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...
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...
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...
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...

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....
False Kiva is a human-made stone circle of unknown origin in a cave in a remote area of the Canyonlands National Park. No official trail leads out to the cave, but Conor did a bit of research and we found the start of the trail. A mile and a half,...
