  Ko-Ko Pro

  

  Rehydrating Ko-Ko Pro proved to be more of a chore than we thought it would be. About 10 gallons of water later (5 more than advertised) and a lot of elbow grease and we had wet and sloppy Ko-Ko Pro. Where's the light and fluffy stuff?

  Building the Garden Space

  

  Having a vegetable garden close to your house becomes more complicated when you have veggie loving dogs. We decided to build a fence within a fence to keep our veggies safe from any prowling puppies. We couldn't have done it without the faithful "Mary", DH's skidsteer.

  Potential for ONYX & no Hyenas We’re headed up to York, Pennsylvania for an exciting weekend full of flyball!  But it’s not just any flyball tournament.  This is the Coconut Classic Flyball Tournament.  In my personal opinion it is the premier flyball tournament of all flyball tournaments.  This is the exact tournament where my DH became the 2009 Dream Team Box [...]

  [Cycling Gear] Part 1: Why I’m In Love With Brooks Saddlery I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a little bit of a gear junkie.  When I find a new hobby or something that I really get into I want to buy the latest and greatest to outfit myself.  Sometimes I go a little overboard… which makes for some cramped storage space in our basement [...]
