A little frosting makes everything better

I slept so comfortably last night that when I woke this morning I had no clue I was covered in frosting. The interior of the van never dipped below mid 30’s overnight, which is sleeping-in-my-skimpies kind of weather.  Immediately after snapping this image, I opened the river’s door allowing all...

Colorado National Speedway

Good ol’ Saturday Night racin’ at Colorado National Speedway! This was my first visit to CNS even though I have lived only a few miles from the track for the past 5 years. It is visible from the Interstate and each time I passed by I told myself, “this Saturday...

Rock and Roll in Denver

Last night I attended my first concert in… longer then I am willing to admit. Even though I bought two tickets (in hopes of finding a date) I ended up selling the extra ticket, which paid for the night’s parking in downtown Denver on a Friday. I got to see...

More power

At the beginning of March I stumbled on a great deal on 100 watt solar panels for $149 each. Normally, that dollar amount would get you a 45 watt package, on sale from Harbor Freight. So, when I saw the extremely low price, I went ahead and picked up two....

The cost of 2013 Q1

This month, instead of detailing my expenses for the month of March I have decided to expand that to include the first quarter of 2013, as my monthly numbers really do not change by much. Anyone that has been reading my ‘cost of’ posts in the past few months pretty...

The man is keeping me down

Since returning to Colorado, I’ve done little other than hang out with my son. There was still too much snow leftover to do many outdoor activities the first few days. Once it did begin to melt off I somehow injured my back at the gym. Heck, I thought I was...
