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.

On a personal side note, before I write about what I was going to write about today, if anyone has any tips for getting rid of laryngitis please let me know.

Two planners needed a fence

Rainpocalypse 2017
The ongoing drama in Washington is a pretty big deal but what's an even bigger deal? Rain in SoCal. Seriously, the top news story on our local news channel is not about politics, it's about rain and for good reason, by California standards this is a pretty big storm, "Heavy Rain Blankets Southern California" to be … Continue reading Rainpocalypse 2017
70s Pyrex, Curtains and Ugly Washer Hookups
On Thursday night, I received a Facebook message from a stranger whom I purchased some Pyrex from off of my local Buy/Sell/Swap Facebook page last month. She still had a few pieces leftover from her onslaught of buyers and wanted to know if I wanted to take a look at the remaining pieces and buy … Continue reading 70s Pyrex, Curtains and Ugly Washer Hookups
