Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 8 (4/6)
Things have been pretty busy over here. I was not able to work at all yesterday, and today I didn’t have much time after I took a kid to soccer practice. But I was actually pretty stoked to continue work, so as soon as I got home and put the kids to bed, I went…

Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 6 (4/4)
Day 5 was Sunday aka a Day of Rest. So no work done until Monday (4/4/11). I had originally coordinated with my coworker Geoff to come over on Saturday. He is also building a playset this summer, so the thought was that we would swap labor – he’d help me on mine, and I’d help…

Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 4 (4/2)
Friday night it stormed pretty good, with some ice / hail thrown in for good measure. I worried as I lay in bed. I mean obviously the playset can’t be hidden from the elements forever, right? It is going to live outside after all! Still, we hadn’t sealed or stained it yet and I worried…

Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 3 (4/1)
Day 3 was another cold day. When I got home, I immediately set out to continue progress! I had stored the first part of the playset underneath the carport to protect it from the elements, but obviously that was not going to be possible very much longer. You can see the first section in the…

Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 1 (3/30)
As we mentioned previously, Day 1 was Wednesday March 30th. The playset was delivered in the afternoon and my wife let me know while I was at work. I know that the stereotype of these types of endeavors is that it’s a ton of work and not enjoyable at all. But at least at this…

Skyfort Playset Installation – Choice and delivery
Our family of seven had had a playset on our “list” for several years before we actually purchased one. We wanted to buy one soon enough that our kids (at the time ranging in age from 10 to 2) were young enough to still enjoy it but old enough to be able to do stuff…

2010 Miami Triathlon Report
It is once again that time of year – time for another triathlon report from TPMHTDM! I know my faithful readers have been waiting for a full report, and while I will attempt to blame external forces, the delay in the writeup for this race is mostly due to laziness. As always, you may also…

Day of Good Deeds!
Okay so I know it’s been awhile for TPMHTDM. Like Carolyn has said – facebook is killing my blog. (Softly. With its song) But Saturday was my “Day of Good Deeds!” As you will see if you read on, it proved to be a good deeds day of mixed success. The day started out like…

Miller family humor
So today my oldest son and I worked on some “fortunes”. These are like fortune cookies I guess, where you open them up and have a little saying inside. These are all his original jokes Why did Scott pour water in his pants? To look like he peed his pants Why did the kid break…

2009 Staycation, Part 4
Part 4 of the Great 2009 Staycation (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3). Sorry for the delay in getting this up, but I have finally gotten around to it. So, Tuesday, we originally were going to head downtown, but for various reasons, it didn’t work out great. So instead we just took kind of…
