“This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is very important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving something in its place I have traded for it. I want it to be a gain, not a loss – good not evil. Success, not failure, in order that I shall not regret the price I paid for it.” – Heartsill Wilson
“Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you’ll look back and realize they were big things.” – Robert Brault
BHAGs!
Have Goals! Live your life with goals. Cross things off your list, add new things, repeat! I’m an old man with ADHD who is always in chase of his next BHAG (Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal). I might move quickly from topic to topic, but they all interweave together into this thing called life. I only…

Will They Crank? Moped and Antique John Deere Tractor (DeanoFarms)
When you have stuff with pistons in them that need to be hand cranked, you often ask…Will They Crank? Max bought a Suzuki FA50 moped. It was just like the one we used to ride at Pipa’s house when I was growing up. Seeing his 190+ pounds self riding his 2.5-horsepower “hog” was very funny!…
DEANO Farms – FINALE – Getting The Farm Ready To Sell
Red Ryder Farms is for sale. I had many a fun, relaxing, peaceful day on our little pile of dirt. As I was getting it ready to list, I got to the point where I didn’t even want to sell it. But, with a historic home in the mix, I don’t need an extra to-do…
Sideyard (Phase 2) – The Structure – This Old Dean House
The second phase of our sideyard project is now in place. The structure is built. My favorite part of this project is that I didn’t have to do any of it! I also had a birds-eye view of it as I got to watch it outside my office window. I was a lot warmer than…
Best State Parks In Tennessee (Best of Tennessee)
A few years ago, we set out in our RV (as new RVers) to visit all the state parks in TN. We did that (all 58 of them at that time). Along the way, we did a lot of RV trailer camping, tent camping, hiking, biking, kayaking, cave exploring, and learning about history. We visited…
This Old Dean House – One Year Renovation Anniversary
As I finished up the steps in the foyer, I realized that it had been exactly one year since we closed on the house. I had ripped the carpet off those steps the very first day. Exactly one year later, I was reinstalling the last spindle on the completed steps. The past year has been…
Refinishing The Staircase – This Old Dean House
The first thing we did when we bought the house was rip the carpet off the steps to see what we had. We had something, but it was under layers of paint. So, hard to know what. Refinishing the hardwood floors in the entire house took a lot out of us, and we abandoned refinishing…
