I got a top box installed on my 2017 V-Strom 650 at Flying Tiger Motorcycles. I wasn’t sure how it was going to look as it seemed quite large when it was sitting on the ground next to the bike. Much to my delight, the top box appears to be a great size. To celebrate, … Continue reading “Riding with Sonora – 8/17/2019”
Sonora has been having bad luck with cell phones recently. The newest one she has was dropped and the screen cracked quite badly. Her phone was a low end phone and paying a company to replace the screen was almost the cost of purchasing a new phone. Lucky for us, we heard about one of … Continue reading “Cell Phone Repair – 8/13/2019”

Danelle is on the Webster Groves Sustainability Commission. They had a shared parade float and were walking with a small float. Danelle asked if the family could come along and they said yes. I’m not one to pass up a parade and an excuse to ride a unicycle in it. Corvin and I both got … Continue reading “Webster Groves 4th of July Parade – 7/4/2019”
I saw an event online that I just didn’t want to pass up. It was an organized Donut Ride. The plan was pretty simple. Bicycle approximately 14 miles and visit 5 different donut shops. We had plans for later in the day, so we were going to visit the first 3 donut shops, then turn … Continue reading “Donut Ride – 6/29/2019”
My sister Holly is moving to Kansas City after being in Wichita for about 10 years. This is super exiting for me as i don’t often see her as its a very long drive from St. Louis. Now she will be closer and we can see her and her family. This moving journey starts out … Continue reading “Holly Moving – 6/21/2019”
