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. I’m not sure how many times I’ve taken our Oreck XL apart to clean it. Occasionally replacing parts. First, start with getting … Continue reading “Vacuum Repair – 2/7/2023”
Lets get the cat photos out of the way first. Coatrack finished up the dip for us. Coty has decided Sushi is her favorite. We’re having fun being silly with Coty. Here she is getting ice cream. The girls are staying warm on the couch. And more couch time. Sonora is either sitting on the … Continue reading “January 2023”
We picked one of the coldest days of the year to take Coty to the confluence. Its a really awesome place and I wanted her to experience it. So Danelle, Coty, and I set off to visit. Its a long drive down gravel roads to get there. Once we hopped out of the car, we … Continue reading “Coty at the confluence – 1/29/2023”
We wanted to do a family event while Corvin was in town over winter break. Of course its cold out so there are not tons of things that we can do out of the house. Of course the kids really like skating. We decided to go out roller skating. The plan was just the 5 … Continue reading “Roller Skating – 1/8/2023”
One of the first things you do when you live in St. Louis and have a visitor come into town is take them to The Gateway Arch. It might even be a law, but I’ll have to look into that and get back to you. Either way, Coty has been with us four months and … Continue reading “Arch Day – 1/2/2023”
We left early for Kansas City on Christmas Day. So early in fact that the kids decided to sleep just a bit more. Danelle was kind enough to stay awake with me while I drove. Once we got to KC, the kids were well rested and we went about hanging around the house. My sister … Continue reading “Christmas in KC – 12/25/2022”
Nothing like the holidays for pushing you to do the most possible in the least amount of time. Okay, we had a little more time, but I should explain. 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. That wasn’t going to stop me from a wonderful night time paddle. I don’t often make it up to the 141 bridge anymore as … Continue reading “Sunset Race – 12/9/2022”
It wouldn’t be a monthly recap without at least one cat photo. Sushi being held by Coty. We’re still not sure if Drew is trying to listen to anything else or just happened to have headphones on. We made it out to a local bar for a Stl. Blues game. And if you need to … Continue reading “November – 2022”
We left early on Wednesday 11/23 headed up north. Danelle and I decided that we would rent an Airbnb for a few nights. It probably would have been cheaper to fly Corvin home for a few days, but then the kids would all want to go hang out with their friends. This would make them … Continue reading “Thanksgiving In Wisconsin – 11/23/2022”
