On Saturday, the Iowa State Cyclones opened their season by thrashing an upstart team from Cedar Falls. The referees tried valiantly to keep the Purple Hawks in the game by awarding them 2 touchdowns they didn’t earn. The first was an incomplete pass that UNI “recovered” and returned for a… Read More »Iowa State 29 Northern Iowa 26
There are a wide variety of pictures in the folder 2009-05-29. They range from pictures of socks that Shannon made to Ernie trimming trees to baby worst birds to invites to my housewarming party to pictures Sara took at my housewarming party. The guy in the picture with me and… Read More »2009-05-29
A couple Tuesdays back, Baby Got Rack took its award winning Meat Loaf Cupcakes to the Iowa State Fair to compete against the best the Cyclone State has to offer. I believe there were 8 other combatants in the category of Combo/Specialty and 44 combatants altogether. Here is a collection… Read More »Baby Take State Fair
Hitting up the backlog with another collection of pictures from Pufferbilly Days last year. These pictures are from when Bethany, Nora, and I visited the petting zoo. I believe that to be all of my 2018 Pufferbilly Days pictures backlog.
The pictures in the folder 2009-05-10 are from a Mother’s Day Celebration. I think it is the first family celebration I hosted at my current abode. Might have been one of the last. I don’t know that I will ever host one again because my house is on the smaller… Read More »2009-05-10
I recently went over to my Grandma’s house with my Mom to take a picture for Page 117 of THE PHOTO JOURNAL PROJECT. I don’t usually explain what the directions for the page before I unleash the picture on the world, but I’m going to explain the theme first this… Read More »A Photo Journal – Page 117
Hitting up the 2018 backlog, thought now would be a good time to share some miscellaneous pictures from the Sunday of the 2018 Pufferbilly Days. Trying to get these out there before this year’s Pufferbilly Days festivities kickoff in a couple of weeks. Bethany brought Nora down for Pufferbilly Days.… Read More »Last Pufferbilly Days
Usually I don’t like to get this late into a month before I publish my favorite photos from the previous months SELFIE PROJECT, but I guess I’ve been busy and I’ve really been trying to be diligent with hitting up that 2018 backlog. I don’t know that I did anything… Read More »Selfie Project – July

The pictures in the folder 2009-05-06 are of Shannon paying off a wager that she lost… to me. I feel bad calling it a wager, because she didn’t really stand much of a chance of winning. Well she had one chance when I think about it. We wagered on the… Read More »2009-05-06
Last Saturday night Jay, Willy, Jesse, and I piled into the Sir Pixalot-mobile and headed down to Des Moines for a dinner that had absolutely nothing to do with Jay’s dinner. Anybody that says that the very delicious dinner we took down had anything to do with Jay’s birthday is… Read More »A Photo Journal – Page 31
There is 1 day left to vote in the polls that will determine what pictures I enter in the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest. If voting in all 6 polls at once is too much for you, you can at least cast a ballot in the last poll. Hidden Treasures of… Read More »WPC – WEEK 204 – MUSIC
The pictures in the folder named 2009-04-24 are from when Jesse and I went to Tom Harkin’s office and met with a member of his staff to encourage him to support ending the civil war in Uganda. We were very pleased with ourselves and decided to celebrate afterwards by meeting… Read More »2009-04-24
I made a recent stop at Boone’s local old timey ice cream shop for a malt and to pick up a couple glass bottles of Pepsi to pay off a 7 month (but who’s counting) debt. While I was there I spied a couple glass bottles of Bubble Up. Bubble… Read More »A PHOTO JOURNAL – PAGE 116
It is well established that my favorite theme for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE is BLACK & WHITE. Therefore I took several BLACK & WHITE pictures in the last week and not just the picture of Taylan that I used as my submission for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Here are a… Read More »Available as Another Possibility
My favorite theme was a very popular theme. BLACK & WHITE had a plethora of submissions from such exotic places as New York City to Indianola to Mount Pleasant to Roland to Woodward to near Adel. I was expecting a submission from Canada, but I’m guessing that that person just… Read More »WPC – WEEK 202 – BLACK & WHITE
There aren’t many pictures in the folder 2009-04-11, so I’m publishing photos from the folder 2009-04-20. The pictures from the folder 2009-04-11 are from when Derrick and Jen moved into their new house. They moved about a month after I moved. They have since moved again. I have not. They… Read More »2009-04-11 & 2009-04-20
A week or so ago the largest steam engine in the world pulled into Boone and spent the night. I wasn’t able to get a lot of great pictures of it because of its location and my work schedule at the computer mine. However, I was able to get a… Read More »A Photo Journal – Page 73
As the 2019 RAGBRAI continues to wind its way across Iowa, now seems like a good time to publish more pictures from the 2018 backlog of when RAGBRAI passed through Boone.
Last Saturday was the annual Boone County Fair barbecue contest. Baby Got Rack decided to take a different tact this time. Rather than entering the pizza, we decided to enter something new. Meatloaf Cupcakes. This was a big risk just based on the fact that the pizza was a surefire… Read More »Baby Got Rack Takes the Boone County Fair
I thought for sure that this week would not be a double digit week, but it was! The 4th straight week! That makes me happy that so many of you found your ANGER, which I consider to be one of the hardest them of this set of 52. A note,… Read More »WPC – WEEK 201 – ANGER
