April – 2020
Our first full month of COVID-19. We mostly stayed at home trying to stay safe and not catch it. I brought home the plants from the office that I care for. The cats were quite interested in them. It didn’t take long before I started being silly with my Zoom meetings. I took several long … Continue reading “April – 2020”
Corvin Rides the Giraffe
Corvin rode the giraffe unicycle from our house to a friends house over 1/2 mile away. I’m super impressed as I can’t even mount it (even if he needs help). You know that riding this is serious when he bothers to put on knee and elbow pads! See him in action! Hogan Haake

2020 MR340 PRE RACE This year is an exceptionally strange year. COVID-19 has caused lots of social and safety issues. I was thinking about paddling in the MR340 with Jo Jo.

State 34 – South Carolina
3/17/2020 This ride started off boring and uninteresting. We were riding the Swamp Rabbit Trail in Greenville, South Carolina.

After a few … Continue reading “State 34 – South Carolina”

Motorcycle Therapy – 3/29/2020
Due to the COVID-19 virus and everybody sheltering in place, I was going a bit crazy. I needed something different. I figured motorcycle therapy was the right choice. I would be alone unless I was getting gas and could see something new. The ride was a long one, picking random highways trying to get away … Continue reading “Motorcycle Therapy – 3/29/2020”
