Today Brenda and I picked up one of these
from Lowe's. It boasts up to a 50% quieter operating level and 20% more volume of air handled. I would agree with the air handling part, it has about three to four times more blades on the new unit, but here are the test results regarding the audible differences I recorded.
The original fans decibel level:
The new fans decibel level:
It's definitely quieter, but not 50% quieter...
I guess that is why they include the "up to" part.
It is, what it is.

Check out this very effective app. It allows me to print anything from my tablet to my home printer from anywhere via a wifi connection . I'm not sure if it works on multiple platforms or not. I'm using it with Android.
Go check it out.

I'm cutting with the beast, a10" Dewalt Radial Arm saw (*insert a Tim the Toolman grunt here*) to cut some high profile base board for the main bathroom. This beast is an old saw but a good one. They don't make them like this anymore. Cabinets are installed, pictures will follow...

Here are some pictures I captured during the week of Easter.
Here is Gary, my FIL (father in-law). My BDB, (like bff, Beer Drinkin' Bud...).
Bridget and Bethany each had a friend sleep over on Good Friday Eve. Above, is a shot of Bridget and Echo on our see-saw/teeter-totter. Is there another name? I don't really care for either those.
Above, is another infamous VSP (van self portrait), of everyone ready to go home.
I found this in the archives, Bridget on Easter morning in 2005.
I requested that she pose in the same position for a comparison shot. Where did the time go?
Here are some great shots of our two angels...they are growing up way too fast.
They both requested Brenda to braid there hair to give it a little curl/kink for Easter Morning.
A couple of more self portraits.
Here Brenda, Gary's girlfriend, took this of us in front of our church. It could have been a nice shot, I was so busy telling her what to do with my camera, that I look pretty disgusted. I don't have any control issues, really.
I call this "The Old Man & His Girls".
A nice picture of a great couple...
..and one shot proving, that the Old Man can actually attend a worship service and the sanctuary won't come a crumblin' down.
We made a point to celebrate his 59th Birthday while Brenda was in town and everyone was together for Easter Dinner.

This is the first time I have actually used this setting. I'm not sure I'm
using it correctly??? It is still a pretty cool effect.

Family, a set on Flickr.
Yesterday, we traveled to the Pittsburgh Zoo and the North Shore Connector. I snapped some shots during both adventures. My favorite from the zoo are of the baby gorilla. The architecture of the new facility housing the T, is very cool.
I'm posting this with my new tablet, it's taking a while to get used to.
Thanks for visiting my blog and have a great week! - Apr 10, 12
I took this yesterday, it was a pretty intense storm cloud.

It’s been sporadic at best, as far as me posting on this blog. I’ve just been living life out from behind the camera or monitor of my pc…
Bridget and her friend Emma participated in a science fair which was crazy busy…too many people in one place if you ask me…
We went to lunch this past weekend with Lori…here is a picture of us before we left.
Here are couple of self portraits taken with out me knowledge and not taken by me…
One picture of Georgie that I took.
And one of Bethany and her friend Lindsay.
Thanks for checking out the random photos, and everyone have a wonderful Easter weekend.

I'm stylin' with a hat that my mom gave the girls...I may just wear it fishing. Don't be jeolous.

This was my view for a couple of hours yesterday. We spent the afternoon at a funeral/Memorial service...please say a prayer for the Gourley family. My Brother inlaw's fiance's (Holly's) mother passed away this past week. She also lost her dad just over one year ago... Thanks for your prayers.

Well, I have a man cold. While this morning my head was all stuffy, the nighttime cold medicine hadn't completely worn off, and my nights sleep was interrupted by a storm that seemed to hover over our house for hours…I was resting on the couch in the living room while the girls were talking over their breakfast. Something grabbed my attention, I thought our youngest, Bridget asked our oldest Bethany, “What was a circumcise?” I opened my eyes and was feverously processing my thoughts and how I was going to approach this conversation, without standing up and screaming “WHAT?!?” As the sweat began to bead on my forehead, Bethany said, “Hugh”? Bridget again a little differently, asked “What is the circumcise?” As I went to sit up on the couch, still processing, but with “WHAT?!?” being right on the tip of my tongue, Bethany states, “It’s one cup.” Whew…thankfully I then realized Bridget was asking:"
“What is a/the serving size?”
The past few weeks I have been busy doing a ton of stuff but not really accomplishing much. I did buy a elliptical from someone on Craigslist.org last week for $20 and took it all apart, cleaned it, made a few minor repairs, sanded the entire thing and threw on a coat of paint. Here is the finished product:
One of the foot rests were broken off, a pretty easy fix, and who ever put it together from the store crushed a cable not allowing the magnetic resistance system to work. $10 in paint, $20 in hardware, $20 for the machine and about a day worth of work, it ends up being a $50 dollar investment. I’m glad I took a chance on it. Now the real payoff will be when the entire family starts to use it daily. I have used it, this is day three and I feel it in my legs…Here is to shedding some much needed pounds.
Last week I took Bridget skating, kind of like a daddy/daughter date. We had fun!
Now onto some more pressing issues. I feel a little bad, I was supposed to go have lunch with my parents today and help my dad with a few things around their house, but with this cold, I don’t dare go and infect them. Talking about shedding some pounds I do plan on going to the barber to shed some of this:
Which may be at least a couple pounds…pray for my barber.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Yesterday, the family and I sat and watched The Woodcarver. Starring John Ratzenberger as Ernest in this good movie that is centered around a troubled kid with a broken relationship with his parents in the midst of a separation and looming divorce and Ernest who is resentful for losing his son and his wife earlier in life. It’s focus is Restoring their faith in God and in Life. It has a powerful message that has numerous points of resolve. I do recommend this movie to all, the whole family enjoyed it. The Hill Family gives it four thumbs up!
My favorite line in the movie:
"You can either lend a hand or get out of the way, I'm pretty sure I know what choice Jesus would make."

I am teaching myself how to play the guitar...This is my first song.
It's a little rough around the edges, but I surprised myself by being able to actually have the coordination to strum and sing at the same time. Multi-tasking is not easy for me. So here it is, my first song with my guitar. It’s a little rough around the edges…
I have had this guitar for almost five years, I picked it up on clearance at Target. (Oh, how I love Target’s clearance shelves.)
Over the four plus years of owning it, I would pick it up to try to learn, but when it came to combining it with singing, I quickly and easily talked myself out of it.
What was the last thing you talked yourself out of doing?
