As part of our 48 Wheels unicycle trip, we ended up in the fine town of New Orleans. This city is very old and quite interesting. It started off with us trying to find a parking place. I didn’t realize during my planning that this was the weekend before Mardi Gras. There were already large … Continue reading “New Orleans – 2/16/2020”
Fort Jackson is in Louisiana. I’ve seen it on maps when dreaming about the Mississippi river and random paddling journeys I want to take. I’ve talked of a motorcycle trip there over a long weekend just because it looks interesting. The opportunity to visit came when Corvin and I were visiting Louisiana on our 27th … Continue reading “Fort Jackson – 2/16/2020”
We had some family over and somehow it became a thing that we wore a cloth bag over our heads… Little did we know, we would need face masks just a few months later… OK, just kidding, we were playing a game. They brought over a bag of Skittles. The test was to see if … Continue reading “January – 2020”
We got a new cat and we named him Brawndo. If you’re wondering about the name, it came from my favorite movie, Idiocracy. Brawndo is a pure bred Maine Coon. We were picking him up from a breeder just west of Kansas City. We drove through an ice storm the night before to ensure that … Continue reading “Brawndo – 1/17/2020”
3/15/2020 Our second riding day of this trip and we’re now in Delaware. Its a small state, so we were not surprised by a small state sign. Or maybe we were not on a major highway and this was the best that we had. Either way, it was still a bit cold in the morning. … Continue reading “State 31 – Delaware”
I had a work trip that took me to New York City. Technically the trip was in Hoboken, NJ. Our hotel and customer were both along the Hudson River. This provides a clear site to Manhattan Island, or what everybody else knows as NYC. I won’t talk about the work trip as its work stuff. … Continue reading “New York City – 1/12/2020”
Sonora tried out for and was accepted for the 8th grade All Suburban Orchestra in St. Louis. This consisted of multiple practice sessions at a local school and many hours of at home practice to master the music. Today was the day they presented their music to the public. We were lucky enough to have … Continue reading “All Suburban Orchestra – 1/11/2020”
To help celebrate Brad’s birthday at the office, we decided to decorate his desk. Eric and I went over to Michael’s Arts and Crafts to pick up some wrapping paper and string. Brad typically rolls into the office after 8:30 am. Therefore we would do it day of in the morning. Of course as we’re … Continue reading “Brad’s Birthday Surprise – 1/8/2020”
3/14/2020 Our thirty state and third in a single day. We were pushing our stamina and daylight, but we wanted to get this ride done. When we left, there were concerns about the Corona virus, but we left for the trip anyway. Getting done faster and getting back home seemed like a good idea. There … Continue reading “State 30 – Maryland”
That a great month. I finally ended my no-shave November. I started with a goatee. It didn’t take long before that was too much and I went to just a creepy mustache. It did keep me warm on some winter walks! Poor Coat Rack never gets any peace, but Sonora is happy! A great month! … Continue reading “December 2019”
