I finally got around to installing the solar panels at Waterfall. Eric met me out there to supervise the install. I got all of the panels mounted before he showed up. Then it was a matter of organizing the cables based on what we had and plugging it all in, SUCCESS! Hogan Haake
I’m wondering when the kids fascination with ladders will be over? Still cute! Still unicycling around town. I met a cyber friend from Twitter and the 100 Missouri Miles website on Grant’s Trail today. Joseph Brown stopped and asked if I was Hogan. So we chatted a bit. On the unicycle, I’m a bit easier … Continue reading “March 2017”
Solar power has become our thing. We have it on our house, and now we’re getting ready to add it to Waterfall. I used the expertise of my coworker, Eric Ent, who just put a similar system in at his parent’s house. We have a 400 watt Renogy system. Initially I wanted to put the … Continue reading “Solar Panel Prep – 3/19/2017”
Sonora was making a stress ball using two balloons, one stuffed inside of the other and filling them with flour. Danelle was helping her. I was not… I may have gotten flour on Sonora. Of course no good deed goes unpunished… Hogan Haake

The school district has the grade, middle, and high schools get together for a massive orchestra concert. The concert is the first time they all play together, and its pretty good. Kelly and Jeff showed up for the concert. And most importantly, the music. Hogan Haake

In order to make it permanent, we needed to start with a concrete pad for it to sit on. This will help keep it from settling out. We … Continue reading “Camper Delivered – 2/15/2017”
Seibert Park is located in Manchester, MO (14448 Manchester Rd, Manchester, MO 63011) just west of highway 141. It was hand dug into the hill to keep beer cool during the brewing process. I had a quick visit with the kids. Hogan Haake
After the shelter fell, we took a few days to think what our next plan was. We decided to look into a RV trailer. After lots of looking and research, we ended up buying this 5th wheel. Buying it was the easy part. But we then had to take numerous measurements to figure out how … Continue reading “Waterfall Upgrade – 1/30/2016”
Every year, Avery Elementary takes their 5th grade class on a field trip to Hidden Valley to ski. I did this two years ago with Corvin. I told Danelle she had to take Sonora cause I don’t like skiing much. Fast forward two years later and Danelle is teaching school and can’t get time off … Continue reading “Sonora Skiing – 1/25/2017”
