Cats just love boxes. Coatrack doesn’t even wait till they are empty… Maggie came over and dyed her hair with Sonora. Danelle and I walked to the eastern terminus of the Katy Trail I’m still unicycling and finding signs made just for me 🙂 Danelle put out food for the squirrels to eat, but also … Continue reading “January – 2021”
We decided to see how the cats like the snow today. Brawndo hasn’t see it before, but being a Maine Coon, it shouldn’t be an issue. He seemed pretty chill with it. Coatrack likes being outside in anything but rain. The paw prints might be the best part about the whole thing. We didn’t let … Continue reading “Snow Cats – 1/27/2021”
We finally got Corvin out to our Alton property to see it for the first time. After walking around, he found some entertainment. That was in the form of climbing a tree! I don’t think I was ever this good at climbing! Hogan
It seems like all cool things in my life eventually happen if I wait long enough. In this case, today I fulfilled a boyhood fantasy. While visiting my friends JoJo and Jason on their campground property, they invited me to play on their new Kubota tractor. It didn’t take me long to say YES! They … Continue reading “Digging With Power – 1/17/2021”
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
We’ve been in our house 15 years and decided it was time to paint the master bedroom. It still had the original tan color the whole house was when we moved in. 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”
