How do you know when something is important to you? When you do whatever it takes to participate. For this Sunset Race, I started out in Port Lavaca, Texas. I woke up at 3:30 am in a hotel room after the Texas Water Safari. I thought I would start driving the day before, but I … Continue reading “Sunset Race – 6/14/2018”
Orchestra concert, bad hair, a new bridge, and a long motorcycle ride all happened. Nothing specific to report. Just photos.
Maggie has never had her hair dyed before. So she came over to do it with Sonora. Here are a few photos of the mess! Of course I didn’t capture the finished product. Maggie was swimming every day that summer training for races, so the dye didn’t last very long in her hair. But it … Continue reading “Dying Maggie’s Hair – 6/1/2018”
It was highly recommended that we have a spray skirt on our boat for the Texas Water Safari. I wasn’t too worried, but Jo Jo took care of us. She planned a day and came over to help us out. We started out by putting T in the front of the boat and cutting a … Continue reading “Spray Skirt – 5/29/2018”
Sonora wanted to have an overnight camp out at Waterfall for her birthday. She actually wanted 2 nights but we limited it to one night. It was all we could handle and the girls wanted to spend most of their time inside anyway! We did do some swimming/floating in the river. Hogan Haake

I can tell a difference as the course has changed and several more difficult obstacles were present this year. We didn’t … Continue reading “Mud Run – 5/19/2018”
We needed a great light system to do the Texas Water Safari. In order to get the lights on the boat, my co-worker Eric said he would 3D print a holder. Here is the initial fitting. These 3 photos demonstrated the initial fit before final printing took place. Everything looked good and I gave Eric … Continue reading “Printed Light Holder – 6/1/2018”
If you remember way back, I took a motorcycle trip to Colorado where I broke down. I purchased a truck and drove myself and the bike home. Now, almost 3 years later, it was time to part with the truck. Danelle used it for her PhD research and now the research part is over. So … Continue reading “Goodbye Truck – 5/13/2018”
Another Sunset race. We got there early and a guy backed a race boat down the ramp. He said he was breaking in a new motor. I was excited at first as I do love motorized things, but my joy changed. He was using racing fuel and left a fog of spent fuel and fumes … Continue reading “Sunset Race – 5/10/2018”
