We had our 2014 Chevy Tahoe for over ten years, and after moving to Idaho slightly more than a year ago, we knew that we would need to replace the Tahoe at some point. We went back/forth with what would be the best option for us: another SUV or a truck. Ultimately, we chose a … Continue reading Decked Drawer System

RECTEQ ROAD WARRIOR 340P WOOD PELLET GRILL
We had talked about getting a combo grill + smoker for about ten years. Immediately after moving to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho in September 2024, we ordered one; it was actually delivered to the house before we even arrived. Over the years, we’ve had plenty of time to research the numerous brands and types available. Most … Continue reading RECTEQ ROAD WARRIOR 340P WOOD PELLET GRILL

TeamObsidian Bike Cover

We originally bought the bike cover in June 2019 and have since upgraded our bikes as well, Stella now rides on a Trek … Continue reading TeamObsidian Bike Cover
HuwaiH Cycling Gloves for Men/Women
Prior to getting my (Stella) new Trek Dual Sport 3 (Women’s) in October 2020, I had never worn biking gloves. However, the handlebars on this bike are a little different from those of my prior bike, and I immediately noticed that my hands were getting really sweaty. After careful research, I decided upon HuwaiH Cycling … Continue reading HuwaiH Cycling Gloves for Men/Women
