I really want to post some of the pictures of the projects I’ve been doing around the house but everything is kind of half done and total chaos.

40 Days of Kia Soul EV Ownership and Time of Use Electricity
I’m 40 days into owning a 2016 Kia Soul EV. I don’t like it, I loooove it! Yes the car is boxy and a little ugly looking but with the rise in gas prices, I’m happy to have made the switch to have this as the main car.

About six months ago after seeing Little Free Libraries pop up in Burbank and all over, I decided to install one in my front yard.
