Picked up a PS5 last month and have been playing at night after the kids go down. Started with some easier games to refresh my skills. The graphics alone are insane compared to wha
I know it's ridiculous but I just ordered a new thermometer for my smoker and a cover for when I'm not using it. I already have two of each but apparently that's not enough. My wif
Started this project last spring and just got it painted and mounted yesterday. Heavy duty pine with steel brackets. Thing is an absolute unit and can probably hold 200 lbs easy. M
Getting in a few rounds after the kids go to bed most nights. My reflexes aren't what they used to be but I'm actually holding my own in multiplayer. Feel like I've earned some dad
Just picked up a traeger pellet smoker last month and I think I'm using it way too much. Have done ribs twice, brisket, pork shoulder, chicken thighs, even tried a whole salmon. My
Been working on this thing since March and I'm finally done. Built it from reclaimed wood I got from a buddy's old barn renovation. It's solid as a rock and has storage underneath
Took my oldest out to the lake early Saturday morning. He actually didn't complain about waking up at 5am which felt like a win. We caught like 8 bass and he landed the biggest one
Been golfing for like 12 years and it finally happened. Par 3, 165 yards with a 6 iron. My buddy actually saw it go in. I've never felt anything like that rush. Bought everyone in

So I've been slowly working on finishing the basement and I finally got the pool table in there last week. Just a vintage Olhausen I found on Facebook Marketplace for cheap. Spent
Spent the last three months organizing the garage and installing new shelving. Got my workbench exactly how I want it, pegboard all organized, better lighting. First project is reb
Been stuck on this one part of the game for like two weeks. Took me an hour last night but I finally got it. Nobody cares but I had to tell someone. Back to the grind I guess.
Looking to upgrade my old grill and trying to decide. Gas is obviously more convenient but I grew up using charcoal and the flavor is just different. My old man always said real gr
Got an older Xbox One on Marketplace for like 80 bucks and I'm kind of obsessed. Haven't gamed seriously since college. My buddy said I should try Game Pass and man, the selection
Cleaned out the grill today, got new propane, and fired up some burgers for dinner. Kids actually asked for seconds which never happens. There's something about food cooked outside
Spent the morning mounting a rod rack I built in the garage. Wife said it looked good which is basically a miracle. Got about 8 rods up there now and can actually find the one I wa
Spent the last few months organizing and setting up my garage so I could actually work on projects without tripping over stuff. Built some wall storage, got a proper workbench, hun
Haven't been fishing since college. Recently drove by my old fishing spot and got all nostalgic. I've got two kids now ages 6 and 9 and think it could be cool to take them out some
Got some bonus money at work and was thinking about upgrading my gaming PC and getting a better monitor. It's been like 5 years since I upgraded anything and I'm running pretty out
