Life

The other weekend the kids were out of the house, and Nicole and I did some housekeeping; along the way, a project came up to build something to hold sports medals and trophies. Using some scrap wood that Nicole had from another project and purchasing some hooks, I could put together a shelf that would hold the trophies and allow for the hanging of the medal. While working on this and altering the scrap wood shelf, it reminded me of the times I used to tinker in my grandpa’s garage when I was younger and how doing so really allowed me to build things. At the time, I would never have thought that taking things apart to see how they worked would give me a better understanding in the future of not only making something out of nothing but repairing things such as the time the pull start on the mower broke.

Another thing I got done over this productive weekend was installing Fender Flares onto my 2013 Chevy Silverado. While I am not the biggest fan of Fender Flares, it was the most affordable option to coverup some bodywork that I had to perform on the rear wheel wells; it was either that or replaced the entire bed of the truck, which would be quite the investment on a nine-year-old truck. The rear mounts didn’t fit 100% as advertised, so I had to get some self-tapping metal screws to secure the rear flares to the truck’s body. Guess I won’t be removing them anytime soon. ...

So today concludes the 100 days of blogging part two! While it was a struggle at times, I was able to conclude this exercise with a total of 95 posts as of today! 95 I am kind of in awe that I got that many, even with times when I thought I was way behind … until next time! Now back to your regular scheduled program.

I have been meaning to make a post about this since February 11th which was my 3-year anniversary at Kinsta, but alas time has gotten away from me. When I started at Kinsta I came into a sales role, I was the sole salesperson for some time before others joined in and things started to take shape. I am now the Sales Engineer for Kinsta, and my days are filled with working with our Sales Representatives, answering their questions, and helping to close sales using my technical background. ...

Well, I wouldn’t call it a traditional vacation, more so just a break from blogging, which went against everything in the 100 days of blogging challenge, but I had an excuse… I was just being lazy! While I am enjoying this challenge, I also don’t want to feel like I am forced to blog something, which, in most cases, has been some random nothingness just to fill a day. I plan on continuing this challenge to the end, but I might end up being a little laxer and forgiving to myself in terms of making a post every day. ...
