Aaron has thrown down the gauntlet!

For the past month or so Aaron has been rambling about "Bean-Boozled", which until the other day I though was a made up word in "Aaron Language" (there have been other good ones in the past to support that assumption).  Monday night however, he made me watch some videos with him to really explain what it is.  'Evan-tube' is one of his favorite YouTube channels, and now I can see why...what a fun kid and family!   I'm sure Aaron will do a full review of the game later, but I got so excited that I wanted to get something out there and share the love.

Taking the Next Step!

So my final addition (for the moment) for Brutus arrived this afternoon, and man is it awesome.  I don't know how many of you are young and spry enough to hop into and out of the bed of a 4WD truck, by I for for one am not (at least not currently).  The BedStep by AMP Research is awesome.  I installed it in just a couple minutes and it is exactly as advertised.  Check the quick video of how it works.  Highly recommended!

Brutus gets some new features...

  The one feature Brutus didn't have when we brought him home was a spray-in bed liner.  Luckily that worked out in our favor since I had to travel to Phoenix this past week.  That allowed me to leave him with Jennifer and the guys at Truck-FX.  What a great job they did as usual...now my bed is damn near bullet proof!

Surface 3 review


I got a Surface 3. I LOVE it! I have been saving my money for almost 2 years. My Surface 3 has 128 gb of hard drive storage and 4 gb of ram. The screen is 10.8 inches. I also bought a red type cover.  The surface weighs 887 grams with the type cover attached. My grandma and grandfather sent me a red Surface pen too.

I wanted the Surface 3 because it uses Windows 8 operating system. It's also a touch pad/notebook computer. The apps aren't as good with Windows 8. That's because Apple has been around longer and has more apps and Windows is newer in mobile devices.

One thing I like better about the Surface than the iPad is that the Surface can become a notebook computer and can run full Windows. The Surface can display multiple apps at a time.

The type cover snaps in the bottom with magnets. The type cover has a backlight. It is the normal, notebook keyboard that snaps in and is optional. It acts as a screen cover too.

It was released on May 5, 2015. I decided to go with the Surface 3 instead of the Surface Pro 3 because it is $200 cheaper and I did not need the pro. The Surface Pro would be good for work.

Welcome Our Newest Family Member...BRUTUS

Let me start by apologizing for misleading my Facebook followers, even though that was a tad intentional ;). BRUTUS came into our lives yesterday.  We (I) had been shopping for a new 3500 RAM with dual rear wheels to haul the new home more comfortably and safely, and I happened to luck into a deal that was just too good to pass up.  I worked all the numbers and we brought him home yesterday.

And....we're back!

Hello again everyone.  Sorry for the gap in posts, but we've had an absolutely crazy last few weeks.  Of course when other priorities come calling something has to give, but as things slow down a bit we'll get back in the swing.  I know we've got a big review coming from Aaron and Karen has started something as well so we should have a few updates for you really soon!
