We took Coty out to hike at Fort Belle Fontaine. Its a hike we’ve done before and enjoyed a lot. It started out a bit brisk, but warmed up as we went along.

I was attempting to vacuum and it just smelled like the belt was burning. The only solution is to take it apart and remove the hair that is preventing it from freely moving.

Corvin was scheduled to take an Amtrak train home from school. Amtrak cancelled the train 5 days in advance due to weather. I’m guessing they don’t … Continue reading “Christmas Eve in St. Louis – 12/24/2022”
It should come as no surprise by now that I like paddling. I also like just about any weather for paddling. For the December Sunset Race, I was the only participant.
