  • Swine bugs….

    It’s been hot in the house the past couple of nights and last night it was really difficult to get to sleep. Kristen called the AC man out today and he arrived this afternoon which was nice. After looking at the unit inside and the thermostat he went outside to the unit that was not…

  • Hurricane damage photos

    I’ve posted a few of the pictures of the trees that fell when Hurricane Ike blew through Ohio. The crazy thing is that North Carolina (that was meant to get the hurricanes earlier in the week) was hardly affected. Hopefully some tree surgeons will be here tomorrow and my insurance people will be talking to…

  • An awful Dyson

  • I won a wallet this week.

    I had a nice surprise to see that I had won week3 of Lifehack’s competition to win a dbclay wallet (worth $48).  They look pretty cool so I’m really looking forward to seeing what the new one is like. I’ll be posting pictures when it arrives. They have another round this week so hurry up…

  • Warranty on chairs.

    Kristen wants a comfy chair for her sewing/knitting room and so last week when I was off we went out to see what was available. In one of the shops all the goods had a sign on them that stated they had a lifetime warranty. Yet curiously enough they had flyers at the sales desk…
