The 116th Sunset Race was set to go downriver to the Meramec Marina. The race would be 12 days before the MR340, so I hoped to see several paddlers out for a fun training run before the race. Several of my favorite people where here to paddle! I brought two boats tonight. The kayak is … Continue reading “July Sunset Race (116th) – 7/12/2018”
Danelle has had a few surprise birthday parties for me. They are always a fun time and lots of planning. I think she was a bit surprised when her 40th birthday came and went with little fanfare. Unless you consider sending her to the beach for a week with friends a decent thing. Anyway, this … Continue reading “Danelle’s Surprise Birthday Party – 7/7/2018”
On the drive back from a visit to KC where we dropped off Sonora to hang out with her cousins for a few weeks, Danelle had a serious discussion with me about cats. We got Coat Rack less than a year ago after Tiko died. Petra wasn’t a huge fan of of Coat Rack as … Continue reading “Sushi – 7/3/2018”
We finally made a trip out to Waterfall to open it up for the year. It sounds way more fancy than what it is. What it really means is that Danelle and I are going out there to work. We’ll get water in the tank, install the new sink and hose to make the water … Continue reading “Waterfall Season Opening – 5/5/2018”
This month, its all about me. In an effort to get a light above my desk at work fixed, I took a “scared” photo of myself holding a poop emoji. I sent this to the office manager that promptly got it taken care of. But she printed it out and put it on the office … Continue reading “April – 2018”

The kids were not completely into the walk, but I found ways to entertain them. And … Continue reading “Walking To The Bank – 4/17/2018”
The kids participated in their last orchestra together until Sonora gets into high school. It was in the Webster Groves high school gym. The Niemeyer’s came out to listen to the kids. Forgot to record the concert, but had fun with friends! Hogan Haake
For Christmas, we got family tickets to see 2 Cellos. With both of the kids in orchestra, we though this would be a nice treat. The concert was at the Fox theater, which is also cool. Here is a short video near the end of the concert. I left the concert with mixed feelings. I … Continue reading “2 Cellos – 1/29/2018”
One of the lights in the kids bathroom went out. So I made a trip to Lowe’s to get a replacement bulb. Once I installed the bulb, it didn’t work. I was only halfway surprised as the box didn’t look in great shape. So I returned it and bought two new bulbs, as another would … Continue reading “New Bathroom Light – 1/27/2018”
We decided to hang out as a family. So we loaded up the van with too much gear and headed north to Souix Passage park. We started out playing tennis for about 2 hours. We knew it was time to quit when most of the kids hits sent a ball over the tall fences. We … Continue reading “Sioux Passage Park – 1/21/2018”
