What a week. I've been crushed by work deadlines and paralyzed by hardware and software issues. Now, it is Thursday, and I think I'm back on track. After last week's post, I went out of town for the weekend. So, I don't have any progress photos to share today. There's still a pile of used…

When the ball dropped on 2022, I wasn't ready to think about plans for BHH at all. In the last quarter of 2021, I was recovering from the whiplash of "Let's refinance and stay here ten years or more" to "We're moving to Utah"--four words I never thought I would say. Add in all the…
