Guacamala Life: Getting crafty at home

Brandon, as many of you know, loves disc golf. It is one of the major things that he misses. He has gone to a park to throw and has also set up bamboo stakes in the yard for targets. Now he is working on creating a practice basket out of bamboo. He has put many hours (he thinks 20) into it and is now on his 3^rd prototype…he is still not completely sure what the finished product will be. Here are a few photos of prototype #1.

We also decided that we would try home haircuts for Brandon. I gave one friend a really bad haircut in college so I was a little apprehensive. Prior to taking the clippers to his head I watched a few youtube videos…seemed fairly simple. Both Brandon and I are pleased with the first cut and know that with practice I will improve.

I did fix the left side...can you see poorly faded patch?

The dog food situation here is not ideal. Our dogs have always eaten high quality (expensive) dog food. We have not found a dry dog food that is of high quality here and so we have been feeding them a pretty cheap dry food and supplementing it with our produce scraps.

Jackson seemed to be doing alright with this but Kirby smelled….really bad. Both of the dogs are old and have bad breath but the smell that Kirby was putting off was something else! We decided to try making some dog food to see if that would help the smell. They have been eating our DIY dog food for 1 week and we both feel that Kirby smells much better. Mondays are now dog food preparation days around here.
