December 2020
We got a bit into the Christmas spirit towards the end of the month. Danelle’s bakery did some amazing work! Brawndo tried out to be a reindeer. And cats under Danelle’s desk while she tries to work. Hogan Haake

Painting OurMaster Bedroom – 12/29/2020
We’ve been in our house 15 years and decided it was time to paint the master bedroom. It still had the original tan color the whole house was when we moved in. And if you’re wondering how long that is, here is 15 years of dust… Yeah, its gross, but I didn’t realize how bad … Continue reading “Painting OurMaster Bedroom – 12/29/2020”
Christmas Star – 12/21/2020
The Christmas Star is actually when 2 planets, Jupiter and Saturn appear close together in the evening sky. It doesn’t happen very often and today was the best day to see it. We went out to Creve Coeur lake to meet a friend, Bob. Bob had binoculars and a large telescope set up for viewing. … Continue reading “Christmas Star – 12/21/2020”
Trailer Weld – 12/6/2020
I’ve had my 2020 RAV4 for less than a year and love it. I can’t say that it completely loves me back. I purchased a utility trailer to haul boats that would have gone on top of my van that no longer fit. The only problem with this plan is that one of the boats … Continue reading “Trailer Weld – 12/6/2020”
Winter Paddle – 12/4/2020
I had some vacation days to burn or I would loose them. Danelle wasn’t available, so I called JoJo. She was available and we prepared for an adventure. We decided to paddle from Route 66 state park back to Greentree park where we normally paddle from. Just upstream from Sherman Beach access, there is a … Continue reading “Winter Paddle – 12/4/2020”

More Root Docking – 11/27/2021
Today, Danelle and I get to perform root docking with a master. Jay Doty and his lovely wife Sandra came out on Black Friday to work on our property. Jay does this work professionally. At first you may think that he moves slow, but he never stops moving. I would surge and then slow down, … Continue reading “More Root Docking – 11/27/2021”
Waterfall Root Docking – 11/22/2020
Sonora and I went out to Waterfall to get out of the house. There, she worked on a fire to burn honeysuckle. With her keeping the fire going, I spent my time root docking honeysuckle. This helps our woods get clear and provides wood for the fire. Bringing it up to be burnt! We had … Continue reading “Waterfall Root Docking – 11/22/2020”
Katy Trail Ride – 11/22/2020
Sometimes the weather is perfect and you just need to get outside. Today was that day and I chose to go to the Katy Trail and ride. I started at the Weldon Springs access point and headed out west. There is a cool bridge going over the creek that was fun to stop at. Stopping … Continue reading “Katy Trail Ride – 11/22/2020”
XC Banquet – 11/10/2020
The 2020 Cross Country banquet is totally virtual this year, well almost. For the select athletes that are receiving an award, the plan is to meet at an outside shelter for a quick meeting. Then everybody would go home and finish the banquet in a virtual platform over Zoom. Corvin was set to get an … Continue reading “XC Banquet – 11/10/2020”
