Just fired up the smoker at 32 degrees to do a brisket. Some people think I'm insane but there's something peaceful about standing outside in the cold for 14 hours tending a fire.
Took my oldest son out to the lake yesterday for the first time. We didn't catch much but he was so excited every time he cast out. Even caught a small bluegill and you would've th
Just picked up a new Traeger and I'm obsessed. Made brisket last weekend that was actually pretty solid. Nothing beats standing outside with a cold beer while something slow cooks.
Man it feels good. Been out there in the garage almost every weekend for the last month and it's almost done. Just need to stain it and add the pegboard. My kids actually helped me

Took my oldest out to the lake Saturday morning just the two of us. Got there at 5am and he was complaining the whole drive but once we got on the water he settled down. About an h
Installed the last TV yesterday and added a mini fridge. Got the couch set up, mounted my collection of signed sports memorabilia on the walls, even got some neon beer signs going.
Spent all last weekend building shelves and organizing my garage setup. Got my tools sorted, fishing gear in one corner, gaming setup in another. Put in some LED strips and it actu

My old gaming laptop is basically a space heater now. I've got the budget for a new one but thinking about building a PC instead. Never done it before though and I'm worried I'll s
Nothing fancy but I'm excited to get out on the lake this weekend. Haven't been fishing since before the kids were born and honestly I need a few hours of quiet. Might bring my old
Grabbed a PS5 last month and I am way too into it right now. Kids go to bed at 8 and suddenly I have 2 hours to myself. Playing through some of the classic franchises I missed. Wif
Been working on organizing and updating my setup for like 6 months. Just installed new shelving, painted the walls, and set up proper lighting. It actually looks like a real worksh
