Home on the Grange
This weekend was the annual Home on the Grange event, only a few miles outside of Longmont. The event was showcasing some vintage trailers, and since I got a thing for ’em, I set out with my camera…

Hall Ranch bike
In a second day in a row of physical activities (aka – Conor trying to kill me) we set out on our mountain bikes to re-tackle a trail we did years back when Conor first came to Colorado; Hall Ranch. I struggled, of course, but ended fighting off a few...
Rocky Mountain Ntnl Park – Ouzel Falls
Conor and I can no longer say we have never hiked in the Wild Basin area of the National Park. On Tuesday we set out to photo Ouzel Falls, roughly a 3 mile hike each way. A side benefit to hiking up in the National Park was the temperature was...
A quick getaway to the Rocky’s
I have been wondering if I made the right choice; choosing some extra cash over my freedom for the summer. It certainly is not feeling like the right choice, but I can’t fight it that the extra cash has been coming in handy. The biggest problem is the lack of...
Longmont RodFest
Each year the ColoRODans (get it?) have cruise nights in downtown Longmont. People line the streets with the lawn chairs from 3rd Street to 23rd Street to watch, or take part in, the 3-mile long cruise. I was no exception, choosing to head down to my favorite watering hole to...

McIntosh Lake
For 6 years I have lived in this city and only two miles down the road is McIntosh Lake, which I have never hiked. It is not wilderness by any means, which is probably why I have never bothered to hike it. However, Moose was in need of fresh bushes...
Easter at the Dog Park
I don’t get to get out too much with the two jobs, but Moose does not let me get away with forgetting his visits to the dog park. This time I remembered to bring my camera…
I am a South Dakotan
It is final. The paper work – complete with 2 copies of my passport, 4 of my license, 4 of my SSN card, and five notary stamps – is in the mail to the officials in South Dakota. In a few weeks I will receive the plates, titles, and registration...
Trigger time
Trigger Time Gun Club is one of the two local gun shops in town. I bought Amy from these guys a few years back and they treated me right. So, when I am in need of more personal defense ammo, parts, advice, or additional guns I go to Trigger Time....
