Finally made a few changes to knup.net! Launched a brand new theme that takes on more of a magazine style look. Maybe this will motivate me to keep up with posting a little better in 2009 :) Some fun things about this theme include:
That’s just a few of the things that stand out about the new “knup.net”! Hope you all enjoy it and looking forward to blogging into 2009.

Fun to see my alma mater, Elmhurst College, make the NCAA tournament in D3 once again. Brings back some great memories from 2001 :) They hosted UW Whitewater tonight and couldn’t pull out the win. My boy from Manito, Ryan Burks, had a great season. Congrats! Brent Ruch, another central illinois guy was named 1st team all CCIW! Great work guys! Now time to come back to this area and play on my rec league teams
Great season Bluejays!

My little baby, Bryce, is now all over the place. He’s almost 9 months old now and already crawling all over the house. Pulls himself up on everything and stands there. I think he’ll be walking fairly early. Anyways, he just got over a week of sickness and he’s teething as well. YUCK! Check out the pictures below of the little fella (that’s what Lissy calls him).

Check out the pictures below of the 2009 Pinewood Derby. Both Drew and Alyssa had cars in the event. They both proved to be fairly slow cars, but Alyssa ended up winning most unique design. Her car was “Ham” from the Cars movie. Drew’s was Boost from Cars. They both had fun and I was proud of them for being good sports for not “winning”.

So I drive a 2001 Saturn SL1. Has over 100,000 miles on it but has always ran pretty well. As of 5-6 months ago, a little light popped up on the dashboard. Being very NON-CAR savy myself, I did what the average stupid person would do - IGNORED IT. I’m like, car is still running so it must not mean anything.
So I continue driving the beast and all of a sudden, my heat seems to be broke. Crap! Time for a new car? Nah, I can handle no heat. Well, go on a few more weeks and now after I turn the car off - it seems to “run” for a good 5-10 minutes after the fact. Almost like it’s trying to cool down. Hmmm. This car sucks!
Well, my lazy butt finally decided to look into that light. What do you know!?!?! My car was completely out of engine coolant. Could this really help? I filled the little compartment with the proper coolant - and WALA. Heat works… Car shuts off properly… Good as new :) If it would have only fixed the oil leak.
So moral of the story. If the car is complaining with a little light on the dashboard - it most likely means something.

Don’t have a lot of exciting updates as you can tell. I’ll try to keep up better. But here are some updated family pictures from the last month.

My dad, brother (Rodney), son (Drew), and I all went to the Cardinal Caravan held in East Peoria the other night. It was fairly uneventful with Brendan Ryan and Chris Perez being the biggest name current Cardinals there. Al Hrobowski, Danny Cox and John Tudor were some of the old timers in attendance. The highlight of the night was watching Drew get Fredbird’s autograph. He posed for a picture next to Fredbird and the bird picked up Drew for the picture and held him sideways. Drew was actually kinda shocked and a little scared. Ha, thanks Fredbird - you scared my son away from future Cardinals events
Nah, actually he was ready to talk Cardinal baseball later that week so this should be a fun season. Enjoy the pics.
