Today, while lounging in the shade of the van’s awning, I made a new friend; a tiny butterfly that visited with my a few times over the afternoon. I decided to name him Jorge. He was quite persistent at hanging out with me. He sat here on my fist for...
Well… that’s it. Saturday was the final full day in Colorado. I am packed and ready to go with all the final todo’s completed. I spent the first half of this month using (abusing?) King Sooper’s double fuel points promotion. Between Imelda and I, we worked up over 600 fuel...
Last night was my final time being able to play poker at the Moose Lodge before my impending departure on August 18th, and it was a hoot. I took the top-spot again… winning another $125 which will pay for a few more regular maintenance items on the van before I...
