Coach had not been on a cruise ship since a terrible 3-day cruise with 30-40 foot seas in the Gulf of Mexico. It was a vomitorium. Bad news. Coach swore off cruising, but a man who loves the outdoors cannot decline a chance to see Alaska and Princess has made me reconsider my previous cruise…

Houston vs Harvey: A lopsided victory
If you’re a regular on this blog. Hi Mom! This will be an unusual post. Good afternoon Houstonians! Is anybody else confused about what day it is? I feel like last Friday was 5 minutes and 5 years ago. Some of you reading this may have lost someone, lost everything, or simply are feeling hopeless….
Day 6 – Rocky Mountain High 2017 – Waterfalls and Ice Caves
It was a bit chilly last night! The entire team spent the morning with their sleeping bags completely over their heads. Coach was the first to brave the cold and get breakfast going. After about five minutes the water was boiling and hot coffee was being pressed. Things started to look a bit brighter. After…
Day 5 – Rocky Mountain High 2017: Great Coffee, Independence Pass & Lincoln Gulch
Good morning all! We have emerged from the wilderness and Verizon has graced us with LTE. Lots to catch you up on! Let’s you and us pretend its last Wednesday, alright, good!

Day 4 – Rocky Mountain High 2017 – Sleep for Suckas, BV, & That is also good…
Interrogative: What sound immediately jerks a Coach out of bed and knocks off all sleepiness? Or perhaps, What sounds like that disgusting cat that lived outside your first apartment after eating several birds? Answer: Retching. Unbridled Retching. Impressive in a medical way. Yes, at 3:00 AM, Gman got hit with the I-swallowed-fifty-gallons-of-pool-water-and-ate-too-many-processed-weenies case of the…
Day 3 – Rocky Mountain High 2017: Whit’s End, Bathrooms, & A Great Wolf
This post brought to you by Lady Coach. Apparently, late nights and bedding down in a cozy-closet doesn’t promote sleeping in: Poppy crawled into bed with the coaches around 5:30 AM. All righty then! Gman managed to keep knocking out the Zs until almost 8:00, though, even after rolling off the bed in a tangle…
Day 2 – Rocky Mountain High 2017: Deep Canyon, Big Steak
Due to some clever climate control, all parties slept in until almost 8am. Way to go Lady Coach! The cold a/c makes them want to stay under the covers. To get the day started off right Coach took E, Gman, and Poppy down to the lobby for a breakfast of waffles, eggs, and cereal. Coach…

Day 12 & 13- No Hurry 2016: Nazis, Traffic, Scandia, and Home
July 26th, 2016 The trip is quickly winding down and TeamHovis is getting a bit spent on energy. The whole team slept in until late but the Coaching Staff was awoken in the middle of the night to a 50 person fight breaking out on the street below. It was a like a train wreck…

Day 10 – No Hurry 2016: Playground, Kissing, and Dorie
June 24th, 2016 TeamHovis set out to have the slowest day on record. Mission accomplished. The kiddos slept in and we started the day off with breakfast at the hotel. Great accommodations at the Best Western Plus TreeHouse. Great little road side family hotel with wonderful views of Mt Shasta. Through some fortuitous timing, we…
