Garmin Zumo 396 Install – 9/4/2021
I purchased a Garmin Zumo 396 for my 2017 V-Strom 650 motorcycle. This motorcycle specific GPS will help me navigate and get to more interesting places. I’ll need to spend more time to better use it. But first I need to get it installed. I decided to put it on my navigation bar that is … Continue reading “Garmin Zumo 396 Install – 9/4/2021”
August 2021
August has come and gone. Some of our random stuff. Corvin Sonora Kids being silly! I met another unicyclist on Grant’s Trail! I walked from my house downtown to the arch. Was a 14 some mile day 🙂 We met Laura downtown for dinner. And sorry to disappoint, but no cat photos!
Disc Golf at Piasa Harbor – 8/20/2021
A couple weeks ago on a random motorcycle ride, I was riding a new area just taking in all the sites when I came across a disc golf course I didn’t realize was there. Fast forward to today and I decided it would be fun to play a round there. Danelle and her co-worker Hannah … Continue reading “Disc Golf at Piasa Harbor – 8/20/2021”

153rd Sunset Race 8/12/2021
This month we were super excited to go paddling. Only there was a strong storm forecast to come in right as we start. Just the same, I packed up the boats. Down at the river, I unloaded the boats just in case the storm passed. The canoe in the back is about 120 lbs, so … Continue reading “153rd Sunset Race 8/12/2021”
Danelle’s Graduation – 8/7/2021
COVID sure makes it hard to celebrate. Last May, Danelle earned her Ph.D in Biology, but we were in the midst of a pandemic. The kids and I sat in the arena waiting for the ceremony to begin. It was rather empty! All masked up and by ourselves. When the ceremony started, we were pleasantly … Continue reading “Danelle’s Graduation – 8/7/2021”

Sonora likes to spend time in Kansas City in the summer. Its great to catch up with family and a change of scenery. Here she is in Hannah’s apartment. Hannah not wanting to accept its a new day 🙂 I didn’t end up getting in the Webster/Kirkwood parade this year, but that didn’t stop me … Continue reading “July – 2021”
