Not going to kid you, the last part of 2025 was a bit much (as you probably guessed by my lack of posting). I did think about you and more than once thought, well golly this sure is going to make quite a blog post. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will have more nuggets of insight to share of things I learned the hard way (so maybe you don’t have to).

For now I will leave you with this: When painting, you are going to want to put your cup of warm beverage further away from your dirty paint brush water than what I am showing here. lol.
