Utility Update – 4/22/2026
When I work out at the property, I work in my “creepy shed“. I’ve done this for the duration of the project. Last week, my inverter started having issues and would shut off after short use. This would make it nearly impossible to work. I ordered and received a new larger inverter that I expect … Continue reading “Utility Update – 4/22/2026”
Henry’s Wedding – 4/10/2026
My youngest brother, Henry, got married. It started with us arriving in New Florence, Missouri to meet dad. He reserved several hotel rooms. The hotel was nice and even had one room as a lounge for guests to congregate. Before long, we got the call that extra help may be needed. Dad and I answered … Continue reading “Henry’s Wedding – 4/10/2026”
March 2026
It was an eventful month for sure. Starting off with the bad, I had an accident with Danelle’s new car. We found a free charger at a bar and put it on the charger. When it was time to get it off the charger so somebody else could use it, I went out to move … Continue reading “March 2026”
USA Triathlon Collegiate Club Nationals – 3/28/2026
Corvin has been on the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse triathlon club team all four years of college now.

Spring Break – 3/13/2026
Spring break started out with a small logistics problem. The hybrid battery on Corvin’s car died. The car would drive, but the dash was lit up with about every warning light it has. It was under warranty, but they would not honor the warranty unless the car was in St. Louis. Ultimately, we rented a … Continue reading “Spring Break – 3/13/2026”

Landick 2 Spray Skirt
I purchased a North Star Landick 2 solo racing canoe in August of 2024. I’ve done a few races with it and made a few improvements. One of the first things I did was add a rudder. Then in October of 2025 paddled the annual Race To The Dome. My friend, Dana, has the only … Continue reading “Landick 2 Spray Skirt”
February 2026
Cold months generally have us indoors. This may be reflected by the number of photos we took of the cats. While Sonora was home, we replaced the headlights on her car. It was a bit involved taking several things apart to get to it, but Sonora was up for the challenge. Hogan Haake
A New Car – 2/18/2026
Sometimes the cards just fall into place. In our case, Corvin’s car started having issues with the hybrid battery. We had the battery replaced once already. We started thinking that the car was getting older and maybe it was time to get him a newer car. The wheels turned and before we knew it, we … Continue reading “A New Car – 2/18/2026”
