I'm really happy we don't live there any longer. Delta is much more temperate.

Just a Sunday Ride

Bike ride on the Henry Hudson Trail, first stop was Off The Hook Restaurant & Bar for a quick Yuengling. On the way back home stopped at Water Witch for a coffee. Great local jam, lots of blues and a great rendition of the Stones Dead FLowers.

Changed from Running to Cycling

by Rick | Thu Dec 17, 2020 | All (Home), Health, Runkeeper | 0 Comments

Well, it happened. This year I discovered that my body just doesn't handle the impact of running any longer. I've been using Runkeeper to track my running and walking activity since July of 2010. In that time I've tracked over 500 runs for a total of 980 miles. It was...

Night shot iPhone 6 Plus, grainy but nailed the shot.

I really like ProCamera. It is easy to use but has depth, allowing lots of control including separate exposure and focus points, shutter or ISO priority and bracketing. I'll be trying some even darker night shpts soon. Adjustments in Lightroom 5 include crop,...

Reached some goals…

by Rick | Mon Aug 10, 2015 | All (Home), Health, Lifestyle, Runkeeper | 0 Comments

I've been trying to lose some weight since I moved to Florida in April and I finally hit my first goal. I started at a whopping 277 and set a target on 230, which I reached today! 47 pounds shed! The trick for me was to exercise regularly. I began tracking activity...

...and not a day too soon. We spent the last half of the month replacing cards in our Alcatel and Cisco hardware and finally established a stable DS3 circuit on February 25th. Bryan spent every night for the next 5 days updating routers while I handled the customer...

Irrigation ditch work

by up10ad | Sun Apr 19, 2009 | All (Home), Homestead | 0 Comments

Spent a few days building an irrigation diversion box and began the installation yesterday. Had to break out the side of the concrete V-ditch to make a connection to the new diversion box. I'll post some 'after' pics in a few days, but this is one taken during the...

The bridge at Confluence Park

by up10ad | Thu Oct 14, 2010 | All (Home), Travel | 0 Comments

My daily walk/run takes me through Confluence Park just a few miles from home. This swaying bridge is in the wooded section and crosses over the Uncompahgre River, just about where it joins the Gunnison River. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbQJt3-M0E0 [mappress...

Bonfire for Jeff’s birthday

by up10ad | Wed Oct 1, 2008 | All (Home), Photography | 0 Comments

Sandi and I invited Jeff and Leta for dinner for his birthday and lit up a huge pile of brush and other stuff we had gathered from around the property over the summer. It was quite a display! I snapped this great silhouette of Jeff while he was tending the fire....

We're starting to visit the Montrose Rod & Gun Club indoor (and outdoor) range more regularly. Sandi is a natural with her Glock and Combat Commander.

Sandi is the Pied Piper

Sandi and the geese get along great. They sit in her lap and peck lightly at her rings and bracelet as she pets them. After a bit they quiet down and just relax and poop on her LOL.

Thanksgiving, a time for family

by up10ad | Sun Nov 30, 2008 | All (Home), Lifestyle | 0 Comments

This holiday season has started. The weather here in Delta is just about perfect for fall, crisp with a chill that reminds you of what is on the way. I'm going into this season with anticipation of Christmas without hospitals, in good health. I am so grateful to...

Getting settled in

Believe it or not, we are still unpacking stuff. I worked all day in the garage today and didn't make a dent. A few weeks ago I did get my weather station installed and it is operating with almost all features enabled. I still have to hang the lightning detector,...

Mid-June update

As I mentioned, tomorrow I go in for my 2nd surgery. I'm looking forward to it and getting my intestines back to normal. The worst part is having to stay in the hospital bed for 7 days. We are in the middle of our first hay cutting this year, don't know if we will...

Summer ’05

Summer in Meeker is a short-lived thing, and this year it was very comfortable. Sandi and I took several trips to see Joe and Anita in Missouri, even spent a lot of time looking at property to purchase. In the end, nothing came of it as there isn't much in the way...
