The Fun of Home-Ownership
I come from a family of do-it-yourselfers. It keeps us busy on the weekends – every weekend, actually. My mom says my dad does better with projects, which probably explains why we’ve built a dock, a barn, a greenhouse, and countless other projects over the years. Earlier this summer, we had a little issue pop…

Wisconsin Is a Fabulous Place
We went to Wisconsin to play at the Band on the Sand festival for the third year in a row. We get to meet so many great people on the road, and Wisconsin is no exception. In fact, it was one of the first, if not the first, places where we felt at home on…

Burning up the Road
Apparently Jessie and I have been burning up the road. How do I know? In the last seven days, we have replaced seven tires. I already posted about the two camper tires last week. Today we brought five new tires into the family. This weekend we had a show in Florida, and Jessie’s car needed…

The Whole Family Is Home Again
Since my last post, we have had some excitement. After packing up in Nebraska, we headed for home. We knew it would be a long drive, we just didn’t realize it would take as long as it did. As we were driving down Interstate 80, I looked in my left rear-view mirror to check on…

Wyoming – What a Place!
What a trip we’ve had so far! After playing for a great crowd in Lincoln, Nebraska, we set off for Centennial, Wyoming. None of us have ever been to Wyoming. Cam has never been west of Texas. Neither Cam nor Jessie had ever seen the Rocky Mountains. All of that changed this weekend. As we…

Off and On the Road Again
First, the off the road story: Shortly after the last post about riding my bike to work, I did something stupid. About a week and a half ago, I was fixin’ to head home on a Friday afternoon on my bike. I wanted to pump up my tires before starting my homeward trek, so I…

Saving Money + Healthy Living
I’ve always been pretty active. My wife will tell you I can’t sit still, which isn’t far from the truth. I completed my first half-marathon this April. On Saturdays, I’m always working in the yard, on the house, or on the pop up camper. I started thinking and then talking to a few coworkers about…

A Fly-Fishin’ Musician
I got into fly fishing in August of 2016. It has quickly become my escape from music; my outlet to help me clear my head. More on that in a different post. Jessie and I had a great weekend this weekend. It started off with playing for a private event on Friday night. We had…

Our New Tour (Camper) Bus!
Jessie and I have been talking about a pop up camper for a while. It would make it so easy to pack up and tour, save money that we would have spent on hotels, and we can take a little bit of home with us wherever we go! So several weeks ago, we bought a…

Steak and Green Beans
Jessie and I have decided to blog some of the meals we cook. I don’t mean to brag, but we’re some pretty good chefs. She made some curry potatoes that are the jealousy of the lunch table at my office. Tonight I made steak and green beans for lunch for us tomorrow (because we both…
