Today, in a desperate attempt to do something other than sit around behind a computer all day, I drove into Boulder to revisit Pearl Street Mall. My first, and only, visit to Pearl Street a few years back left me with a bad taste in my mouth. It seems to...
All Timmy wanted to do during his spring break was to go shooting. But, with the ammo shortage across the country, it looked as if we were not going to go… but I caved in and we hauled up to the National Forest to do practice what the State run...
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....
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...

So there I was, looking at google maps at my drive back into Colorado, when I set my focus on the storage facility that my Datsun used to hibernate this winter. I was surprised to see her in the satellite photo, and at first did not believe it. Google says...
I was going to write a blog post each day, but the activities of each day tired me out too much. Instead, I am summarizing the entire week in one mega-post… After Conor’s arrival late Sunday night, we jumped right into the activities Monday morning. I first took him to...
