life at home: Google Waving... - 10/21/09 11:16 PM
I just got my Google Wave invite. I have watched a few of the videos, and I am going to have to give this thing a rip. Combining text, chat, video, audio and a bunch of things I haven't even thought of yet... with email... seems pretty cool.
Thinking back not … (7 comments)

life at home: Bada Bing, Rada Room... ba - 10/04/09 11:46 AM
My wife has been wanting a Roomba for a long time. Kind of like I have wanted a TIG welder for a long time. I have a MIG welder... and it works quite well for what I do, but the TIG would make prettier welds. I don't NEED it, but it … (13 comments)

life at home: Do you have a renovation/improvement/maintenance plan? You should... - 09/20/09 06:15 PM
Yep... another plan.
But, as a home owner, there are a lot of things to keep up with. Air filter changes, painting and gutter cleaning. Those are just some of the tasks that we need to schedule... and then there is caulking, raking, trimming shrubs and fertilizing the lawn. That isn't … (4 comments)

The "Lunch Lady" did NOT have an easy job.

life at home: Total Power... would you expect anything else? - 08/12/09 11:01 PM
Back a few months ago, my neighbor had a large tree come down in his yard. Several of us came out to give him a hand.

In hockey, among the tough guys, there is a common call. When they are getting ready to throw down, they often say "Come and Get it"... Dan Sullivan is a tough guy. As he jokingly says, he earns his money in the penalty box. But that is only the Dan Sullivan … (3 comments)

That is right... I took a vacation from blogging. I haven't missed more than a handful of days in two years on my blog at LaneBailey.com. I have pre-written posts, and even post-dated a couple by a few hours.

Longtime readers of my blog may have noticed that I write many of my letters to my father here. I lost him in 1997, but I still think he reads my blog. I try to limit the online letters to him to just a few times each year... his birthday, Father's … (7 comments)

We got a new dog... All of my Twitter followers and Facebook friends and FaceBook fans have known this for a week. They got to see the pics within minutes of picking her up from the shelter (actually, the vet... the shelter sent her over for a little maintenance). But this … (17 comments)

Happy 77th Birthday, Dad.
I wish I could give you a gift worth even 10% of what you have given me. The lessons that you taught me, and the values that you instilled in me are the most amazing gifts one could receive. Now that I am a Dad, those gifts … (2 comments)

Do you know your neighbors? I don't know all of mine... I know some of them, and I know more of them today than I did a few days ago. After a tree fell next to a neighbor's house, they got to host an impromptu party of neighbors (the wail of … (11 comments)

life at home: Monsters vs. Aliens - 04/11/09 11:49 PM
Mrs. GarageGuy and I took a couple of youngsters to see Monsters vs. Aliens a couple of days ago... 3D and on an Imax screen. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. And the Imax screen at the Regal, Mall of Georgia is showing the movie in 3D.
The boys, almost 5 … (4 comments)
