Ha! Yeah, I'm lucky. Bunch of country roads and a bit of easy fully paved shoulder suburbia.
The IGH is sublime.

Yup. It's a bike, I'll do what I can.
It's going to look great with pebbles around it and an Alsatian. Better still some geese. They cannot be bribed
The Elvis stuff looks like Vegas.
Did you drive up to the top of Mt Estes ?
I took my wife to the VA clinic here. She has been taking a class on how to use an Alpha wave stimulator they are going to give her. Then to Walmart. The armpit of Pahrump. In Piaute Pahrump means water rock. As in artesian wells. And Las Vegas means the meadows in Spanish. More artesian wells. Then had a meeting with a guy from the landscaping company I hired to find the leak in my irrigation system. Then I tried to start my Mustang. It's sat so long the battery was dead. Won't take a charge. New battery tomorrow.
Woke up at 4 AM ...grabbed a Coke and a candy bar. Reminds me of back in my hometown there was guy who drank 12+ Pepsi cans every day and eventually died from it.

The weather has been lousy. They had 2 feet of snow the day before we got to out cabin and it has been on and off snow/sleet/rain since. I woke up this morning to clear skies and a winter wonderland that made me wish I had my skis and places with a safe snowpack (and a backcountry guide)
My wife and her brother toured the Stanley Hotel last evening while I let my son get lost in the hedge maze on a foggy, drizzly evening. I figured we weren't there long enough for him to go crazy and then freeze to death.
I'm hoping to do some sightseeing and kid friendly hikes in Ricky Mountain National Park later this morning. I told my wife we really need to come back sometime when it isn't between seasons so we can enjoy Summer and Winter activities better.
PB Blaster. Every morning you get to work and every evening you leave until it opens up.
I used to drink three or four Cokes (cans) a day. I've cut back to about two a week, and they're bottles of the stuff imported from Mexico.

We have swans, even better

Nice typo...I think. You are visiting Rocky not Ricky Mountain National Park right? Autocorrect gets us all eventually.
Not if you turn it off.

Bought another 4 pairs of socks identical to the ones yesterday. I can now lose 14 socks and still have a matching pair.....

You can never have too many pairs of socks.
Looked out to see every car gone from the parking lot, went back in and cranked up the stereo.

I took the dead battery out of the Mustang and went to Auto Zone. The battery was still under warranty. I gave them the dead one and they gave me a new one. In and out in 5 minutes. If any of you move to the Vegas area. When your first battery dies. And it will. Buy a battery with a good long warranty and you will never pay for a new one. I have been doing this for 15 years. The heat here kills batteries fast. Three years maybe four and the battery will be toast. I have been getting Auto Zone batteries for the last 20 years or so. I think one or two were out of warranty. Then I moved up in price and haven't paid for one since. Then I washed the Explorer.
Tried to figure out why the HP desktop will not put out anything on the display. It has less than 5 hours on it. 
Try installing Linux Mint on it from a USB thumb drive. It can be run from the thumb drive without fully installing it. Has all the base drivers on it.Tried to figure out why the HP desktop will not put out anything on the display. It has less than 5 hours on it.

Estes Cone is somewhere near where we were. We did enjoy a nice view of Longs Peak and a short snowy hike around Bear Lake.
I always have a hard time coming home whenever we visit mountain towns. It seems most Hoosiers prefer the beach and want to retire in the South. I'd rather live in these places.

It's probably dead. The failure rates of electronics (and lot's of other things) is high (on a relative scale) when the stuff is new, drops to very low after a break-in period of weeks, then rises slowly over years. You've probably got a case of infant mortality.Tried to figure out why the HP desktop will not put out anything on the display. It has less than 5 hours on it.
You're obviously a Linux fan. Not that there aren't reasons to be a Linux fan. But if there's nothing on the screen, the Linux version of nothing is really not any better than the Windows version of nothing. Linux fixes much; Linux doesn't fix hardware failures.

I'm looking forward to my upcoming nuptials to Sydney Sweeny.
She, of course, has no knowledge of this . . . yet!
But I have a plan.

Follow-up: Meet Smudge Pot, the rescue we dragged from under a pickup. The DVM says 4-6 weeks, younger than I thought and really too young to be adopted out. Yet. 8 weeks or so is much better.
He (uncertain; even DVM wasn't sure, too young and too much fuzzy) has an avulsion AKA de-gloving injury to the lower jaw. Some tissue, probably skin and some underlayers peeled back from front lowers
, Don't know how it happened but he can eat and is getting antibiotics so no problems anticipated.
If you know of someone who would like a (already!) very affectionate and playful kitten, a bit noisy, litter-trained, shots (not yet but we'll do 'em) within a reasonable distance, I'll meet up to two hours away.

First night of our 5yr anniversary celebration. We decided to go camping! Got some T-bones for the grill for our anniversary but tomorrow looks like rain. So if I have to cook under the canopy, I'll save the steaks for another day.
Nice camping setup. thanks for the pictures

We have a Columbia Cougar Flats tent (10'x15') thats pretty similar to your tent and we like it.
Got some manipulative therapy/massage/Bowen on my shoulder.
Cut ~300 'craft bamboo' canes. Long, thin canes about 1/2" in diameter and about 10-12 feet long (Please note use ofImperialist measurements). These are used green for weaving, tomato stakes, whatever. We give these away at the local hall. Another 600-800 to cut in the morning. Shoulder now hurts, (duh, Einstein) so calling it a day.

Had a guy pick up a kitchen, from the house we are going to eventually demolish, that I advertised on Facebook. Found out during the week that he dumped a lot of renovation rubbish in the backyard, hidden behind the garage, when he picked up the kitchen. Funnily enough it is all on CCTV. He also underpaid for some other items he purchased out of the house, and took a fire grate as well. Been talking to the police and council about it and something will be done if he doesn't get back to me and remove it over the weekend. I really hope he doesn't.
