We went to Austin, TX for a Deadmau5 concert (that my wife didn’t want to go to at all). To make it up to her I tried to show her a good time exploring Austin outdoors. Austin, TX is a fun city and reminds me a little of Nashville (where we live). We like Nashville …

Why I Bought Some Bitcoin! HODL?!? I Guess?!?
I’ve been watching Bitcoin/crypto/blockchain from the sidelines for a few years. I’ve set up an exchange account, downloaded wallets, downloaded the blockchain onto my computer, and studied about it off and on for a few years. I’ve never pulled the trigger on actually buying any of it, however. I’m careful to use the word ‘buy …

My Droning, Gaming, Cattle Feeding, Speeding, Shooting, Ziplining Thanksgiving!
But…wait…there’s more! For years, we used to have our family Thanksgiving in a bar (family-owned) in a small town in Illinois! Years ago, we moved it to the farm. It is always fun. It is easier to watch the video than to explain. Subscribe to my YouTube channel. I’m going to be making lots of …

The Top Things I Learned (Or Relearned) About Investing Over The Past 2 Years!
For this post as a PDF download this ^^^ PDF. Man! October was a busy month! Then it bled right over into November. I’m just a normal guy who has a full-time job that is not in the field of investing (right now). I have a finance degree and co-founded a fintech investment performance reporting …

So Many Miles On The Harpeth River Greenway!
I have ridden so many miles on the Harpeth River Greenway. It is #7 on my favorite Nashville park list but it isn’t really a park at all; it’s a greenway. It is an awesome one too. It runs along the Harpeth River from Edwin Warner Park out to Bellevue. I ride my bike on …

I Got A Drone (DJI Mavic Air)! My First Flights and A Lame Old Guy Review
My plan is to do more traveling now that the kids are starting to leave Emily and I with an empty nest. [sad face emoji] We had already reached the point in our family life where the places I wanted to go in no way interested the kids. “These kids today!?!” I ultimately plan to …

S’more Dean (2003 – 2019)
S’more was with our family for over 16 years…but today we laid him to rest. Anyone who says a dog isn’t part of the family ain’t right in the head. I made a little tribute video and have been sporadically bursting into tears while making it. He was our little family’s first dog and he …
Website’s First Post!
No One: Absolutely No One: Deano: 38,000 word / 85-page website…and just getting started… OK! I get it! No one asked for it. No one wanted it. But that doesn’t stop me from delivering! Today I’m rolling out my website at http://www.deanorolls.com. All the information about me that no one wants or needs will now …
Podcast Update (2019)
I listen to tons of podcasts…tons! I turn off the music and turn on the brain! Listening to really, really smart people talk about things I want to learn about for a long, long time forces dumb, dumb Deano to get a little bit smarter. Generally, when I’m listening to a podcast I’m not just …
Houses Are Vehicles Too?!?
I’ve listed all my vehicles on my site. Houses?!? Vehicles?!? Sure, you sit in them. Right?!? We at least trade them like vehicles in our family. With a growing family quickly outgrowing and wearing out cars we didn’t just trade cars a lot we also moved a lot. Chronologically: Apartment – The Lakes Of Bellevue, …
