This is the personal blog of Walt White. I am a Drafter/Designer living in Berks County, PA. I have a fondness for Cigars, Photography, and Firearms. Take a look around and you may find something interesting regardless of how different your hobbies may be from my own.
In my home, my wife does all of the household shopping. I try not to get involved, because whenever I do, I tend to throw off her system. If I just happen to throw of her system, I’m to blame for any purchases that aren’t made, and should be, until she gets all caught back [...]
Twice per year, every year, I run into about a weeks worth of sleep problems. You may have guessed it, my problem revolves around our Fall-back and Spring-forward time changes that take effect. Most people don’t mind the time change in the fall because it is viewed as gaining an hour of sleep. While telling [...]
Growing up in the 80′s, I like to think that I grew up in the golden age of video games. Sure, the systems now can do some amazing stuff, but I have some very fond memories of the old 8 bit Nintendo Entertainment System games that I was introduced to as a child. As the [...]
Not long ago I was at work and found myself with a little time to kill. I was between projects and didn’t have anything to get started on before getting the answer that was holding me up. While I waited for that answer, I thought I would poke around on the web. I wound up [...]
It has been a good long time since I’ve done any real ranting. I don’t air dirty laundry on the internet, but I’m finding myself highly annoyed as of late from a few things I have been seeing. These things aren’t anything major, but they do tend to tug at my nerves. I won’t be [...]
Just the other week, my wife and I were talking about things we saw for sale in the Sunday paper. I mentioned kind of liking the idea of having a Slingbox and my wife was eying up a bedding sale at Boscov’s. Like usual, my interest was passing and I didn’t give the Slingbox a [...]
My wife and I do not have any children at this point in our lives. We do, however, have a dog. Both of our families have had dogs in our homes growing up and it felt natural to get one of our own when we moved in together. We got Syrus when he was approximately [...]
Every fall my yard becomes a complete mess. It in part has to do with me retreating inside due to the attack of the walnut tree. Because I spend less time outside, I spend less time fretting over how bad my yard looks. In addition to the walnuts that litter my yard from two Walnut [...]
One of the funnest things my wife and I do together is poke fun at one another. Sometimes what is said between us is childish and other times it stings a bit. Regardless of what is said, it is generally followed by a laugh. One of the things my wife likes to tease me about [...]
One of the most appealing things to me when looking at buying our home, was the ability to sit outside on a nice day and enjoy the weather. On many days throughout the spring and summer, this is easy enough to do. I generally grab a cigar and beverage before making my way out into [...]
If you have been checking in on Walt In PA over the past couple of months, you probably noticed that I have been posting a lot of book related articles. While it isn’t something I did intentionally, it does seem to have become the default subject matter. Back in June I picked up Wizards First [...]
photo credit: gui.tavares Have you ever woken up before the alarm clock went off and began preparing for work? I’ve gotten myself into a rhythm and wake up around the same time every day. On occasion I wake up a few minutes before the alarm goes off, so I take advantage of the extra few [...]
A few days ago, my wife called me at work and said that her car was making a loud noise. She went on to tell me that she left the house for work, started her car, and allowed it time to warm up. Before pulling out and heading off to work, she flipped on the [...]
Yesterday I had a little free time to myself and thought that time would best be used to work on a quick video post for the site. With me being back to work, its been rough falling back into the routine I developed for myself some time ago. Not having anything in mind to discuss, [...]
A couple of weeks ago my wife got a call from her sister about an upcoming baseball game. It seems that my sister in-law purchased a ticket book and had a few left that she wanted to use up. She offered to take us out to a game on an upcoming Friday and we were [...]
