Its snowing and I want out of the house. I convinced Danelle to come with me snow driving. Its a bit easier to convince her now that we have an AWD vehicle. Yes, I know AWD won’t help you stop any faster, but it does help get you from getting stuck 🙂 Plus it wasn’t … Continue reading “Snow Driving – 1/15/2021”
I took a 1/2 day off of work and went with Danelle to her office at NGREC. I started by working at a desk near hers. Eventually, I worked my way into the fancy conference room overlooking the Mississippi river. Since its full on winter, there was little barge traffic. In fact, just 1 barge … Continue reading “Mississippi River at NGREC – 1/11/2021”
This has been going on for about a month. Danelle and I were taking a walk and noticed that there was an oily film on the water in the creek. On our first walk, we followed upstream for a rather long walk and found the source of the pollution. It was reported to MSD and … Continue reading “Deer Creek Pollution – 1/5/2021”
With COVID-19 pandemic, I decided not to get a hair cut to do my part trying to keep myself from getting sick. The last haircut I had was about 11 months earlier and it showed. So Danelle and Sonora styled my hair before bleaching it. Then they went on to bleach and color their own … Continue reading “Crazy Hair – 1/2/2021”
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

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”
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”
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”
Random photos from the month. Corvin holding onto Brawndo Holding Brawndo on the porch. Showing off how large Brawndo is. I swear we have 3 cats, but another of Brawndo. My pre-voting view. Had to wear my President Camacho shirt. Took a drive with Danelle and ended up at Indian Trail State Forrest. A unicycle … Continue reading “November – 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”
