Blog number 1, you have to walk before you can run!

So here is sit on a snowy Friday afternoon thinking about what the heck can I possibly be doing starting a blog?   My wife Jackie has encouraged me for months to do something with the loads of useless knowledge stuffed up in the space above my neck that people always seem to say I don't use to my full capacity. Be that as it may, I figured that one of the ways I can have some fun (and maybe educate people at the same time) is to start this blog. 
 I'm intending this to help people who are looking at gear/gadgets or just advice in general that I feel might be relevant for people looking to buy new gear, or fit advice or anything else that pops into my head and I decide to put it here. I might blog once a week, once a day, or once an hour. That's the greatest thing is it gives me the freedom to post however often i'd like. Please don't expect Shakesperian prose, or perfect grammar, or punctuation (I should be able to get the spelling right, however)
 There will be times I get something wrong, or might get someone's nose out of joint and that"s OK. If it creates a healthy debate and educates in the process then I feel it's mission accomplished. I wont always get it right, but  I am quite confident that I wont get it wrong very often, either.
 So what can you expect to read on here? Reviews on sports gear, maybe electronics, cars, TV shows, sporting events or personalities. I haven't really tried to limit myself to any one type of product or thing. I'm not paid by anyone, not getting product under the table or kickbacks or anything like that. I'm just a normal guy, husband, sports enthusiast who likes his toys (much to my wife's chagrin sometimes) and sometimes I feel like I need to call attention to something. 
 You can also expect to find tips and tricks on how things should fit, feel, and perform if you have set them up properly, and also how to tell when they aren't. So your ski boots pinch your calfs? Blisters from your hockey skates? What type of snowshoe should I buy? I'll tackle something each blog and try to help shed some light on it Heck, you could find me ranting about how someone cut me off in traffic this morning.
 So all I ask is to bare with me as I get my feet under me and take on various topics. I'll try to help educate as best I can. Thanks.
