The cost of Feb 2013

Another month has passed so I get to run the numbers again. I don’t know why I take such joy in budgeting and crunching all the numbers afterward, but it has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. I like to know the statistical facts,...

A random meeting with Troy

After yesterday’s long mountain biking adventure, I knew I would not be doing much today. Some muscles hurt that have never hurt before and other hurt that would make it extremely uncomfortable to do anything physical anyway… a bike’s seat is a torture device I tell ya! With another day...

Cave Creek Regional Park

Now that was a day worth living! After leaving Nicole’s yesterday morning, I was driving North out of Phoenix when I decided to drop in at the gym one last time before leaving the area. Another great workout and a second shower in one day (I’m splurging now) started the...

Flying North

I am officially heading north as of today. I made up my mind late last night to drive on over hanging around the Phoenix area another week. It may be a little early to start thinking about sleeping in the overnight Colorado temperatures, but it will be another 4-5 weeks...

Wildlife World Zoo

I arrived in the greater Phoenix area on Friday and, once again, dropped in to hang out with my Sister for a few days. Today, after my normal work load, we both went to visit the Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium in Litchfield Park, AZ. I’d like to say how...

Casa Grande Mountain Park

Driving North from Tucson I have seen this little park nestled inside the ribbons of asphalt between Interstate 8 and 10. I’ve only been able to get a quick peak at it each time I have driven past over the years as you are always having to pay too much...

Snow-birding it… in the snow 1

Snow-birding it… in the snow

My second snow of the year, and it happens in the middle of the desert. I joked yesterday that it may get down to the high 30’s due to this storm, and last night it dropped down to a chilly 49 in the van, but today the weather lived up...

Purifying my van-funk 0

Purifying my van-funk

Over the course of the past few months, living full-time in a small confined space like my van, it has become apparent that I was in need of some way to ‘purify’ the air in here. First and foremost, I am a man… and just like any guy, all alone,...

Titan Missile Museum

At the Titan Missile Museum, near Tucson, Arizona, visitors journey through time to stand on the front line of the Cold War. This preserved Titan II missile site, officially known as complex 571-7, is all that remains of the 54 Titan II missile sites that were on alert across the...

Insomnia 0

Insomnia

I guess all the relaxing yesterday meant my body was rested up enough to wake up at midnight and not go back to sleep. I laid there until 4am hoping for me sleep, but finally gave in and packed up the van to make my 50 miles before the sunrise....
