Yesterday we were at the annual Stream Team Picnic. Hannah won a few prizes during the raffle and one of the prizes she got was 4 tickets to Onondaga cave. We didn’t have time to visit the cave on Saturday, but we realized that if we didn’t use them on Sunday, they would probably expire … Continue reading “Onondaga Cave With Hannah – 7/28/2019”
My sister Hannah was in town for the weekend. We took her to the annual Stream Team picnic held on the last Saturday in July. Danelle is involved, so we had work to do, but Hannah didn’t mind. During the drive down, I wanted to impress my baby sister by showing her how cool I … Continue reading “Stream Team Picnic – 7/27/2019”
I’m a big fan of Big Muddy Adventures and its proprietor, Mike Clark. Mike is an amazing asset to the St. Louis paddling community. He has been introducing people to our rivers for years and doing a great job at it. He has been successful enough, that they expanded their operations. He now has a … Continue reading “Big Muddy Open House – 7/17/2019”
My in-laws celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Danelle and Brian organized a party at Cyrano’s to celebrate. Many years before, Henry and Carol had one of their first dates at Cyrano’s, making the venue especially appropriate. We were very excited to have a great turnout. All of Henry and Carol’s siblings, children, and grandchildren were … Continue reading “Henry and Carol’s 50th Anniversary – 7/14/2019”

Actually, I won’t show you all of that either, I want to focus on one specific thing. The designer added a large clock to one of the walls. Its hard to see … Continue reading “Office Prank”

One of my co-workers noticed the book and thought it was funny. His wife got a mirror as a gift for … Continue reading “June – 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”
The last day of our vacation. We woke up early in KC and spent some time before heading home to St. Louis. But not before having fun at the house. Of interest to me, we passed 222,222 miles on the odometer during this trip. And when we pulled into the driveway, we ended with 4,758.6 … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/14/2019”
We woke up from a night of camping and enjoyed the sounds of the campground. We didn’t expect ducks, but they were fun to watch. They had lots of stuff laying around that we saw on a morning walk. With the campsite packed up, we headed on to the Great Sand Dunes National Park. We … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/12/2019”
We got up later this morning that we have most of the trip. In fact we were late enough that we were nearly late to our whitewater trip. The river was up and running fast. This meant that we got to go a little farther than normal. 14 miles of great whitewater paddling! I would … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/11/2019”
