Before I had kids, I laughed at the joke that the happiest day of the year for a mom is when the kids go back to school in the fall. Oh, I thought that was so funny. Then I had kids. And I live in a region where it gets broiling hot outside from near […]

Saving on HVAC cooling by stopping direct sunlight heating
The direct sunlight heating of the air inside the house was a big cause of the overwhelming HVAC cooling costs. It didn’t take but a few months living down south to fully understand the impact of the heat and humidity of summer. And man, did we ever have the lesson. My wife and I moved […]
I had zero life skills when I first moved out on my own
When I first started living on my own, I learned that I had zero life skills. I didn’t know anything when it came to taking care of a place. I wasn’t even good at grocery shopping and I ate out at different fast food places too often. At least at those places, they had comfortable […]
Everybody thinks I’m an HVAC professional now
When my husband was away overseas on his last tour of duty, he told me to have a new HVAC system installed in the house. He told me to go through different HVAC companies to see about finding the best price. The old HVAC system was basically useless, and I was worried about the approaching […]
I don’t know why I have always had bad luck with professionals
For a long time, it seemed that I always had bad luck with any professional services. When I would hire plumbers, they would be rude, but they would get the work done at least. When I hired HVAC professionals, it was similar, they would act like they had better things to do and wouldn’t bother […]
We’ve been riding bikes all our lives and enjoying A/C breaks
Ever since my buddies and I were youngsters, we have enjoyed riding our bikes around the area. When we were young, we had our old school pedal bikes. We still have those bikes to this day and some of my buddies still can perform stunts on their old BMX bikes. Back during those times, we […]
I probably should have listened to my wife, but I’m happy that I installed an HVAC
I definitely should have listened to my wife when she told me it was not a good idea to try to fix our HVAC system. She said that I was going to void the warranty. I thought that sounded ridiculous, but she did warn me. She also said I wasn’t an HVAC professional, but I […]
I’ve enjoyed dancing over the years, but these days I mostly just relax
There was a time when I would get into dance competitions amongst friends and rivals. It all started out as fun in the beginning, but it became pretty serious over the years as we all worked on new dance routines and skills. While it was fun dancing wherever we could, even on the streets, it […]
I used to be a big time movie goer, but these days I mostly keep it at home
Back in the day, I used to enjoy going to the movie theatres. I always thought it was fun going with my family, but if they didn’t want to go I would often go on my own. Sometimes I would go with friends which was always cool too, but I always had to remain focused […]
Our old home was nice, but I really enjoy our country property
Before I moved out to the country, I used to live in a pretty sweet little suburban home. It was nice having a home that didn’t require a lot of renovation work. We did a few things that were necessary though. We had a new roof installed on the garage. I actually got some friends […]
