Jake and Robin sold their house, and were moving to a new neighborhood in St. Louis. Like I would for any of my friends, I offered my back to help him move. So the whole family showed up at his old house to load up the moving truck! Jake bought pizza and some soda that … Continue reading “Metheny Moving – 8/14/2015”
This seems to be the best way for me to have a set of files available for my classmates, so the rest of you are just going to have to put up with this… First, we have the R script provided by the authors of the BAT package (with a few minor additions of my own). … Continue reading “Programming in Ecology: BAT”
We had a new participant for the Sunset Race this month, Kelly Kasten. She is a local SUP paddler, but we were happy to have her join us! Also along was Joe Sartori and JoJo. This month was more of a casual paddle than a race, and a good time! Hogan Haake
I occasionally leave a unicycle in the office. Today, Chad LaCroix gave it a go. While he wasn’t a natural, I wasn’t worried that he was going to fall right over and hurt himself! On the other side of the office, we have people cutting donuts in half. We made sure to get photos because … Continue reading “Unicycles and Half Donuts – 8/11/2015”
I wanted to have a family float on the river. For as much as I love paddling, I don’t do a very good job of bringing my family into it. This was a step to correct that. I prefer the Missouri river when the timing is good. However, the river was high and I worried … Continue reading “Bourbeuse River Family Float – 8/8/2015”
My neighbor Jesse asked if he could have a bail of hay that we had in the driveway under a tarp. I was quite happy to share with him. However, he came back a few minutes later letting me know that the bails were crawling with roaches! Sure enough we went over there and there … Continue reading “Roach Motel – 8/4/2015”
I love paddling the MR340 race, but it didn’t work out this year. Instead, I re-worked the race tracking site RaceOwl. In order to ensure the site worked good, I sat on the sidelines and babysat the website. I’m glad I did as there were a few hiccups that needed to be worked out. As … Continue reading “Missouri River 340 – 7/31/2015”
The last weekend in July is the annual Stream Team picnic. We have been going for several years and the kids are quite fond of it. The activities keep the kids happy. Our family tends to do well in the canoe races and gets too many trophies. If that were not enough, the raffle is … Continue reading “Stream Team Picnic – 7/25/2015”
The last day of our vacation, and we stopped in Memphis to visit the Fleck family. They graciously hosted us at their house for food and great conversation. This day was a blur. Our visit was great, but St.Louis was pulling us home. We took less photos and just focused on getting back to our … Continue reading “Florida Vacation Day 10 – 7/12/2015”
On the final morning of Florida, I awoke early and went for a long walk on the beach. There was a pier I wanted to see, but nobody else in the family wanted to walk that far. So this was my chance. I got there and noticed others there to enjoy the sunrise with me. … Continue reading “Florida Vacation Day 9 – 7/11/2015”
