I don’t want to discourage composting–it’s actually a really good, easy to use system. As long as you have an out-of-the-way place to store it and don’t have to move it constantly, it’s a great way to recycle food scraps and reduce your carbon footprint!

Crafty of you to throw things out when your husband’s away–I’ll admit to discreetly doing some of that but only if it’s community property. My husband is very particular about me keeping my hands off of his pack rat stash.

They’re my favorite days too, every once in awhile. I think we must have both inherited the home project work ethic gene from Dad and Mom. I did get out Sunday morning to play 9 holes–need to work on my chipping and putting but I was surprised with decent drives and fairway shots!

Thanks, Pat! I have since added an “epilogue” so Jay will also know how much you’ll appreciate the home project he does while you’re away.

Loved the pictures – I love house projects, and thanks for the tip about the worm castings – I’ve been thinking about doing it, but I think you’ve helped me to decide not to. When my husband’s away, I try to throw things out that he won’t!

Dave, Those are my favorite kind of days! All by myself getting things accomplished, eating what I like, listening and watching what I like. Sounds like a great day!

Dave, I loved this article. I can identify with the junk-food road-trip frame of mind! I’m going to get Jay to read this and perhaps it will give him some inspiration to work on our new mini-blinds while I’m in LA visiting my mother. Give our regards to Eric!
