I was really happy about the reasonably easy install of the new dishwasher. I was celebrating too soon. Somehow (and this might be from some movement after the first run) every single joint that had water in it started leaking. The worst was the elbow that goes right into the dishwasher. There was a trickle…

New Dishwasher Day
A dishwasher replacement should be pretty straight forward. They’re the same size, they need the same things, from the outside all looks pretty standard. I should know by now that nothing in this house is standard. Getting the old one out was hang up number one. The tile flooring was put in after the dishwasher….
Fishing Report – Watkins Mill Lake
The participants in the Mo-Yak Tournament Fishing Series seem to be mostly south of KC. On the tournament’s Discord server, Austin asked if anyone else was from KC and I responded. We chatted a little and met up at Watkins Mill Lake on Saturday, March 20th. I downloaded a map from Genesis Maps and sent…
Used this bait wrong …
The water’s cold and I’ve been struggling getting bits. I tied on this cheap Ozark Trail (Walmart brand) jerkbait to coax out any bass that might be suspended. I couldn’t really tell how deep it was diving down, so I threw it close enough to see it in the water and just started cranking. It…
SharePoint Archive with Azure File Storage and Cosmos DB
Two things to get out here first: 1. I can’t believe I’m using so many Microsoft products and 2. I really dislike SharePoint (I’d say hate, but I’m trying to keep positive here). In this particular instance, there was a size/performance limitation of a SharePoint site. The owner of the data wanted all of the…
Monkey Bar Struggle
Sawyer has been going with me on my post-lunch walk. Yesterday we walked a bit on the Lake Vista trail. Today, he got his way and we went to Ward Park so he could work on his monkey bar skills.
Nailed It!
Driving safety is a big point for the company I work for. Rather, safety as a whole, but driving a car is statistically the most dangerous thing. Due to that, we have monthly training and test on safe driving. This month’s lesson … “Safely Navigating Rural Roads”! I think my time growing up in Odessa…
First Largemouth of 2021
Hot dang! Now it feels like fishing! Wind was awful today so the kayak stayed in the garage. I hopped around to a few places and finally got some action at the spillway at Lake Jacomo. This was my first time fishing with a ned rig so I didn’t have a good feel for how…
Weekend Fishing Recap – March 7th, 2021
This is a follow up to Weekend Fishing Recap – March 6th, 2021 – Justin Penney Sawyer and I fished quite a bit early last year, but school diminished that a bit. After COVID and Winter, it’s been tough to get him away from screens. I finally just made him go with me. We took…
Weekend Fishing Recap – March 6th, 2021
I’m still new to fishing overall and very new to kayak fishing. That said, I tend to jump fully in to anything that I do. This year, I’m committed myself to fishing in two tournaments in the Mo-Yak Fishing Series. I preparing for that I’ve upgraded my boat, started learning the electronics, and most importantly,…
