Lake where I spent may great summers growing up. Between working the summer job and hanging out with his family at the lake we became pretty good friends. One day at work Read More …
I thought I knew how to change a flat, and I do, but last Saturday I learned a lot more. I learned how to do it with the help of friends. It was the first official FOG ride of the year and we were about 45 minutes in and just about to turn off Main Read More …

So I updated my Blog site to WordPress 3.3. I used the “automatic” approach and of course ignored all the things you are supposed to do like backing up your database, disabling all plugins etc. etc., and things didn’t go so good. The updated didn’t complete properly. It ended in showing a blank screen shortly Read More …
Still miss you. Think of you both most every day. Grateful for everything you poured into my life. Thankful that we will be re-united.
