Nothing will ever replace my beloved chainsaw. I had to say that right away because I’ve always been a chainsaw kinda’ guy. Battery operated things are not chainsaws in my book. I’m flirting with the dark side just touching one … Continue reading →

Our sweet lovable cat is dead. Shit happens. I’m bummed out. Tardo was the dumbest mammal in North America but I liked the lovable fool. Tardo’s wellbeing has always been a concern. He was extraordinarily nice so I wanted him … Continue reading →
