I’ve been training hoping to ride my longest unicycle ride. The following weekend, there is a 34 mile bicycle race that I’ve signed up for. This was my last test to see if I was ready for the ride. I decided it would be fun to ride from Grafton, IL to Alton, IL along the … Continue reading “Grafton To Alton – 7/3/2022”
Corvin is pretty chill about everything. Danelle continued to ask him if he was going to have a graduation party with his friends. Finally she told him he couldn’t go out with friends till he picked a date, and today was that date. There wasn’t much warning, but lots of friends showed up. First, some … Continue reading “Corvin’s Graduation Party – 7/1/2022”
We had family dinner together with strange photos. We followed up the month with random selfies! Maybe next month we’ll do more! Hogan Haake
Today is the last paddle training before Danelle and Sonora’s MR340 race. They got a nice easy run from Weldon Springs back to Blanchette. This is about 20 miles. The wind played tricks on them making them earn each of the miles that they paddled. Still a great day to be on the water! Now … Continue reading “Paddle Training – 6/26/2022”
Corvin is attending the University of Wisconsin, LaCrosse this fall. He’ll be a freshman in college. We’re nervous about this change as we’ve never had a child go off to college.

Having other people on the water is great for safety. After meeting at Blanchette Landing, the take out, we … Continue reading “Paddle and Unicycle Training – 6/19/2022”
We went over to Grandpa Henry and Grandma Carol’s house to hang out for the afternoon. Its wonderful to visit them and see how they are doing. I even managed to sneak a photo of them.

It looks like car selfies were a thing this month. First up is in Danelle’s car taking the girls home from track practice. Next with Corvin and Sonora in the Virus. A month isn’t complete without some cats. Corvin hanging out with Sushi in the morning. She is always pointed with her head towards freedom … Continue reading “May – 2022”
I’ve been wanting to better my unicycle distance for a while. I have a Coker 36″ Big One unicycle. While its nice, it isn’t quite right for me. I decided that life is short and I would try an upgrade to the Nimbus Nightfox. Once ordered using money from my birthday, I figured I could … Continue reading “Nimbus Nightfox – 6/15/2022”
Danelle and Sonora wanted to get more paddle training for this year’s MR340 race. I drove them out to the Klondike ramp and dropped them off. First prepping the boat from the land. Once they were all packed up, they shoved off into the Big Muddy. Once they were off, I went back to the … Continue reading “Paddle Training – 6/12/2022”
