Jeff and I have been thinking about buying a set of ludwig drums from musicians friend for Dale to use at home to rehearse what he has been learning in band class. I have some real concerns about the noise level, and whether I’ll end up suffering with major migraines from the noise. Jeff has been trying to convince me that we can get something called a drum muffler set and that will make the drums quieter. I’d like to see a demonstration of how well they work.

We love to go camping in the spring of the year, one major change between camping in the summer months and camping in the spring is that we use an air mattress to sleep on in the spring due to the damp ground and colder temperatures. I found a great site with an air bed review that had a lot of useful information and was very helpful in choosing our next air mattress. The Internet is a wonderful resource to have!

When we first moved into our new house, we did not even think about the fact that the kitchen cabinets did not have any knobs or handles on them. The cabinets all had small indentations on the top (or bottom) where we could easily nestle our fingers and use them to open the doors. It wasn’t until we were putting our dishes and silverware away that we opened one of the kitchen drawers and found a plastic bag full of very ugly kitchen hardware that we realized that someone had seemed to think that the cabinets should have handles and knobs.
We decided that we liked the clean look of the smooth finish, and decided to not bother drilling holes in the cabinet doors to install the knobs and handles. We really didn’t need them, we didn’t like the ones that were provided, and we didn’t want to spend the money to buy new ones. So we left them off, and now we have one less (or actually several less) thing(s) we need to clean when we are cleaning the kitchen!

Harley Davidson is finally getting their museum open, this will make our trip to Wisconsin a more enjoyable trip at least for me, the wife is happy with visiting relatives and going to the Dells. The trip is not a lot of fun for me unless something I enjoy is thrown in, the new Harley Davidson museum will make the trip for me, I will be happy the rest of the year if I get to go. I own a Harley and I am very interested in the older bikes that are not around as much, I enjoy the old style bikes they have more class than any of the new bikes on the road anymore.

When I dropped by Dwight’s house to pick up the chain saw that he had borrowed last fall, I was surprised to see that he was wearing one of those holter test things strapped to his shoulder. He had never mentioned to me that he had any heart problems before! When I asked him what was going on he told me that his cardiologist had found some problems when he was doing his stress test and she wanted him to wear this machine for 72 hours so she can try to figure out what his heart is doing, or not doing. That sure is a scary thing!
