Surreal Day

Stopped by the Garden on my way back from giving a friend a ride to the cancer Pavilion at Penrose to see if I could find the bighorn sheep. No luck there, but the view of Pikes Peak was kind of pretty. Well worth stopping at the visitor's center for a few shots anyway. Been … Continue reading Surreal Day

Dog Tired

Lol... there is nothing like a dog to get you going when you are "Dog Tired". It has been a rough week so far. Four punishing nights in a row on the loading docks, two early morning dental appointments for a friend, another early morning appointment at the oncology center for another friend. Fighting off … Continue reading Dog Tired

Deer Herd Adventure

This morning the Almighty was smiling on my photography endeavors 🙂 Thankfully I got a good night's sleep and awoke before first light and before the doggies had any interest in departing from their comfortable slumber. So... there was time for a healthy breakfast of coffee and some discounted do-nut balls from Walmart that I … Continue reading Deer Herd Adventure

Leading Indicator of Better Times

Before 2008 when the stock and housing markets crashed, there were indicators of the choppy seas ahead. My wife and I were involved in three businesses, unfortunately all non-essential to daily life. She had two businesses, mobile disc jockeying in the wedding industry and the online and physical sales of collectibles at a store we … Continue reading Leading Indicator of Better Times

If This Jacket Could Talk

If This Jacket Could Talk As luck would have it, I got a really good deal on a new Gor-Tex jacket the other day. Later that day as I went to zip up my old one it didn't feel right, looked down and the zipper was broken... zip all you want, but it isn't going … Continue reading If This Jacket Could Talk

Pikes Peak or Bust

Pikes Peak or Bust, my motto lately, became one step closer to reality today. Under contract for a house in the old west mining town of Cripple Creek, Colorado. Sketchy start to the day however, as creepy stalker woman somehow managed to be out working in the yard in March at 7:00 a.m. so as … Continue reading Pikes Peak or Bust

Real Health Insurance

Going down to the post office today to pick up my health insurance. Not the kind of insurance you usually think of though, this is cheap insurance and a very small price to pay for real health insurance at that. The health insurance I am talking about is colloidal silver. Comes from a company called … Continue reading Real Health Insurance

Another Sunday

Survived another Sunday... Not my best day in the eyes of the Almighty though I am sure! The day was going pretty well, managed to get showered shaved and off to church 🙂 That's where things began to falter though. Managed to say "shit" in church, right in front of  the pastor while spilling coffee … Continue reading Another Sunday

Excellent End to a Bad Day

Not such a great day... didn't get a lot of sleep last night, one of those nightmares where you are half awake trying to accomplish some task that you can't figure out and it won't end... Finally woke up enough to just get up and wake up all the way so I could go back … Continue reading Excellent End to a Bad Day

The Darkness and the Light

Interesting day... Sitting at the Donut Mill collecting my thoughts as I realized that it was this exact day that my wife went in to hospice down in Colorado Springs two years ago. The cancer had spread everywhere it seemed and there was no more hope. On March 5, 2015 she passed, ending six long … Continue reading The Darkness and the Light
