When we owned HobbyTown we would go to the HobbyTown Convention in Lincoln Nebraska.  Anyway, my son Talon and I were walking around on the floor of the convention and passed the PlayMobile booth.  After talking to the Sales rep for a little bit he decided to give me a Mr. T. key chain Lego […]

Since we are Gainfully unemployeed, I have been 3D printing Multiboard tiles that are similar to peg board but more flexable.  So far I’ve put it up in the garage, game room (or my den if you prefer) and under the stairs.  It will make it a lot nicer to find stuff. It will probably […]

My brother Tracy has taken it upon himself to get Mom’s journals and transcribe them for the family.  (If you ever read this Tracy, it is greatly appreciated!)  There was one entry where Mom and I took a trip to Idaho Falls from Boise.  She mentioned that we talked the whole way and that she […]

So, on the 29th of July 2024, we sucessfully sold the store and have […]

I got the new Samsung Tab S9 today. With part of the order I got the slim keyboard case for “free”. That is what I’m typing on now, have to see if I like it or if I prefer the bluetooth keyboard that I already have. Currently, I think I prefer the bluetooth keyboard better. […]

Today our son,Talon, purchased his first vehicle. It is a 2006 Ford Ranger XLT. Overall it seems like a nice starter truck. With the exception of the bargining over price Talon took charge on the purchase. He found the truck, found a check list on what to look at and then went through the truck […]
