What is Retirement Anyway

The second Heco was put in save for a couple of pieces of chimney. So close and wow it is getting cold. When the sun goes down that is; by day it is nice. The nearby creek is partially frozen too. Bikes are in the shop and at last work…

Last Waltz

Painters are finished with the exterior. Picture a whirlwind of ladders starting at 7:50. Faster and better is the truth. In a week they return for the back apartment and inside what was completed today. My neighbor, yes the same with whom we had some unpleasantness, is on Thursday bringing…

That’s the Sound of My Elbows not Paining

May 11, 2021 Construction Facts No Comments

A contractor is building the long awaited back steps. While it will be super to stroll out the back door and not have to repel down, what cannot be overstated is how glad I am to give my elbows, wrists and hands a break. There’ve been those scary days when…

Place is still under construction, yeah it is still as true as ever. I did return M P’s fancy aluminum scaffolding today and the siding is mostly up and painting not far behind. That’s longhand for closer than ever. This year though, definitely predominately spent honing my carpentry skills. Glad the…

Team, it is teens in the day and has been in the negatives at night. 5.10s plus gore tex socks plus regular old socks are plenty though. It’s my fingers whose cold can be surprisingly intense. I don’t have the right things for legs either. Thank goodness there’s so much…

For those keeping track, Zeke has not mountain biked properly since the big day at Keystone. I have simply been too excited about collecting wood. The forest fire that’s about 40 miles north helps keep me motivated and the pleasure of simply being able to carry, cut and split the…

An Encounter

While tidying up the place, I went to open the sliding door leading to the back / south side. And lo! There’s a little birdie sitting on the ground in an area ever shaded and still damp from yesterday’s rain cooling off perhaps? We looked at each other and the…

Rode the Spanish Creek trail again. Plus the lower one. And mapped them both plus some of the S Crestone Creek trails in Trailforks. My username is Epomethius if you happen to want to look. T’was a fun ride. Prior to all that I met with a chimney and stove…

Taking The Fun Way

We went to town again. Honestly, we cruise in more days than not and unless loaded with groceries ride a bit more and more = up to take the fun way down along the creek. This is farmer market day. Too late for eggs though some onions and kale were…
