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”

We decided to paddle from Route 66 state park back to Greentree park where we normally paddle from. Just upstream from Sherman Beach access, there is a … Continue reading “Winter Paddle – 12/4/2020”

This helps our woods get clear and provides wood for the fire. Bringing it up to be burnt! We had … Continue reading “Waterfall Root Docking – 11/22/2020”
Sometimes the weather is perfect and you just need to get outside. Today was that day and I chose to go to the Katy Trail and ride. I started at the Weldon Springs access point and headed out west. There is a cool bridge going over the creek that was fun to stop at. Stopping … Continue reading “Katy Trail Ride – 11/22/2020”
The 2020 Cross Country banquet is totally virtual this year, well almost. For the select athletes that are receiving an award, the plan is to meet at an outside shelter for a quick meeting. Then everybody would go home and finish the banquet in a virtual platform over Zoom. Corvin was set to get an … Continue reading “XC Banquet – 11/10/2020”
We got in line early to vote. Holy cow the line was long. Between social distancing and people wanting their vote counted, the morning turnout was large! Image is on the “wrong” side of the building as it wrapped a long ways around. We ended up in line about 2 hours. Found out later that … Continue reading “Voting – 11/3/2020”
All I can say is CATS! Brawndo is HUGE, blocking the whole laptop keyboard and still growing. And yes, I should clean my desk! Good thing I don’t need to write too much! Our two biggest don’t like to be photographed. Out with Sonora! Hogan Haake
