Its family weekend at Missouri State and Sonora wanted us to come down and visit. We started by driving down on Saturday morning early and going for a hike at the Springfield Nature Center. And we all wore matching (ish) Missouri State University shirts. We were silly together. Telling stories and acting goofy, and it … Continue reading “Family Weekend At Missouri State – 9/28/2024”
They are making more progress on framing. The weather is lovely and the trusses are being assembled. Did I mention how unbelievably huge they are? The footprint of the house is approximately 60×60 feet. This means the trusses are nearly 60 feet long. Laying out on the ground. And a partly assembled one. There are … Continue reading “Framing Update – 12/19/2024”
The trusses went up on the roof and its starting to look like more of a house. Lets hope this progress continues! Hogan Haake
Danelle and I volunteered to be a safety boat for the Mississippi River Rendezvous. This is a new event put on by the Mississippi River Water Trail(MRWT). The general idea was to get a large group of paddlers of different skills out on the water together. There were a few different distances of paddling. Danelle … Continue reading “Mississippi River Rendezvous – 9/21/2024”
When you’ve been married for a long time, your partner can tell when you need something. Today, Danelle could just tell that I needed to get out. She sent me out for my normal Tuesday night 5K paddle early. Tonight I started early with a unicycle lap around the lake first. I set a personal … Continue reading “Landick and Unicycle – 9/3/2024”
This month, I guess I went a little crazy. Normal for me, is a unicycle ride on a local trail. And then, I’m at work with my new kitty unicorn headphones jamming out. Then Danelle caught me test driving a new car. Needless to say, she wouldn’t let me get it 🙁 Then one weekend … Continue reading “August 2024”
Sonora has been gone to college for two weeks, but came home for a 3 day weekend to be with us. We missed her and were happy to have her back in the house if even just for a short weekend. She wanted to visit some of her friends while she was home. Eva came … Continue reading “Sonora Home Again – 8/31/2024”
Danelle went to a Mississippi River Water Trail Association meeting on the educational barge belonging to Living Lands and Waters. These two groups are true powerhouses in education and stewardship of the Mississippi River! The barge was parked just downstream of the Mel Price Lock and Dam in Alton. One highlight of the event was … Continue reading “Living Lands And Waters Barge – 8/29/2024”
It’s super early in the morning and I’m sleeping on and off. I took a few random walks with Corvin and Danelle getting steps in. I slept in my chair. Then things got weirder. First, the Lima airport has no water fountains. If you want water, get out your wallet. Second, they started setting up … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 20 – 1/11/2025”
Our final day in Argentina! We got slow start since the kids stayed up late last night. Danelle and I took an early morning walk. (There might be a pattern developing here!) We went to Vinnie’s to get super cheap breakfast plus coffee. The first Vinnie’s didn’t have their coffee machine working so we found … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 19 – 1/10/2025”
