The past days have been spent finalizing the errands that brought me to Longmont to begin with, the largest of which was getting the ol’ Datsun repaired so Timmy had a vehicle to wreck drive for the summer. The Datsun was finally completed on Friday, just a single day before...
Way back in February while boondocking outside of Ajo, Arizona Kerri and I ate dinner at the 100 Estrella Restaurant (pretty much the only restaurant in Ajo worthy of more than a single star). There, along with our food, she ordered a “Nitro” Milk Stout from the bar which went...
There was a time when I would mow a lawn each week, grab my $7 payment and ride my BMX bike to the nearest arcade and blow every last hard earned quarter on Galaga or Space Invaders. Over the years, my tastes developed to include pinball. In my late teens...
Still Cellars is a distillery housed in an off-beat industrial area of Longmont, Colorado. Longmont is not even a very hip place, so when suggested to me by a blog reader(thank you Janel!) I took advantage to setup an evening out at Still Cellars. Considering how much Kerri enjoys her...

Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument preserves the cone shaped rock formations that are the products of volcanic eruptions that occurred 6 to 7 million years ago, and marks my 65th National Park visited.
