We made it to Milwaukee. Spent two nights in the old Pabst Blue Ribbon Brewery building. One of the buildings is now an amazing hotel that has kept much of the history in tact (see the original copper kettles from the 1890’s). Can’t think of a better place to stay…
The watch lovers at Bathys Hawaii Watch Company decided to bypass the Smartwatch trend and make “the world’s most accurate wristwatch”. While this claim may be true, the first prototype looks a bit funny. Dick Tracy called and wants his watch back. This ultra-accurate wristwatch doesn’t take the typical “atomic…
Kia already has an electric car, but unless you live in Korea you most likely haven’t seen it. Looks like North America will get a shot at Kia’s latest electric car the Electric Kia Soul next year. The announcement is still very fresh and Kia hasn’t released any pictures or…
Went to Wisconsin and ate some cheese. Thought it would be cool to see the cows that the milk came from so it was off to a tour at the Hincheley’s farm. We not only got to milk a cow, and see one pee, but we also were able to…
Think of the Makita BFR750 LXT Cordless Autofeed Screwdriver ($420) as the machine gun of screwdrivers. If you are serious about deck building or laying drywall then you probably already have this cordless autofeed screwdriver. No need to give up on power (4,000 RPM four-pole motor) or speed with this…
I often draw a parallel between humans and locusts. We both tend to eat everything in site with little forward thinking of where the next meal/resource will come from. Bums me out just thinking about it. That is why I try to vote with my wallet and support products like…
Made it to Mt Rushmore. The picture says it all. Funny billboards out here… one of them pictured below on the way to Minnesota. Everything seems bigger out here, especially the chairs. Went to Summit Brewery in St. Paul, MN. The beer was OK… the tour was bleh. Steve still…
Let me start off by saying that I am a bit of a GoPro power user. We are about 30 days deep on our US road trip and have 4 GoPro Hero cameras (two Hero2 and two Hero3) in the car at all times. We even have one that rides…
Today almost everyone has an HD video camera, GoPro, or even a smart phone with HD video camera built in. And while those cameras are cool and serve a purpose, they aren’t going to protect you in your car for day-to-day driving. In my opinion everyone should have a video…
Arrived at the East entrance of Yellowstone Park and made Shoshone Lodge our home for two days. Hiked scared for 6 miles in grizzly bear territory. We each held on to a can of bear spray and looked backwards anytime we stepped on a twig. There were grizzly bear (and…
