Cool sun rays

I created my own fog…

The weather was just right so that as I sprayed it off, a little fog cloud formed.  Made for an eerie scene.

Off road trailer…

I was washing the jeep and trailer after the GOAT weekend.  It makes me appreciate the hitch setup so I can get to the undersides without having to disconnect everything.  

I like the design of the underside of the trailer.  Lost of clearance, and clean shock/bearing design.  It’s nice there’s no axle under there.

Old times…!

I was cleaning out some extra stuff in the barn and realized I probably didn’t need a dozen jugs of grit… My dad always had these antifreeze bottles he saved to use for grit (winter traction) and chain storage of all things.  I saved half of them.  I liked seeing his hand writing again… Also fun is the Gild Circle sticker.  I fondly remember working there and specifically remember stocking Prestone at the time, haha.

A fun night of hot sauce with the boys.

When I left they were comparing insurance options. 🤪 Adulting…

Savannah’s stained glass

She’s taken up designing, cutting, and soldering together stained glass projects.  Here’s her first one from scratch!

We went to Jungle Jim’s with Andy and Sophie

It was a fun Memorial Day adventure, including this tub of mud bugs (crayfish) :)

Julie got me some yummy seasoning to try with my eggs.

Salt, onion, garlic, green onion, pepper.  You had me at garlic and onion❣️



I took Chloe on our fist solo outing

She came along on my walk with Laura.  On the left you can see her enjoying the smells on the breeze from the open windows.  Laura snapped some pics of our walk together on the way.  Chloe did great.  It’s fun that she enjoys going on adventures just as much as Zoe.  Many bassets of the internet won’t even move if threatened with a leash.  She dives into her harness head first at the first little sound of it jingling. :)

A nice little hike with Laura!

Four down, six to go

The blue (cyan) dotted line shows the parts of the GOAT trail we’ve covered so far.  I’m trying to make it “coast to coast” of Ohio.  It’s a squiggly, diagonal line from the SW shores of the Ohio River to the NE shores of Lake Erie if I make it the whole way.
