It's time for a new blog. I know, I know, it's been awhile. I guess it was my turn to procrastinate. But, I'm posting now. I should do this with my new web cam to see how it does on here. My old one was totally screwing up my computer so I ended up having to get a new one. I'll do that next time. This time, you'll just have to read. While I'm typing this, I have a plumber here. For awhile now our upstairs bathroom sink has had a leak inside the fixture. It was just a slow drip (no, new gaskets wouldn't take care of it). The faucet needed to be replaced so I decided to tackle this about 3 weeks ago. The new faucet said it was easy to install so I decided to do it myself. Yeah...not such a good idea. The hot water closed with no problem. But because of the slow drip that had been going for awhile, the cold wouldn't turn off. I ended up having to really crank on it to get it to go. No big deal, right? Wrong. Cranking on it did indeed make it move so I could shut it off but it also made it leak really badly when it was open. I had my dad look at it since he's built almost every house I've lived in growing up and can fix anything. He couldn't do it...said I needed a plumber. So now I have a plumber here...and it required sawing off of old pipes and soldering on of new ones. Something I would never have been able to do (no...I wouldn't...I know you can and keep saying I can do these things too, but this is one I know I would not have been able to do). The sink is now fixed and usable again (WOOHOO!!!!) and he's now changing the kitchen faucet. I figure since I have him here he might as well change that one too. The wife has always wanted one of those faucets in the kitchen that the spigot comes right out of the fixture so you can use it like a sprayer instead of that little side one. For the time being at least we are going to be all set on our plumbing needs; at least I hope we are. So there you have it...that's our plumbing saga. I could make this even longer and go into what's going on with my computers but I'll save that for another blog. Anyway...have a great day! Later!!

S.A.H.D. Guy on Taking a Photo Trip
Today was the day of the photo trip with my fellow S.A.H.D. We had a really great time! Hopefully we'll be able to do it again sometime. I'll put some of my best pictures on here when I'm finished editing them.

S.A.H.D. Guy on a Photo Trip
I can't wait until Friday! A buddy and I are going on a photo trip for the day. We're heading out to the lake shore and to some of the back roads to see what cool things we can find to take pictures of. He has a new camera and mine is still fairly new so we're going to see what we can find. I have someone coming to stay with my kids here and he only has one of his kids right now (the oldest is visiting Grandma and Grandpa). He's picking me up at 8:00 Friday morning and we're heading out. I'm hoping for some really cool pictures. I promise I'll post some if I come up with any. We are just going to drive and see what we come up with. Sometime around noon we'll stop for lunch somewhere and then out again to take more pics. I really am excited about doing this. The guy I'm going with is a fellow S.A.H.D. and I've really been enjoying getting to know him and his kids. Conversation always seems to flow pretty easily when we're together and we seem to have a bunch in common. Add all this with us both enjoying taking pictures and I think we're in for a fun day. Hopefully it will be a nice one...rain could suck! Anyway...I can't wait until Friday! Did I already mention that? LOL!

S.A.H.D. Guy on Graduation Trip
Hey! I've been gone for about a week on a trip to Iowa (NW corner) for the high school graduation of our oldest niece. Did you miss me? Today's blog is actually only about that a little bit. What it's mostly about is the flights to and from there and all of the adventures we had while on those flights.
