No where near as celebrated as the Mother’s edition, we Fathers get our day to be wined and dinned once a year as well. Today Timmy treated me out to breakfast at our local mom-n-pops dinner where the morning weather was so perfect, we ate our eggs and bacon out...
This weekend was the annual Home on the Grange event, only a few miles outside of Longmont. The event was showcasing some vintage trailers, and since I got a thing for ’em, I set out with my camera…
In a second day in a row of physical activities (aka – Conor trying to kill me) we set out on our mountain bikes to re-tackle a trail we did years back when Conor first came to Colorado; Hall Ranch. I struggled, of course, but ended fighting off a few...
Conor and I can no longer say we have never hiked in the Wild Basin area of the National Park. On Tuesday we set out to photo Ouzel Falls, roughly a 3 mile hike each way. A side benefit to hiking up in the National Park was the temperature was...

For 6 years I have lived in this city and only two miles down the road is McIntosh Lake, which I have never hiked. It is not wilderness by any means, which is probably why I have never bothered to hike it. However, Moose was in need of fresh bushes...
Tim had his 16th birthday today. He chose an intimate family-only get together at his favorite (and expensive) restaurant followed by a very non-traditional apple turnover tower instead of a cake. Even Moose got to join in on the fun.
Well, sometimes I do things backwards. Safety often takes a back seat in my plans, but today it finally makes the headlines with the installation of new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors on the van. Together with the two fire extinguishers, I feel a bit more confident in myself if...
