Online Store Open for Business

September 22, 2008 kleucht Leave a comment

Why would a family website like leucht.com open up an online store? Well, I’m sort of a geek if you hadn’t figured that out already. 🙂 What kind of merchandise is offered at this online store? I have a whole suite of Dee Mack Class of 1988 related merchandise, including the famous 20 year reunion DVD and various refrigerator magnets and photo prints.

I also have a DVD full of old silent movies that my grandfather, Kurt William Leucht, and the Peoria Cinema Club created back in the 1950’s. Then there are a whole bunch of different types of items with my almost famous lemon blossom photo emblazoned on them.

Then there are some books that we have written and have decided to share. And lastly but not leastly, we have some really cool t-shirts that proudly advertise for this fine family website. I make very little profit, if at all, from the sales of this merchandise. It’s mostly just for fun. Enjoy! Here is a link to the leucht.com online store.

Tropical Storm Fay Aftermath

This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnm_MKQmDxU) shows the real aftermath of the storm in my area. It rained for 3 days around here and we had some flooding. Then about 5 days later we started getting attacked by these ferocious flying beasts…

Door to door salesman repellant

May 18, 2008 kleucht 1 Comment

This is how we get rid of door to door salesmen

Just kidding. This is a little yellow rat snake we found “hanging out” at our front door the other day. I’ve seen a couple of these yellow rat snakes around here. A really big one and this little one. Neither has shown any aggression and I guess they’ll keep the rodents away. So I guess I’m not really bothered by them being around. The only other type of snake I’ve seen around here are the little black racers. They’re pretty common in this area and completely harmless. I witnessed a black racer catching and eating a little lizard once. That was pretty cool.

Osprey eating a fish at KSC

April 13, 2008 kleucht Leave a comment

The other day at work I saw an osprey sitting on a pole eating a fish, so I took some video of it and posted it on YouTube:

Ospreys are pretty common around here. Sometimes that are mistaken for bald eagles due to their white heads.
