July 2026 Updates

I'm excited to celebrate our 250th anniversary of America.  I love the 4th of July.  I love family time and fireworks with patriotic music playing.  It always brings a happy tear to my eye.  I wish everyone loved it as much.  Unfortunately some people spend all their time hating on everything that makes us a great country.  We have our flaws.  There will always be issues.  But there is no where else Id rather be.

Customers can mix and match dishes from a variety of restaurant concepts, making it possible for everyone in a group to order something different without placing separate orders.

One 50 Fitness is now open at 37670 Mohawk Drive in Charlotte Hall.

April 2025 Updates

April showers bring may flowers!  Well not only rain but warmer weather and pollen of course.  We are breaking into the tolerable temperatures where I want to spend more time outside messing around in the garage or start planning my garden. I started cleaning out boxes of stuff and you realize how attached you get to little junk.  I don't need it but I don't just want to toss it in the trash either.  Maybe someone could use it. Should I sell it? Maybe a yard sale.  No I don't want to get up that early and deal with people bargaining over a dollar.  I do that enough at work.  Facebook marketplace?  Where people ask if its still available and then never answer you again.  Maybe just donate it and take a write off.  Now the box sits in your trunk for a month because you keep forgetting to take it.  Then I need to put something bigger in the car so I take the box out and put it back in the garage and there it sits.  Oh well I tried. Lets go to another box....
