Now where’d I put that…

Oh. Hello. Sorry, I didn’t see you there.

I know, I know. I’m supposed to be telling you entertaining stories and showing you how to do things. But I can explain.

See, I’m in the middle of doing lots of really neat things, but unfortunately, as my ambition has grown, so has the amount of time needed to complete the projects.

I swear to you that I have been out in the lab almost every night doing really cool things just for you. It’s just that there isn’t much to tell. Sometimes you have to let the corpse ripen a bit before you can move on with the project and watching decay is little more interesting than watching paint dry.

I’ll be out in force soon, though. Soon enough it’ll be too damn hot to go outside anyway.

That’s it for today. Tune in tomorrow to find out…

Playing outside

A few days ago I was tricked into stepping into daylight and to my great surprise, I did not explode into a ball of flame! It was about then that I decided that it’s been way too long since I actually “played” outside. I’m always doing things- a new project or tending the garden or some chore or tweak or cleanup job… so that all the playing gets done by other people and I wake up Monday morning sore and tired.

Well I finally decided to see what it was like to engage in a frivolous, unproductive activity just for the hell of it and it was awesome. Bride and Spawn and I kicked a ball back and forth with  for a good part of the evening. Earlier in the day we tossed a Frisbee around, the little one did the best she could but just couldn’t get it to fly.

In a visit to my parents’ house last week I found my old skateboard. And by old I mean ancient! It’s a vintage 1985 Nash- big fat fish-tail board that weighs 15 pounds. I’ve had the thing since I was 10. What a sweet old board!

Anyway, just wanted to share that with you and to suggest that if you get a chance, go play outside for a while. It’s very therapeutic.

Well that didn’t go as planned…

Good evening everyone. I must apologize for my lack of awesome project content over the past couple of weeks. I’ve been somewhat distracted with things that are not altogether fun to discuss. So I went out to the lab tonight with every intent of producing something of such grandeur that it would make up it.

And I totally failed.

All the screw ups are not worth mentioning individually except to say that on an average night I rarely encounter a single snag, much less several.

It’s a strange evening indeed when your old pal Scarydad comes inside early. It was that rough.

Oh well.

Scarydad Review: Kraken Rum

Kraken

Hello there everyone. Tonight I review a delightful little product that is sure to steal your heart: Kraken Black Spiced Rum.

I happened upon this stuff a while back and wanted to try it then. But you see, Bride and I misunderstood one another as to who would be visiting the liquor store prior to a holiday gathering and in a moment of sitcom-style hilarity, we ended up with two large bottles of another kind of rum instead of one. This glut in supply made the purchase of Kraken painfully unnecessary until recently.

I finally got my hands on this pretty little bottle and now it’s about time to tell you what I think.
