No Pain, No Gain?
May 20th, 2016 at 11:08 am EDTHey Friend, Wrapping up another week. I hope you have fun stuff planned for the weekend. I know we'll be running around trying to spruce up the place before the family shows up next week... The following week I start traveling for the new job, so I'l ...
Ready to Go Out of the Box
May 19th, 2016 at 11:19 am EDTHey Friend, Like I said yesterday, guitars are amazing works of art. They enhance a living space just by being present in it. They can be quite affordable, and they can be extremely expensive (like any piece of art). But they're very functional as w ...

Knowledge, Time and Practice
May 15th, 2016 at 11:12 am EDTHey Friend, Oh... Em... GGG!!! I am sore in every region of my body. Feet. Hands. Arms. Legs. Torso. Even my head hurts. I could break it down into finer detail, but you get the picture. The process of grinding concrete is brutal. We got to the tool ...
The Weekend Grind
May 14th, 2016 at 11:11 am EDTHey Friend, Another sunny Saturday here in lovely Orlando, but your host gets to spend it indoors. Yup, I've got another day of manual labor from the honey-do list. And surprise, surprise, it's more flooring. Only this time I have a special task. I ...
These Aren't As Scary As...
May 13th, 2016 at 12:00 pm EDTHey Friend, Friday the 13th! Have you seen any of the movies? Every once in a while in the Vance household we're down for a campy slasher film for the sheer ridiculousness of the plot. Who doesn't love a good suspense flick now and then. Jason rising ...
