New House Drop By

Of course we stopped by the house today. Most likely this will be the last time that we stop by before the final walk and closing. I don’t know why I say things like that. You and I know that it is complete bullshit. Let’s pretend that is is the last time. I won’t tell if you won’t tell. Or is that, I’ll show you mine if you so me yours.

The foam padding and carpet saran wrap have been lifted from the flooring. There are a couple stains on the carpet (looks like mud) that were not there the other day. I am sure that they will clean that up.

I don’t think that there will be any surprises in store for us. Unless, somebody (maybe you) decide to put a deck in the backyard for us as a house warming gift. Wouldn’t that be cool. You can do it anonymously if you like. We want solid, natural wood with clear stain. Oh, we want railing around the perimeter as well as a couple of steps down to the dirt/rock below. Might as well throw in a gate too.

This is the kind of deck that we are looking for:

See, nothing fancy…

Okay, back to the house (inside that is)…

Here are a few pictures that I took today:

They are in the process of replacing some bad boards by the slider window. The footprints that you see are those of Richard Kiley’s - we shared no expense.

We got a tree in the front yard now. We must of passed inspection!

To pass inspection, there has to be a tree in the front yard and an anti-syphon valve connected to the main in the front yard. Both of these must have been put in within the past couple of days.

Final picture (to celebrate 95% packing completion:

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 ro...

Barr Lake, Colorado (AKA New Lens Test)

What's one to do when you buy a new lens (discounted $300 by the way)?  Thats right, go shoot some birds at one of the many Colorado State Parks. Lucky for us, Barr Lake is just a few minute drive for us. We got up at 5am thinking that we would roll out of bed and hit the road.  Well, that didn't happen.  We got on the road at 6am and arrived a few minutes later. Our new lenses added an additional 3lbs to our backpacks and along with the tripod and water bottles it was a wonder we could walk at all. Our goal was to go out to the Gazebo.  Michelle thought it was a short walk (with a 15lb backpack in tow) but it was about 1 1/2 miles.  Normally, this would be about 30 minute walk but a ton of birds everywhere it took us about an hour or so to reach our destination. How big are our lenses?

Back From Morocco

I guess I forgot to tell you where we went for our three week vacation…. Morocco! Great trip! Met some new friends and basically toured the Moroccan countryside by bus, horse and buggy, 4x4’s and camel. We stayed at eleven different hotels and spent two nights in the Sahara desert (the Milky Way was awesome). Anyway, here is a link to the pictures that we took. Yes, Michelle and I have separate smug mug accounts for picture posting: Erich’s SmugMug site: https://erichphoto.smugmug.com/International-Travel/Morocco/   Michelle’s SmugMug site: https://michellephoto.smugmug.com/Morocco/ you can see a video slide show as well (the pictures are the same) on my youtube site: https://youtu.be/_fXuiJeJ1cU enjoy
