The garden is in full swing with part of the crop getting planted last month and the crop of garlic getting ready to be harvested. Danelle is working hard as ever to produce a viable garden.

I have to say that being married to Danelle is one of the best things that ever happened to me. Her companionship and knowledge has enriched my life. Because of this, I’m extremely excited to be part of Brian and Kelly’s first anniversary.

There is always the pull to enjoy the comforts of home, while still seeing your loved ones. The weather was great and we enjoyed two Easter Egg hunts. One … Continue reading “Easter 4.8.12”
Many paddlers have more than one boat. Each one does something different and typically excels at one facet of paddling. In my case, I just purchased my third boat, a Hobie Adventure peddle powered kayak. Seeing as I already had two boats hanging from the ceiling, I figured it was time to do something different … Continue reading “Boat Rack 4.1.12”

My garage is just one giant toy box. In 2009, I [with help from my wife and friends] used it to build a large 20 foot canoe for racing down the Missouri river. Since that race, the boat has hung from the ceiling of my garage in shame not seeing an ounce of water. I … Continue reading “Storing Boats”
