Hello!

The Mission:

We are just a couple of dudes that enjoy working with our hands. Between the five of us, our collective interests/hobbies span a pretty broad piece of the spectrum. The purpose of this blog is to document various projects that we undertake. Expect to see content that covers a wide range of topics from home improvement to race car construction to child rearing...probably a lot of cooking as well. Enjoy!

Definition of Terms:

These are some terms/acronyms that you will see throughout our blog. Most of them require a definition for first-timers.

BTC - This stands for "Big Time Carry." A "carry" is either an action or an event which is adverse in nature, therefore, typically resulting in a negative outcome.

FITG - This stands for "F*$#ed In The Game." We don't think this requires much explanation.

DM - This stands for "Dick Missile." Dick Missile was a phrase that we coined years ago as an adjective to describe anything that is exceptionally awesome.

Real T - This is short for "Real Talk." It is a phrase commonly used to emphasize the validity of something.

NBD - This stands for "No Big Deal." This, too, should require no further explanation.

LLS - We recently received word from a friend of ours, who teaches high school in Baltimore City, that kids aren't saying "LOL" anymore. Instead, they are saying "LLS" which stands for "Laughing Like S%!T." We love it.

Let Me Get That Neck - This is a phrase used to call someone out on something stupid they've done. In person, it is usually followed by a swift reach and pull on the back of the person's neck.
