Some days, you just wanted to get out of the house. This Saturday, we were bored and I had the idea of taking the family shopping to break up the day. We ended up at Garden Ridge. I figured we would just walk around and leave after 30 minutes. Instead we spent about 90 minutes … Continue reading “Garden Ridge – 12/8/2012”
My wife’s parents have had a family farm for many years. They call it a farm, but its really just land out in the country. They don’t grow any crops… They don’t get out to their property much anymore. The two hour drive is the major obstacle. We know that Danelle’s dad, Henry, really loves … Continue reading “Farm Time – 12/2/2012”

Many people look at TV shows like The Jetsons in awe at what the future will be like. Go to a large airport and you’ll see a people mover. Every day, the automated future gets closer.

After discovering all of the new wonders of downtown, I wanted to share them with my family. So, I loaded up the wife and kids and proceeded to drive like I was going to work.

The building is located right in … Continue reading “Abandoned Freight Depot – 11/20/2012”
The Ozark Trail 100 is a 102 mile run from point A to point B. I became interested in this after reading about a friend from high school getting into ultra-marathon running. I believe ultra marathons start at the 50 km mark and go up from there. Since I have done some ultra type events … Continue reading “Ozark Trail 100 – 11/3/2012”
Working downtown, I can see the new I-70 bridge in St. Louis from my office. I decided it wasn’t too far from the office and walked to it over lunch. I’ll admit it was a brisk walk to get there and back in an hour, but it works! If you need a scale of how … Continue reading “New I-70 Bridge – 11/2/2012”
What a busy month. Its the end of the summer and things are winding down. What crops are left after our warm summer are getting harvested. Near my work, there’s a field of corn that looks like its hobby sized for a farmer. And there on the property was a two row combine. After our … Continue reading “October – 2012”
Riding my motorcycle is something that brings me great joy. I enjoy the open air, even if it is only to and from work a couple times a month. It was cold outside when I started out and I had “smoke” coming out of the tailpipes. The day was perfect and I had nothing to … Continue reading “Motorcycle Breakdown – 10/29/2012”
