    Between the start of Daylight Savings Time here in the US, a weekend spent cutting down trees, and the weather, it has been a challenge this last week being productive, but somehow we managed. Hear all about it before we have a lovely chat with Gary “Fleenguy” Tyrrell about how he stays productive!

    Note: Between the recording of this episode and the release, I have decided to no longer support Noodler’s Inks, and will not be linking to them from this point forward.
