Whenever we have visitors, the first thing I like to show them is my garage. It’s my favorite part of the house. I spend a lot of my time there. Admittedly, sometimes I am forced to take refuge there from my wife when she is not pleased by my antics, but that’s a whole other story…

I am very particular about where things are in my garage and how they are stored and like to have a place for everything and everything in its place. I take great pride in all the things that are kept there and like to be able to get what I need when I need it. If a tool or a part is needed, I want to be able to get it without fumbling around trying to find it.

My neighbor treats his garage like a dump. Everything is all jumbled up and he swears he has it all, but he never can find it. I guess that’s why he is always coming over to borrow my stuff! I’ll be writing more about my garage as I add to my page. Stay tuned!!

With the internet taking off these days, there are many people who want to start websites. My friend Henry wants to start a site as well. He is an able pool player and wants to promote his line of pool accessories. We talked about the various ways he should go about doing this. I told him that an important part of a good website is the web design that it uses. I had a good suggestion for him as well.

I informed him that there was a company who had a lot of experience in this area. They are called webfullcircle.com and they are an outstanding company in the area of website design . After our talk, Henry reported back to me that he had taken advantage of this company’s expertise in their field. He is now the proud owner of a really cool site that promotes his business effectively. I am glad to know that I was able to help and wish him the very best with his new enterprise!

With the large size family that we have, it’s not hard to run up a big bill at the grocery store. I must admit though, even I was surprised at how we spent this week. It started out as a normal trip to the store. We had a list that we had made and a few coupons as well. The big mistake we made was to bring the whole family.

By the time we all got what we wanted, the cart was full to overflowing. I should have kept a better eye on how much we had bought. I think it was the frozen food section that did us in. it seems that you can run up quite a bill in that part of the store! I hope that we will have enough food to last for awhile. My wallet certainly does not want to repeat that scenario!

I was looking on Craig’s list today. This fellow had ordered too much mulch so he wanted to give away the rest. His loss was my gain, so I did a quick map quest, grabbed a shovel, and was on my way.

Having a pickup truck has a lot of great benefits. There is no way I could have transported the mulch in a car. I love to be able to just take off and know that I can move just about anything I want. It’s a wonderful tool and has made me a lot on money over the years. I love my truck!
