A Short Review: Falling Skies Season 3, Episode 1 (and a Rant)
I’ve been a fan of post apocalyptic fiction for as long as I can recall. Mad Max was a phenomenal story to me. Hell, I even liked The Postman and Waterworld, though both were a wee bit on the long-winded side. (What is it about Kevin Kostner and long movies?) So when this genre hits […]
Who Needs Trees When You Have Friends Like These?
Today’s sponsor is slightly ironic, since I received a phone call from them today, and this article is based around them and the results of that phone call. SB knows what my interests are, and he does a lot of the same things that BlueTang does to me – gets me interested in something off-the-wall, […]
Preparing for Old Age
Last night, Stephanie over at TheWannabeHomesteader.com wrote about her plan for when she reaches the age of needing assistance. Like me, she figures that in her marriage, the woman will outlive the man, so she expects to be around to help him in his late years. This is how I expect my life to be, […]
Product Review: CocoDrill
Yesterday, I wrote about how to use coconut meat to make coconut milk and coconut flour. Making coconut milk is easy, unless the meat is still in the coconut. Getting it and the water out without stress or mess is a far more difficult task. I’ve seen the islanders using a machete to remove husks […]
How To Make Coconut Milk (and Coconut Flour)
We use a lot of coconut milk in our cooking. However, the prices keep creeping higher and higher, so I’ve started looking for alternatives for buying canned coconut milk. And since there are loads of coconuts that grow around here, why can’t I just make my own? It turns out I can, and rather easily, […]
Archery – for Kids
SB has been at it again… My 13 year old daughter put it best, “He is good at getting dad into things, like fun stuff…. and trouble”. It’s true. And somehow, even the trouble I get into with him as the cause ends up being fun. This time, he didn’t involve me as much as […]
How My Day Went – Kayak Fishing
I spent the day on the water with my friend, Zach. Zach is 15, and owns an Ocean Kayak Trident 13 Angler kayak. A very nice ride, and one I helped him acquire (read about him getting it here) My kayak is an Ocean Kayak Prowler 13 Angler, the older brother of the OK Trident […]
Night Fishing Report
With plans to go kayak fishing this morning (yes I’m writing at 9am instead of being out on the water), I had my friend Zach stay over so we could get an early start. I’m not really sure how well the rest of the day will go, but so far, pffft! Part of the cause […]
Random Pics (and some of my Back Story)
I’ve always had a love for photography. I was the staff photographer for my high school yearbook, and found that it opened a LOT of doors for me and provided a free pass to get away with things other couldn’t. Getting out of class, getting into sports events for free, and EVERYONE trying to ham […]
