Spent the last 6 months slowly organizing my garage and I finally got it the way I wanted it. New workbench, wall storage, tool organization system. It's not fancy but it's MINE an
I don't care what anyone says, there is no better feeling than standing in front of your grill on a nice evening with a cold drink in hand. This weekend I'm planning a steak night
Started rebuilding a 1987 Chevy engine with my dad back in April and we're still going. YouTube made it look way easier than it actually is. Parts keep showing up broken or wrong s
Been planning this for 2 years. Want to build a permanent outdoor kitchen area with a grill, smoker, mini bar, and a TV under a covered patio. Space is there, budget is tight. Wife
Used to play a lot before kids happened. Just picked up a PS5 and started on Elden Ring. My kids think I'm cool now which is hilarious. Have maybe an hour a night after bedtime to

I know this sounds stupid but I'm genuinely proud. Spent all last weekend putting up pegboards, labeling drawers, and getting my tools actually organized instead of scattered every
Finally upgraded my old PC and got a nice monitor. The wife let me take over the basement corner on one condition - I keep noise at reasonable hours. Been staying up way too late p
Saved up for like 6 months and finally pulled the trigger on the Traeger pellet smoker. I've been smoking brisket and ribs every weekend and my neighbors hate me but in a good way
Took my 8yo out to the lake last weekend and man I forgot how peaceful it is. We didn't catch anything but he was entertained for like 4 hours which is honestly the win. Picked up
Just hung the last tool pegboard yesterday and I'm pumped. Got my workbench organized, added some shelving for all my random supplies, and put in a couple shop lights so I can actu
Been prepping my smoker all week. New grates, cleaned out the ash, got my rubs ready and I'm planning a big cookout this weekend. Invited some neighbors over, gonna do brisket, rib
Looking to get into fishing with my 10yo son. Don't want to drop a ton of money right away since I have no idea if he'll actually stick with it. Thinking maybe a basic rod and reel
Took me like 3 years but I've got my garage/workshop dialed in now. Got the pegboard organized, tool box labeled, good lighting, mini fridge for beer, and a radio that actually wor
I try to get out to the lake at least twice a month, just me and my truck. Nothing serious, usually don't catch much. But something about being on the water early in the morning wh
