Whats Up With The Headlights? 07.30.09

Quite often I am asked that question while filling up at a gas station, or sitting at a redlight.  Most assume that one of the headlights is out, but the real reason is all in the beams.  One is a low beam, and the other is the high beam.

Zebulon 07.26.09

Friday after work, we drove out to Zebulon, North Carolina so we could do a job there on Saturday.  It was about an 8 hour drive, so that gave us plenty of time to shuffle through album after album on the iPod to stay entertained.  I don’t think we really got to see much at [...]

Dormers Add Spice 07.12.09

On Saturday, I went and helped put some shingles on my parents new place.  This was the first time I’ve seen it in person since the roof was put on the porch and the dormers were set into place.  They were a little bit hesitant at first on putting dormers on it, but I think [...]

Uncanny Resemblance: Joe Biden & Walter 07.07.09

Over the weekend my dad was watching some Jeff Dunham show clips on the internet, which I had seen before but watched again because they are so funny.  He does quite a few characters, but I think my favorite is Walter the grumpy old man.  Right away after watching him again I noticed that he [...]

Rising Unemployment Concern 07.02.09

It’s hard not to be concerned with seeing the unemployment rate rise month after month.  Just today the numbers were released bringing the national percentage up to 9.5%, a 26 year high.  You hear all of these predictions like, “expecting to only see another 1 million jobs lost for the rest of the year” and [...]
