Happy Beer Saturday. This weekend, we went out for an Edgar Poe Speakeasy experience, followed up by a visit to a local Legend, The Ormond Garage. This was a nice Brown Ale when I started. I'd show you

Just got back on a bike. Out of shape and over 60. What to do? Start off E-asy with an E-Bike! Thanks to @friendlymoose for the invite and running the group! I haven't been on a bicycle for probably a

We've been wanting to have Solar Power for a long time. I've spent many weekends researching, several weekdays interviewing different companies and taking bids. We finally pulled the trigger a few weeks
