5/29/2021 We passed this sign on a parkway and had to drive past a bit before finding a parking spot. Except the lot was full and we had to wait a bit to find an open spot. Then we walked back a bit through the wet grass to get to the sign for our photo. … Continue reading “State 40 – Connecticut”
5/29/2021 This is the first state on our last major trip of this project. Corvin and I are heading to the northeast to complete 8 more states. School got out on Friday and we started our mad dash across half of the United States to get here. We were happy to find this rest area … Continue reading “State 39 – New Jersey”
Cats just love boxes. Coatrack doesn’t even wait till they are empty… Maggie came over and dyed her hair with Sonora. Danelle and I walked to the eastern terminus of the Katy Trail I’m still unicycling and finding signs made just for me 🙂 Danelle put out food for the squirrels to eat, but also … Continue reading “January – 2021”
We decided to see how the cats like the snow today. Brawndo hasn’t see it before, but being a Maine Coon, it shouldn’t be an issue. He seemed pretty chill with it. Coatrack likes being outside in anything but rain. The paw prints might be the best part about the whole thing. We didn’t let … Continue reading “Snow Cats – 1/27/2021”
We finally got Corvin out to our Alton property to see it for the first time. After walking around, he found some entertainment. That was in the form of climbing a tree! I don’t think I was ever this good at climbing! Hogan

While visiting my friends JoJo and Jason on their campground property, they invited me to play on their new Kubota tractor. It didn’t take me long to say YES! They … Continue reading “Digging With Power – 1/17/2021”
Its snowing and I want out of the house. I convinced Danelle to come with me snow driving. Its a bit easier to convince her now that we have an AWD vehicle. Yes, I know AWD won’t help you stop any faster, but it does help get you from getting stuck 🙂 Plus it wasn’t … Continue reading “Snow Driving – 1/15/2021”
I took a 1/2 day off of work and went with Danelle to her office at NGREC. I started by working at a desk near hers. Eventually, I worked my way into the fancy conference room overlooking the Mississippi river. Since its full on winter, there was little barge traffic. In fact, just 1 barge … Continue reading “Mississippi River at NGREC – 1/11/2021”
This has been going on for about a month. Danelle and I were taking a walk and noticed that there was an oily film on the water in the creek. On our first walk, we followed upstream for a rather long walk and found the source of the pollution. It was reported to MSD and … Continue reading “Deer Creek Pollution – 1/5/2021”
With COVID-19 pandemic, I decided not to get a hair cut to do my part trying to keep myself from getting sick. The last haircut I had was about 11 months earlier and it showed. So Danelle and Sonora styled my hair before bleaching it. Then they went on to bleach and color their own … Continue reading “Crazy Hair – 1/2/2021”
