Fathers & Sons campout

Over the weekend I had the chance to take my son to our churches Father's & Sons campout.  I use to go to these camps with my Father when I was younger, and I have always been looking forward to the time when I could take my own sons.

A Great Deal - If You Don't Mind a Little Dirt

My local BSA council is currently in the process of replacing all of their older Springbar tents at their council scout camps, which allowed me to pick up a great tent at even a greater price.

Watching TV on your computer with encrypted digital cable.

I, like a lot of people use my computer as a DVR. That was until my cable provider decided to start encrypting almost all of my TV stations, effectively squashing the DVR concept on my computer. It wasn't that bad when I lost all of my premium stations as I didn't record much from them, but then one day I also lost my HD local channels.

Spring Skiing at its Best

When I think of spring skiing I tend to think of slushy snow that turns into ice. It usually brings back memories of injuring my shoulder on the last day of the season because of the "spring" conditions (oh and a bit of me goofing around). What I do not think of is fresh powder, with beautiful untouched hillsides on a gorgeous 50 degree sunny day.
