Took me three weekends because I kept measuring twice and cutting once. Well, twice actually. The second time was because I forgot I already cut it. Anyway it looks amazing and my tomatoes are going crazy. Wife is already planning the next one so I guess I'm doing this forever now.
Been saying I'd do this for like 2 years. Ordered the cedar boards, got my tools ready, gonna tackle it this Saturday morning before it gets hot. Thinking 4x8 feet. Anyone have tips for leveling the ground? My yard is pretty sloped in one corner.
Looking to upgrade from my tiny charcoal grill. I've got maybe 6x8 feet of patio space so can't go too big. Don't wanna spend more than 300 bucks. Was thinking Weber or maybe a Char-Griller? What do you guys recommend?
Finally got some peace and quiet after the kids went down and threw on the latest season. First episode was wild. Anyone else following this or am I just behind on everything like usual?
This is gonna sound crazy but I quit my 6 figure job when my son was born and I dont regret it one bit. Was miserable, stuck in traffic, never saw my family. Wife wanted to keep working so we switched things around. First few months I felt lost honestly, like who was I without my job and my status. ...
We made a simple chart with faces showing different emotions. Before bed we point to how he felt today. Sounds silly but my 3yo has actually SAID "I'm frustrated" instead of just screaming about nothing. It's been like 2 weeks so it's still new but this is the first behavior thing that has legitimat...
Got a note from the teacher that my 10yo is struggling with math. Which okay, fair enough, we'll work on it. But then got comments from two different family members about how "we need to make sure he's studying" like... I'm doing my best? He does his homework, we quiz him, I got him a tutor. At what...
Working 55+ hours a week, two kids under 5, wife is frustrated because I'm never around, I'm too tired to enjoy anything on weekends. Boss keeps piling on projects. I know I should look for something else but job market is scary right now. Anyone been through this? How did you get out?
Been spending the last month organizing my tackle box and rewatching some of Curt Slauson's videos on bass fishing techniques. Picked up a new Shimano reel last week and took it out to the lake yesterday morning. Caught 3 largemouths before 8am and honestly felt like a kid again. Nothing beats that ...
Apparently my 8 year old told his friends I could lift a car. I can't. But man did that hit different. Picked him up extra high when he got in the car just to keep the dream alive a little longer.
Our son is 2 weeks old and I feel like we're just winging it every single day. Wife and I are exhausted, baby cries at random times, sometimes he eats for 20 minutes sometimes for 45. Is this normal? When does it start getting easier? Everyone keeps saying 'it goes by so fast' but right now it feels...
My youngest messed up at school today and I need to set a consequence but I want to do it the right way. I never want my kids to fear me but I need them to understand that actions have consequences. I remember my old man would explain WHY something was wrong, not just yell about it. Anyone have advi...
We drove 6 hours to visit my parents in Portland with our 7 month old daughter yesterday. Sounded like a good idea in theory. Reality: she screamed for literally 2.5 hours straight in the middle. We pulled over at a rest stop near Salem and I just sat in the car holding her while my wife walked aro...
Had to take a moment when it happened yesterday. He's 16 now and I could feel the man he's becoming in that grip. Didn't let him win either, he actually got me fair and square. Told him I was proud of him and we just sat there for a minute. These moments go by too fast fellas. Appreciate what you go...
We all started as casual players and now there's a whole trophy in my basement and guys are actually mad about trades. I'm in third place right now which apparently is 'not acceptable' according to my buddy Mike. It's just a game but also it's not?
