Decks, Daughters, and Dumb Decisions

We break away from our usual educational episodes to talk about what's actually going on in our lives. Steve's daughter is graduating, Brad's rebuilding a trailer, and the roasting begins immediately starting with Steve's 40 yards of concrete project that never happened.Our conversation bounces from home improvement disasters to paint color debates (chartreuse with zebra stripes, anyone?) to what summer looks like when we're not recording podcast episodes. Brad's golfing in 31-degree weather. Steve refuses to shingle his own roof despite knowing how. We argue about whether Cookie Monster blue or lime green with pink LEDs makes more sense for a trailer.We wrap the episode with what's next for the show. We're thinking about an in-person event late 2026 or 2027, somewhere between Detroit and Milwaukee. We want to know what would get you to show up.
