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...

Compact Jr rebuild, demolition

Since I am bound to the Colorado area (give or take a state) over the next month or three the rebuild of the Compact Jr trailer has begun. I do not expect it to be a speedy process, but over the next few months I will be slowly rebuilding the...

Still a resident of Colorado

I know, I know. This is the 3rd year now that I’ve said I will setup residence in South Dakota and once again I took the easy way out. I blame it on the Datsun though, it isn’t my fault… I swear! All the work that it takes to setup...

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...

I am a Moose

All the time I lived here it was only a block away from the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge. I had passed by it a half-million times and always wondered… so today I walked through the doors, simply to ask if I could camp in their parking lot for...

My precious

My excitement has been building up over the last few weeks… knowing I get to hang out with my son, my cat, and my precious –  my 1978 Datsun 280z. I checked in on the car the first day I got back into Colorado, making sure it started up… success!...
