We Got Texture

I went by the house today to check the progress. I promised myself that I would not go there every day (or other day for that matter). The walls now have texture and the driveway cement has been poured.

We got an email from Courtney yesterday that contained the “Final Purchase Agreement” (good faith estimate) and the “Final Change Order” (breakdown of all the options we selected…yes, all $33,000 of upgrades).

We are a little concerned about our Closing Costs. Even though we are going VA, the lender originally told me, “make sure that you have enough money in the bank to cover the closing costs”… Uh, VA? No closing costs right? Hmmm, still waiting on a confirmation on that question.

Other than that, we are just waiting for the closing date. We are hoping for a late July or late August. Just thinking that it is going to be the latter since we are already in the “late” portion of June and we don’t have the customary 30 day notice. This will work as it will give us time to save up some extra cash for the move.

Oh, yesterday a house exploded here in Thornton. It felt like something hit the house here. It kinda freaked me out. I checked the house for body parts (thinking that there was a plane crash) since helicopters were flying overhead. I turned on the news and it showed where a house used to be on Monroe Street (about 1/4 mile away). The house was obliterated. There is a person missing. Not sure if they found him or what was left of him but they had a cadaver dog on site.

Going to walk by tomorrow and snap a picture or two and post them on this blog. Until then, here is a map showing where we live in relationship to the exploded house:

As promised, here is the picture of the obliterated house (or what is left of it):

Jordan Day 1

 It's been almost three years since we had payed for our trip to Jordan and Israel.  THREE FUCKING YEARS! We finally went and had a great time.   The trip lasted almost a month and we started our adventure in Amman, Jordan.  We arrived a day early so we could acclimate to the time change (nine hour difference).   We had purchased some Briggs and Riley high end luggage in hopes to carry them on the plane due to all of the recent horror stories of lost and or delayed baggage.  No such luck!  We were forced to check our bags at the gate in Denver.  If we had known our bags would have to be checked, we would have brought a lot more clothes and a much bigger suitcase.  We only brought six days of clothes (with an extra abundance of underwear and socks).   The planes were on time and we arrived in Amman a bit tired and eager to get going.   Our first hotel was the House Boutique Hotel which was really comfortable.  The hotel had a roof top pool and most importantly, a roof top bar. A lit

Thank You For The Smoke (California)! Wyoming Sucked

Another attempt at Astrophotography gone up in smoke.   Thank you California for the ruining our Wyoming weekend.  Don't worry, we will be visiting soon and will definitely leave a mark on your ass. The smoke was so bad in Wyoming.  Thick, grey and disgusting. Of course, this didn't stop people from going to one of our favorite spots in Wyoming.  Medicine Bow National Forest.   We dressed for 60 degree weather.  We didn't expect 35 degree weather with fog and blustery wind.  Glad we packed additional clothes (hats, gloves, scarfs etc). I am ahead of myself.  The day excursion to Medicine Bow was the second day.   We spent the first day at the Wyoming Territorial Prison to visit relatives.  Ha...the prison is now a park.  The prison's most famous prisoner was Butch Cassidy.  The only prison that Butch was incarcerated in.  Pretty good for career criminal. We spent most of the day at the prison.  Historical Prisons will the only ones that I will visit.  My mother raised m

Barr Lake Part Deux

Another trip out to Barr Lake with only our Cameras and super telephoto lenses in tow.   We opted to bring monopods in lieu of our heavier Manfrotto Tripods as our last trip we were overloaded with cameras and lenses. I think our trial and error is paying off.
