Summer is over



It's getting cold here and it could snow tonite and this weekend. That's OK with me! Here are a few pics from my patio. I've seen some spectacular sunsets already. You can see Pike's Peak to the South - we hiked that over Labor Day weekend. Stayed at Barr Camp on the way up and had some great food. They served pasta for dinner and some amazing pancakes in the morning. YUM! 14 miles up with an elevation gain of 7,500 feet. Took the cog rail down. Also hiked Mt Missouri a while ago. Tried to hike Mt Evans, which you can see as well, but weather rolled in and we had to abandon the hike.
Time for a housewarming party!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!

GOt internet and DISH installed. I resisted for a while but realized I couldn't live without my connection to the outside world. The installation was an ordeal, one which is best told over a tall, cold adult beverage. I'd be happy to share - let me know. I have a feeling I'm writing this for me now as it's been so long since I've updated the site. The new pad is looking good - I'm ready to host a party or two. Maybe start next weekend? Also ready for ski season to start. Could be just a few weeks before I step in to the Rossi's and rip it down the rock strewn slopes. I hope we get a lot of snow this season. I'll post pics of the new pad soon. By the way, casa de zig is now open for those of you who would like to visit Denver, etc.
