New house didn’t have a workbench so I decided to build one.
Of course I forgot to take into account how much the foundation stuck out so I ended up having to move the legs on the right side. Still turned out pretty good.
Now I just need to get organized

Back in 2006 I had an exciting lunch break when I discovered bones washed out from under route 37. Since then the story occasionally pops back up in the news. Below are two more recent articles about them.
First article is about a woman looking for a famous relative.
This second link explains how they moved some of the graves that were washed out in 2009.
The cats know how to stay cozy and warm on a cold day like today.
It snowed recently and when I went out to check on the chickens I could see many coyote footprints around the perimeter of the chicken run. Among them was a set of huge footprints.
For comparison that’s my footprint on the right
Here’s the other photo I took showing a clear paw print . This one wasn’t as big.
Pretty excited that they are bringing back HeroQuest.
I started as a temp at Hasbro back in 2006. When they moved my department to a Dedham office in 2010 I left, only to return to Hasbro in 2011 once they moved my department back. At that time I thought I’d never leave Hasbro again. But things change. Today was my last day at Hasbro for the second time. I’m off to start a new adventure. Leaving Hasbro again was twice as hard as it was the first time I said goodbye. To all my Hasbro friends, I look forward to meeting up for a drink once Covid is over.
This morning a fox stopped by to look at the chickens. (Sorry its blurry, I took the photo through the kitchen window)
The Cascade hops I planted in the backyard haven’t done much since 2015. There were a handful of cones each year, but it wasn’t until this year that there were enough to harvest.
I collected 3.3 ounces of hops. They smelled amazing. Sweet and delicious.
But how to best use them? I decided to use them as a late add to a one gallon lager beer kit I had.
My track record with beer brewing is not the best. Out of the five or so kits I’ve made only about two have been drinkable. But I won’t get better unless I keep practicing.
Brew day went smoothly and the wort looks great. I’ll find out in a few weeks if it’s drinkable.
