King Biscuit Festival Day 2
Up and at ‘em! It’s Day 2 for King Biscuit Blues Fest in Helena, Arkansas! To save some time, we decided to stop by Mickey D’s for breakfast. We just need something to tide us over until we can get some lunch. The place was busy with all kinds of folks. There were the older […]

Cajun Vacation: Day 1 and Day 2 Drive, Drive, Drive
Vacation came early this year. Rick had his spring break start on March 4. I decided that March might be a great time to go and check out Louisiana. As long as I was paying, Rick was up for joining us. Sure, why not. Besides, his 22nd birthday would be during that week. It’ll be […]

Derby Party 2014
This year’s Derby celebration was going to be very scaled back. There was no fresh Zurekbrau available due to the effects of the polar vortex. It was just never warm enough out there to brew beer! With freezing temps, it was hard to be exposed, standing on cold concrete, and trying to use water without […]

Birthday Celebrations
Joy and I noticed some others celebrate their birthday for days. Justine did 28 days of Justine and Sara celebrates for two weeks before and after her birthday. Since we are older we needed to scale that back a little. Anyway I would like to thank Joy for making the days around my birthday wonderful. […]

Day 3: Hello, San Antonio!
I’m writing this on Day 4 actually. I never got around it to yesterday. Needless to say, we arrived in San Antonio with only one incident on record. We followed our usual on the road routine. We got up, got ready, had breakfast, and made a quick exit out of town. The weather was really […]

Rich put in filler so that the cracks in the concrete are filled. This means that dropped bolts, screws, and other bits […]

KC: Not enough TuF
It was a slow and rainy Sunday. We got up late and headed out to breakfast. Rich was planning on eating chicken at Stroud’s so breakfast was supposed to be light. We tried to find Daylight Donuts, but apparently they had closed up shop for good. We settled for breakfast sandwiches at Hardee’s. From there, […]

Flood waters are receding
This has been an interesting week. After almost 6 inches of rain over the short course of three or so days, we were flooded here. This turned out to be the highest rate that the Fox River has ever seen on record. The river finally crested at 7.48 feet. That meant that the channels around […]

Work on the interior of the garage begins
Now that the garage is up, it’s time to work on finishing it off. Rick is my undocumented slave. That and the fact that he really needs to work on his skills for when he owns a home. Rich has a lot of techniques and experience to share. I figure they might as well as […]

Aww! End of summer already?
I always hate to see Labor Day come. It’s the end of summer and it starts the beginning of fall and cooler weather. If you didn’t know it, I love, love, love the hot weather. Growing up in Southern Indiana, it was usually warm and humid. So I’m used to that type of weather. I […]
