It should come as no surprise by now that I like paddling. I also like just about any weather for paddling. For the December Sunset Race, I was the only participant. That wasn’t going to stop me from a wonderful night time paddle. I don’t often make it up to the 141 bridge anymore as … Continue reading “Sunset Race – 12/9/2022”
Since I’m planning to use my Epic V7 in the MR340 this year, I figured it was time to make sure it was up to the task. I’ll be making more updates and documenting them here. Today’s job was to put a more robust hatch cover on to help keep water out. I went to … Continue reading “Emergency Repair On My Epic V7 – 2/4/2023”
It wouldn’t be a monthly recap without at least one cat photo. Sushi being held by Coty. We’re still not sure if Drew is trying to listen to anything else or just happened to have headphones on. We made it out to a local bar for a Stl. Blues game. And if you need to … Continue reading “November – 2022”
We left early on Wednesday 11/23 headed up north. Danelle and I decided that we would rent an Airbnb for a few nights. It probably would have been cheaper to fly Corvin home for a few days, but then the kids would all want to go hang out with their friends. This would make them … Continue reading “Thanksgiving In Wisconsin – 11/23/2022”
Jo Jo hosted her second Friendsgiving at her funky warehouse/studio. Several of her close friends were invited. Its an amazing collection of food from all of the friends.

He asked if I might have a part he can borrow. Rather then try to grab a part, I suggested he come over and just borrow … Continue reading “Joe Borrows A Unicycle – 11/19/2022”
We picked up tickets for the St. Louis Symphony’s youth orchestra. Sonora loves to go and its a great excuse to get out. Laura met us at The Fountain on Locust for lunch. The food menu is just meh, but that isn’t what they are known for. They have a HUGE collection of ice cream … Continue reading “Youth Orchestra – 11/13/2022”
Coty finished softball season and went straight into practice for the school musical, Grease. She landed the role of an extra, but it was a lot of work. She played several different roles and had to do several dance numbers! See her below with a mustache dancing with the guys. Being an extra doesn’t mean … Continue reading “Grease – 11/12/2023”
Another amazing Sunset Race is in the books.We had warm weather that made it easy to paddle. You’re looking at a very bright moon and Blake paddling. Looking at the back of the boat, I’m trying to keep us straight. What a perfect way to spend the evening. Come visit us on the second Thursday … Continue reading “Sunset Race – 11/11/2023”
The Friendship Dance is like homecoming, but combined Webster Groves and Kirkwood high schools together. Coty and Sonora were both going to the dance. The plan was all of us to go to Danelle’s Parents house in Kirkwood. Drew would pick up the girls and they would go to dinner and the dance from there. … Continue reading “Friendship Dance – 11/5/2022”
