April 22, 2020 I finished all of my chores yesterday thanks to the wimpy, yet ultra-effective, mini electric chainsaw.

April 11, 2020 Being on Full Quarantine isn’t all that bad, unless you decide to venture out today or tomorrow when the local government has been very clear on their messages. I wasn’t planning on writing this weekend until my good friend Chuck forgot about today also being added as a full quarantine day. He […]
