“This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is very important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving something in its place I have traded for it. I want it to be a gain, not a loss – good not evil. Success, not failure, in order that I shall not regret the price I paid for it.” – Heartsill Wilson
“Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you’ll look back and realize they were big things.” – Robert Brault
BHAGs!
Have Goals! Live your life with goals. Cross things off your list, add new things, repeat! I’m an old man with ADHD who is always in chase of his next BHAG (Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal). I might move quickly from topic to topic, but they all interweave together into this thing called life. I only…

Guest Bath Renovation – This Old Dean House
To repipe the house, I had to rip out the guest bathroom floor (which was going to come out anyway). Then the ceiling had to be removed (because the roof was leaking). After all the demolition and repairs happened, it could all be put back together again. Once that started, I was given a deadline…
Walnut Farming On Walnut Street (DeanoFarms)
Sometimes, rather than doing anything on my long to-do list, I’ll make up a new project and spend an entire day messing around. Tennessee presented me with a gorgeous fall afternoon, and I spent it outside with my brain turned off, harvesting my walnuts…and coming up with all kinds of crude ‘nuts’ jokes. Perfect!
Fitness Nerd Out – Using My Whoop Band, Renpho Scale, and ChatGPT To Lose Some Body Fat
I used: • Whoop Band (Wearable) for 2 years…it tracks all kind of things but calories burned • Renpho Scale (Smart Scale)…it tracks weight and bodyfat (not correctly but at least the trend) • ChatGPT (Artificial Intelligence)…to tell me the calories and macros of what I’m eating • Spreadsheet (MS Excel)…my favorite…to log it all.…
Office Renovation – This Old Dean House
The office renovation was supposed to be easy. Pull the old laundry room sink and paint. We ended up having to remove the ceiling, reframe the roof, and install a new roof (with insulation this time). What was supposed to be an easy room turned out to be a bear! Along the way, we found…
Master Bath Renovation – Part 4 – Finishing Electrical, Plumbing, Drywall, Tile
Moving water pipes, never-ending demo, moving walls, and now we are finally finishing up. We made our final decisions on where everything would go. Emily went into war room mode, figuring out the “design”. Once that was finalized, we completed the electrical, plumbing, drywall, painting, and tiling. For me, this was more fun because I…
Redoing The Front Beds – This Old Dean House
Giant yew bushes OUT… azaleas and hostas IN! Emily didn’t like the giant shrubs on the front of our house (neither did I). So we ripped them out. Then we went to the nursery and figured out what we wanted back in.
