Hello, I’m Laurie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My father Dale was the son of a lumberjack and could build and fix anything. He taught me a love of DIY and we shared a special bond together, spending countless hours together working on projects — practical things like framing walls and wiring, and also fun things like giant wooden spinning wheels and custom-wired video game controllers and whatever other ideas his strange geek child dreamed up to tackle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He taught me every skill he could, but sadly, our time together was cut short. He passed away in 2021 and I miss him every day. He was a gentle warrior, the engineer version of Winnie-the-Pooh, and the model of what a parent should be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Out of everything, the most important lesson he gave me was to never stop learning new skills, and every time I finish a new project, I know I am honoring what he taught and I feel like the daughter of a true Klingon warrior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
