Goooooooood Moooorning Boulder Rez!

August 14, 2014
August 14, 2014

sun and cloudsIt has been awhile since we have gone sailing due to the frequency of afternoon thunderstorms and the reservoir being closed for the past 2 weekends for Ironman races. But this morning, we woke up early with the intention of reembarking on the magical water-filled world known as Boulder Rez, for one of the last sailing outings with our SV Bosco. We chose to go in the morning due to afternoon thunderstorms (which did end up coming in), and to have a nice pre-work morning outside.

Sometimes things just don’t work out

August 8, 2014
August 8, 2014

I promptly left work at 1:45 pm, which is very early, even for me. The plan was to race home: Pack the car with small mountain of climbing gear staged in the living room, meet our Home Depot Chica at 2:30 for a bathroom remodel project, swing by A to Z Kitchen to talk about getting new cabinet doors, then race up Boulder Canyon and start working my project and for Jill to start working her project for as long as we could stay…THEN…meet up with some out of town friends for drinks and maybe dinner.

2 Parter: Feng Shui Slumber Party

PART 1: FENG SHUI

Today we decided to take another step towards our goal by going through and getting rid of anything we don’t really use or need anymore. It started simple enough with the front closet, but quickly moved into all of our closets, drawers and storage spaces. Its pretty easy to get rid of things like shoes and clothes that you don’t wear or hats that have long gone out of fashion and your tastes. These things we piled up for a goodwill donation.

Adventure Stir Crazy, so I am growing my beard

July 11, 2014
July 11, 2014

Man-o-man, I feel like we (or at least me, Jake) are/am getting a little stir crazy in old Boulder, CO. For one, it’s been about 2 months since our last big trip (Disney) and while we have done little jaunts to-and-fro, we haven’t had a proper adventure in some time. We haven’t gotten outside to climb, which we generally do in the afternoons…or sail…which we generally do in the afternoons. All because daily afternoon rain/thunder storms have been plaguing the countryside for the past few months.

An American Hero

July 2, 2014
July 2, 2014

It was a bright and sunny day, about 73°F, with just a hint of a breeze and a few friendly clouds in the sky…an absolutely beautiful and normal Boulder day. There I was, minding my business, working at my desk (the average forecasting reports while collecting millions of dollars; in short doing my job amazingly) when all of a sudden I hear a loud POP

A-Coon-ama-TaTa!

May 14, 2014
May 14, 2014

Mama CoonGet it?!?. It’s my hokey way of saying farewell to our furry friends who have been living under our deck for the past month. We had some suspicions about the large raccoon prowling around our neighborhood, but only recently discovered that it’s home was under our deck. We assumed it was male since it was so large, but later discovered that “he” is actually a “she” because she has been spotted with babies. We dubbed her “Mama-Coon”, as she is a mom as well as a raccoon; seemed a fitting name!
