Bathroom Makeover

We decided to do a bathroom makeover by adding a vanity, new lighting, paint and fixtures (TP and towel rack) and maybe a mirror as well as new shelves. Did I mention that we wanted to add a utility sink to the laundry room as well.

Off to Lowe’s we went with our price and objectives firmly planted in our minds.

There were a lot of vanity choices so we had to narrow down size and options (plastic sink vs porcelain, drawers vs cabinet, 24” or 36” width and Cheap-O Charley vs upper middle class quality.

After perusing the aisles we set our sights on a 24” vanity. White washed with grey stone top.

Since the vanity didn’t come with a faucet we opted for brushed nickel. We also did the same for the lighting, mirror and the other fixtures.

The utility sink was not really and issue. Deep and cheap.

After scheduling the contractor do do the installation of the vanity and sink we went to pick out the remaining items as well as some paint.

The install went smooth.

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

Medertariain Food!

We have had a hankering for some Mediterranean food for the past week or so. I talked to a co-worker of mine, Laufnick and he recommended a place in Boulder called, The Med. Since our nephew, Travis just signed up for a four year stint in the Air Force, we decided this would be a good way to celebrate. Okay, a little more about the Air Force….Travis has been interested in enlisting for quite some time but he had to do some prep work before he could be considered an applicant. Travis had to drop about 30 pounds before he could enlist. When Travis made his goal weight, he contacted a recruiter (which was a nightmare by the way) and started the enlistment process. This past Tuesday, Travis took his entrance exam (and scored a whopping 92%) and took a physical. After successfully passing his physical and spilling his urine on his roommate (another story to share at a later time) he officially became enlisted. I looked up The Med on the internet and from what I saw, the place looks

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
