I wish. These recent weekends have been anything but Sunday Fundays, as we have been in high gear working on the house. Since moving in, it seems like it has been nothing but project after project, but the end is near! I’m hoping in the following week, likely two, everything SHOULD be wrapping up. We spent this weekend wiping down the new drywall, priming, and starting to paint. Next week the new floors will be put in the bathroom, closet, and master bathroom. After that, all that will be left is finishing up the bathroom tile, toilet, and vanity. I can’t tell you how happy I will be once everything is wrapped up so we can finally kick back with our feet up and enjoy a weekend without any major projects that need to be completed. ...

Anyone who knows me knows that I love Tacos 🌮, and while I can’t always get a nice authentic street taco, I will settle for a ground beef taco at home. And while in the past, I have not personally had any issues with how I grind/mash up the ground beef; I figured that there had to be a better way to get a finer consistency of the meat. I searched Google and Amazon and came across the OXO Good Grips Ground Meat Chopper. While I had my doubts, I figured for the price, I would give it a try. ...

With the recent upgrade to Fortnite, I saw that the bandwidth at the house was being saturated with these 17GB updates going to 3 different Playstations. With that being said I started to think there had to be a way to set up a local report, or a cache to serve all the updates/installs to save not only bandwidth but also time. A quick search landed me on Lancache which totes itself with the motto of “LAN Party game caching made easy“. Sounded like an instant win, especially when I saw that it consisted of only two Docker containers to get it up and running. ...

While I am a huge fan of the Phillips hue lighting system, it is expensive there is no doubt about that. Whenever I visit Home Depot or any other big box store I try to look around the clearance sections as you would be surprised at how often Phillips Hue lights are sitting there selling for a fraction of the cost. After moving to our house I started to set up my office space and knew that I wanted to add in some wall accent lighting using a Phillips Hue LED strip, sadly at about $180 for the 5m (16ft section) it was going to add up in order to add lighting to the selected wall as it was just about 16ft in length, and that was not including the main piece with the part that actually connects to the hub. ...

While looking over Jons site during this 100 days of blogging challenge, I noticed that he had a page discussing the use of affiliate links on his site. I figured that since almost every single link on my site to a product is an affiliate link of some sort, I should shamelessly steal a page from his book and add an Affiliate Disclaimer page to my site as well.
