What started out as a simple window install didn't go exactly as planned. After nearly getting knocked out by a falling window frame, I miss measured and placed the new window frame. When I went to cut some new sides to put in I broke the plug in for my table saw. The next day I woke up early and bought a new table saw -- I was borrowing on from my brother, and needed to buy one for myself anyway -- and some new wood for the new new wood for the new window frame. From there it was pretty easy to get everything in and ready. Ended the day with some playtime in the kiddie pool with Turner, getting some ice-cream with the family, and going on a run. All in all I'm really proud of getting the window installed by myself. Now I can finish getting the drywall installed and start to put the trim up. Can't wait to finish this room and ready for Oona to be here.

THE PERFECT SUMMER DAY! Today was an amazing day. I was able to wake up early enough to get a run in at Antrim Park in Columbus. This is by far my favorite place to run. I don't make it down that often, so I was really excited to do so today. After that it was back home to work on Oona's room. I needed to sand down the entire room after all of the mudding last week. I made sure to take some extra precautions to avoid dust build up. It took me about 3hrs to get it all done an I was a sweaty mess by the end of it. But I'm that much closer to getting the room done. Lastly, the whole Family went to the park after dinner and we ran around for a couple of hours. It couldn't get much better than this. Thanks for watching, please subscribe and follow along. Also make sure to comment. Let me know what you think, anything you'd like to see me work on at the house, or adventures Turner and I should go on in Columbus.

I couldn't help but take advantage of such an amazing day. Once lunch came I practically ran out to the parking lot. I motored over to Highbanks Metro Park where I dipped my feet in the river, laid in the grass in the middle of a wide open field and rode until the moment I had to be back. It was an hour well spent. 

About a year ago I was presented with the opportunity to accompany my friend Andy on his last Cross Country road trip completing his move from LasAngles to Chicago. Andy has lived in California for the past eight years and I've been able to visit him on multiple occasions, each trip bringing about its own unique adventure. So with the thought of an epic week with one of the best people I know, paired with the fact that I've always wanted to make such trip, I agreed quite speedily. The Planning took some back and forth and I imagine that most of it was pretty ambitious, but we hacked out a plan to follow the southern route, camping at a few spots and staying with a friend in Oklahoma before heading back up north to Columbus, Ohio. I choose a early flight out to land at Burbank, Ca. around 11am. So the night before the flight, knowing it was going to be a long 36 hours or so I grabbed some Waffle House and loaded up on the coffee. Special thanks to Jeff Rigsby for hauling me to...

I've been doing a lot of Photo organizing lately and came across these gems from a couple of years ago. I remember just wanting to  go and take some great pictures of the river -- I'm very fond of rivers -- with my new Fisheye Lens. This is what I came up with and I hope that they bring back good feelings from the summer of 2009 like they did for me.   

Long time no post. . . right, I get it, I'm bad at this. I've been doing a lot of work lately and just haven't taken the time to post any of it. Instead of going too big too fast and burning myself out before I can even begin, I'm starting small in more ways than one . . . pun . . . get it? This was my birthday present from my wife this year, and yes, I know its a Dragon. But when she asked me what to name it, I came up with Cat-Eyed-Lizard-Bat. I like it. I hope you like it too - let me know what you think!
