It almost slipped past me without notice. Not until late Friday did I remember the Longmot Air Expo was in town on Saturday only and I desperately wanted to spend my day outdoors. I had it all planned out; I would wake early drive to the airport (4 miles away)...
As it turns out I missed it, the actual Summer Solstice. Officially it was yesterday, the 20th, but here I am on the 21st ready to bring up the first day of Summer. Normally I do not even think twice of the Summer Solstice, instead focusing my attentions on the...
Well, this is not new news or anything, I own multiple guns and very much enjoy shooting them. So what has changed? Today the mail came in with my new ID card from the National Rifle Association (yea, those evil guys who control the Congress somehow). Now, I’ve been considering...
Upon rescuing the mini-van I found that the interior bed/couch and table top had been removed. It was back to a 2-seat cargo van, which was not all that comfortable when I used it to go camping this past weekend. So I set out to rebuild the bed and a...

This weekend was the Dog Show at the Boulder County Fairgrounds, so instead of sitting around doing nothing I pulled out the camera and long lens to snap a few shots. As much as I have tried, I really do not have much more to say on this subject. It...
S’mores… a must-have when Tim is out camping with me. We had been hoping that the wind would die down enough to start a camp-fire and make up the S’mores the proper way -we even went stick-hunting earlier in the day – but the winds conspired against us all throughout...
