I love paddling and getting invited to go paddling. JoJo invited me to join her for a nice morning paddle. The group included Ken, Mark, and Judy. Judy says Hi! JoJo getting in on the photos. We stopped here for lunch and to look at eagles flying around. Hogan Haake

We started out by putting T in the front of the boat and cutting a … Continue reading “Spray Skirt – 5/29/2018”
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”

Likely to be the last warm Sunset Race of the year, I made sure to get out there early and get a short unicycle ride in with the sunshine! When I got back from my ride, I was in time to see JoJo getting her boat down from on top of her van. A feat … Continue reading “October Sunset Race – 10/12/2017”
