Beautiful Pond
The New Front Yard
Back to our front yard. While I had Rich and his tractor here, I had him pull out the two holly bushes that were in the front. We still need to do a bunch of clean up and regrading in … Continue reading →
Dyerville Loop Road
Due to the rain and vacation, I hadn’t had any of the bikes out for over a month, so with the sun out, I decided to get some riding time in. I took the KLR out and explored Dyerville Loop … Continue reading →

Yo Ho Ho!
For Lori’s birthday, we sailed on a Pirate ship, saw whales, ate several great meals, snorkeled, sat on a beach, and were entertained by a very funny crew. Doesn’t get much better than that. The Marigalante is a replica of … Continue reading →
