Well, goodbye to sleeping in and staying out on a whim... the child hath arrived. So tiny, 10 weeks today.
1996? Good times. Wish I could still have a few minutes with dad. This is me, Cleveland, winter 1996... 30 fkin years ago. He was so happy I shoveled before he got home. 😂 More in alt text if you feel like more story.
I had the most recharging week in the wilderness. Absolutely needed that. No phone, no internet, just the mountains and a beautiful lake to float. (Serious lack of photos due to not carrying a phone)
See ya Friday I am off to a place with no connection of any kind. If I am not back Friday I either quit my job and went walk about or .... bear.
Picked the new kid today. The one to the left watching his brother eat grass. Please excuse the less than ideal pen, they were evacuated from the Aspen fire.
Threw on Dead and Co, just to see Bobby and make me feel better. Dude was magic.
Tonight I had dinner with friends at Dante Cleveland. Had the privilege to meet Dante Boccuzzi and he signed a copy of his cookbook. Great pre fixe. He is sure to get a star in January IMO. Real down to earth guy and fantastic food. Of course we talked fish skin technique... lol I am a nerd.
These seats were good. Had to much fun to take pics, now waiting for fireworks.
Watched a bird band stream and couldn't help but laugh a little at this shot. Not hating at all, really like Trevors playing but it crossed my mind and couldn't unsee it.
9 years and father's day weekend still stings a bit. Part of me hopes it does forever. Miss ya all the time dad. Take care of Max til I get there.
Critter under patio 1 - Marty 1 at the half. 2 blocks sank suddenly, looks like a critter tunnel/den (nothing in it). Dug up the bricks and filled it in with pea gravel. Compacted paver sand again and reset. Now just gotta do the joints. Resetting a non edge area kinda sucks.
Marty summer concert series... weekend 2. Ladies and gents I am cultured, and seeing the orchestra. With someone named Trey. Smells funny here for an orchestra.
Flank steak fajitas with a cold beer some cilantro rice and a couple a 💨
