It was a warm perfect day to go out and unicycle. I’ve been waiting to get outside and get more distance. I decided to visit the Mississippi River Trail (MRT). I started at the normal parking lot. I thought it would be fun to start with a detour to the St. Louis Arch, so I … Continue reading “Mississippi River Trail – 1/21/2017”

It worked much better with the propane torch, but … Continue reading “Steam Engine – 1/6/2017”

We made it to Kansas City to have Christmas with my parents. When we got there, my mom was in the middle of painting the hallway. She had much of it taped, but other stuff got in the way. I knew it wouldn’t get done before Christmas, so Danelle and I stepped up. We finished … Continue reading “Christmas in KC – 12/24/2017”
