Snowmageddon: The Epic Saga of Casa de Tronster
Ah, winter. That magical time of year when Mother Nature decides to play a game of “How Much Snow Can I Dump on Your Driveway?” And this year, she really outdid herself. The weather “experts” predicted 6-16 inches of snow. Six to sixteen inches! That’s like asking someone to guess your weight and giving them […]
Snowed In: A Comedic Chronicles of a Non-HOA Resident
Well, it’s Monday, and Mother Nature decided to throw a full-day party of snow, ice, and sleet right in our neighborhood. I’m feeling every year of my existence as I’ve managed to keep two-thirds of the driveway clear. We’ve dodged the power outage bullet so far, but the DMV (District of Misery and Vexation) has […]
Preparing for the Great DMV Snowpocalypse (All 6–10 Inches of It)
Living in the DMV (that’s DC, Maryland, and Virginia for the uninitiated), we occasionally get snow. Not the soul‑crushing, car‑swallowing lake‑effect snow they brag about in Buffalo—just our modest, respectable share.

Sunshine, Scallops, and Surprise Road-Trip Reunions
Welcome to Throwback Thursday! The year was 2021, and at the end of January, Sunshine and I hit the road for Florida—because nothing cures winter blues like citrus, sunshine, and pretending we’re not pale. Judging by this year’s forecast, I probably should’ve planned this trip for now, but hey—hindsight is 20/21, right? So here’s a blast from […]
Finding My Rhythm Again:

2025 Out/2026 In
2026 Here we come!! Well, it’s now 2026, and last year was quite the adventure. Sunshine and I went through many experiences and made several important decisions. To be honest, it was a pretty good year, especially when compared to 2024. Last year, Tronster.net was neglected, and for that, I’m truly sorry. This year, Tronster […]
Getting Ready
