The other night my brother in law and I were sitting downstairs playing borderlands 2, or something like that, when we heard a long stream of “dits” and “dahs” manifest itself. Being quite curious as to who was using the code up stairs I went up to find my wife on the phone texting a […]
White Bread
I love white bread. Why? Because it tastes good. Why does it taste good? Because it is loaded with sugar and unhealthy stuff. What does this mean? Well; like energy drink consumption, I need to make some life altering decisions. I’ve long clung to the belief in food consumption that you can eat all the […]
Improvised Gas Mask
I’m not gonna lie; when I first stumbled upon this I thought it was one of the dumbest ideas ever. “Oh no, bad dudes with riot control gas are coming, hurry and make some improvised gas masks…” You get the point. Now that I’ve made one and found that it actually holds a really good […]
The Bill of Rights

It’s worth a watch. Jon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwQxqBBut8s You might also enjoy this short video about a simple log cabin that was […]
Milk Cow
I know quite a few people who raise a family beef cow, but not very many outside of the dairy industry that raise milk cows. This is one story from my youth, and built from personal experience, so I hope it motivates or inspires some ideas by letting you know some of what my family […]
