Hi! My name is Mike and my wife calls me Wonder Bread. She calls me that because I can fix or build almost anything. “Almost” being the operative word (but, I’ve got her fooled!). I don’t like to be idle, physically or mentally and that leads to projects. Lots of projects. If I don’t know something, I like to learn about it. I never really liked school. Still don’t understand the reason for Algebra. Am I right? However, I do love learning how to fix, use or build things that help in real life problems.
I love being self-reliant. I don’t like feeling like I have to depend on others to do things for me. I love challenges and seeing how far I can push myself. I have had only a few trips to the emergency room. Now I just buy lots of butterfly bandages, peroxide and glue. All good.
I work in an office all day (and killing me slowly), but bills have to be paid. I started this blog as an outlet and to hopefully find like minded dudes and dudettes. I hope to share with you my projects, my achievements and failures and anything else I find interesting.
My wife, Nancy, will also be contributing at times with food and gardening tips/ideas. She has stayed at home with our two kids, who are now 15 and 13. She has homeschooled them since they were little. Lots of work goes into raising kids, homeschooling, and putting up with me, so she’s a saint!
We also have a lovable and very excitable black lab mix. He’s a little over 1 year old and a bundle of energy. When he’s not sticking his nose up people’s butts, he loves to try catch squirrels, birds, flying leaves, dust. Yep, he’s perfect for our family.
Glad you are here. Hope you keep coming back!
Wonder Bread out!
