The Littles are Sleeping!

The Littles are Sleeping!
They are all asleep, and that lasted about 10 minutes.  They came home on May 7th for comparison here is how they fit in that box back then.  They now take up the entire box and stand about as tall as the sides.  Introducing them to the big kids can be a little complicated especially since we have a rooster.  …

Cabela's 36" Griddle - Happy Father's Day

Cabela's 36" Griddle - Happy Father's Day


The Father's Day gift that just keeps on giving.  Bill received his gift early, and has used it just about everyday.  If you are still looking for gift ideas and you have a griller in your life I would highly suggest one of these.  It is listed on the website for $349.98 the day we  bought it at the store it was on sale.  The sales flyer said it was $50.00 off but there had been an additional in store mark down of another $50.00.  Our purchase price was $249.98!  The stores offer free assembly of their grills which we did not take advantage of.  They also offer free shipping for orders of $50 or more which we did take advantage of.   We went to the store to purchase the griddle and a bundle package that contains a vacuum sealer, meat grinder, and meat slicer.  They had the griddle in stock but not the bundle package so we had that shipped directly to our house.  It arrived earlier than expected and all pieces were in great shape.  (I love the vacuum sealer oh my gosh how I love that thing.)

RYOBI ONE+ 18V Patio Cleaner with Wire Brush Edger - REVIEW

Ryobi one+ paver cleaner with wire brush 18 volt with charger
Years ago I bought the RYOBI Cordless Leaf Blower and regretted it.  It was light weight, easy to use, and I thought it would give our youngest son a way to help clean the upper deck.  Plus it would be easier than our gas blower which was difficult to start.

The RYOBI had no power, whenever I took it outside, the forest laughed at me.  It died of shame in less than a year.  Needless to say I was not impressed with RYOBI and even though I now owned the original battery plus a battery upgrade I was not interested in replacing the blower with the same model when it died.  I did not toss the batteries and charger bonus points for past me.

Enter the RYOBI ONE+ 18V Patio Cleaner with Wire Brush Edger.

Cheap Lathe Tools

Bent Gouge
About 20 years ago, Marisa and I went to a woodworking demo at a nearby woodworking store.  At this Demo, many tools were being displayed and demonstrated.  Among them, Dick Sing was turning Christmas ornaments on a Jet 1236 lathe.  His turning was so fluid and effortless.  He turned an ornament with a captive ring in about 10 minutes.  We were awestruck.  Marisa turned to me and said "You need one of those."  We left with a Jet tablesaw, a Jet jointer, and, a Jet 1236 Lathe.
