Hot Air Balloon Ride

  • 14 Oct, 2005

For our wedding anniversary (ok so a few weeks after the actual date) Christi and I went on a hot air balloon ride! It was a crisp 30° at dawn when we went up but that didn’t stop us. It’s a little tricky on the take off and landing but other than that it’s smooth […]

Break out the gloves.

  • 6 Oct, 2005

It’s cold (39°) and getting colder here before it warms back up this weekend. I heard of snow flakes in the area but I didn’t see any myself. However I did have to go though my trunk and grab out my gloves. Brrr.

MN State Fair Recap

  • 26 Aug, 2005

We had a great time at the Minnesota State Fair today. Started off with a pork-chop on a stick at 10 am and it was great. Also ate Australian potato skins, some of a funnel cake, mini cinnamon rolls with ice cream, had a beer, a malt, some pop and I think that was it. […]

The New WCCO Web Design

  • 30 Jun, 2005

News and media websites have a tendency to look rather crowded and cluttered. Coming across a nice design just doesn’t happen that often. Until now. The new WCCO TV website got an overhaul recently and it’s a media website done right! The design is simple and clean. Making the site easy to navigate and a […]

MnPass Reopens to General Traffic

  • 13 Jun, 2005

Less than a month after it began, and a bunch of complaints later, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has re-open the MnPass lane on 394 to general traffic during non-rush hour times. This means that in the evenings and on weekends anyone will be allowed in the lanes; just like it used to be. The […]

Pudding Pops are Back!

  • 23 May, 2005

We were at Target on Saturday and my wife found Pudding Pops! Do you remember them? When I was a wee little kid I remember eating them and they are so good. For years they have been absent from store shelves, but requested quite a bit. Well now Kemps have brought them back to store […]
