on a whim decided I wanted to build a kegerator with an interactive dashboard

he posts random jobs he does w/ shitty heavy equipment he buys for like $5k lol (and they all get 500k+ views)

you wouldn't last an hour in the aslyum where they raised me

shameless plug for people searching for Mother’s Day gifts

my wife makes these signs from kids’ handwriting

this one was from a note from our daughter

she can make one from your kid’s artwork too
