Started at 4am with a 13 lb brisket from Costco. Used my neighbor's pellet smoker since mine is still broken. Hit 165 internal temp around 10am, wrapped it in butcher paper and kep
Took the family out to Pine Ridge trail on Saturday. Thought it would be an easy 2 mile walk but turns out the trail markers are terrible and we ended up going way further than pla
It's done. All the boxes from moving are organized, the bikes are hanging on the wall, and I can actually park a car in there now. Took 6 weekends, some Spotify, and way too much c
Found my grandfather's old cast iron at an estate sale for $8. It's totally rust and crud all over it. I know you can restore these things but I'm wondering if it's actually worth
So I promised my son we'd build a treehouse this summer and now I'm standing in my backyard looking at 2x8s and hardware store receipts trying to figure out which branch won't kill

Started reorganizing the garage last Saturday morning. Simple job right? Wrong. Ended up finding 15 years of stuff that needed to be thrown away or donated. Built new shelving. Fou
Didn't use store bought dough or anything. Started Friday night with the dough, let it rise overnight. Saturday afternoon we topped it and threw it in the oven. The kids picked the

Looking to get a bigger tent since our old dome tent is getting cramped with two kids now. Was thinking a cabin-style tent that's at least 8 person. We do family camping like 4-5 t
Took my son on a 3 mile trail last Sunday and I underestimated how slow it would go. Lots of stops to look at bugs, rocks, streams. We turned back after 1.5 miles because his legs
Started a starter two weeks ago and now I'm checking it like three times a day. Watched like 10 YouTube videos. My wife thinks I'm crazy but I'm determined to nail the first loaf t
Been planning this for months. Renting a tent, getting all the gear, planning meals. We're only going 2 hours away for one night because I don't want to overdo it. Any last minute
