In April 2022 we started to sense the septic system wasn’t working quite right. We had pooling water in the leach field and the accompanying smell.

Since it had only been 10 years since we had faced this situation we thought, it can’t be. Yeah, well, it was. In the picture below you can see a whole drilled into the line that has roots that have filled the line.

2021 began with a trip to Palm Springs for our first dog show. Lynda and Leo were competing in confirmation, rally and obedience. The trip was successful and we all learned a lot about the difference between the movie and an event.

Due to the pandemic and home schooling and TKD via Zoom, we decide to permanently park the cars outside and change out the flooring from hard plastic tiles to rubber mats style tiles. This would give some extra give for workouts and TKD. By this time Lynda was also participating in TKD.

In 2017, we started the year in Australia. Lynda rented a home for Gunnar, Courtney, Mom and I in the Darlinghurst neighborhood of Sydney. We used this as our home base to enjoy the city sights especially the New Year’s Eve events and fireworks.

As the world locked down, we adapted. Sure there were a few accidents (broken arm, cut forehead).

The world (ours at least) turned sideways in March of 2020. We went from having a grandnephew in first grade at Baymonte and dog training classes in Capitola to starting a home school at the dining table and Tae Kwon Do classes in the garage via Zoom.

In October 2019, we went to Morocco. We were able to spend three weeks in this wonderful country.

As we researched itineraries and options we came across a few surprises that left lasting impressions on us. We had selected Rabat as a starting point based on others recommendations.

I was tracking down some rattles I was hearing in spring 2023. I'd been reading threads in Rennlist about door panel warping (mine isn't severe), loose rear window fitting, etc. Then the switch broke 'cause its old (old guy reference).

Experience was great. Lots of good training with Greg Wanket.

5 20 minutes sessions during the day. Started with 2 sessions of lead/follow. 3rd session, he started to lead and then let me lead. 4th and 5th sessions I lead. Last session I was by myself for most of the runs.
