Afternoon Ganbg

 

Just back-in from the morning retirement run.

 

Me im buzzed a tad, and crawling on top of the RV, wife is making a Tamale run up in 49er country.

Mondo sized cashews are the order of the day, as well as apple pie, "Pasties" "Beef" will be dinner.

 

Ok, hot date w/Coment x2clorine version, need to finish that damm roof, preparing myself to smell like fresh laundered linen.

Maybe one more shot of the Goose......:emotion-46:

I know Oakland a bit.

My last 6Mo in the navy was @ Alameda, even went out and got a job @ Gerber as security guard, fun times.

That was in the 70s.

Met a guy last week checking out some Scalas, over priced junk. ran from that deal.......

Breakfast with 16 other old geezers this morning.....mostly high school chums.  Lot of lies told.

 

Haven't seen Karl the water bug in a day now.  Laying low I guess.

 

It's Friday worker bees.

 

Suppose to see the sun after two weeks of rain.  Yard work on the agenda:wacko:

Carla the water bug, huh? Almost sounds like a song title.

 

Jeff, you will enjoy our central mountains. That's a great drive. We did it last month on our way to Durango and the Mesa Verde. Enjoy.

 

Not a lot to report. Good jam session with guitar bud yesterday afternoon. Yard work today and HT movie tonight. Happy Friday guys.

Thanks. Looking forward to it.

 

Looking for advice on things that are "must see" along our route.

Jeff, that's a lot to take in on one road trip but I know you'll enjoy it. Hard to say what are 'must sees' since there is so much stunning beauty in Colorado and along that route,  but personally I/we love the collegiate peaks along 285, Estes Park (many elk), and Winter Park. Also, since you are going through Silverthorne, you may want to drive to Breckenridge and Keystone, which are just west of there.  I would also take the time to see if the road up Mount Evans is still open ...I think I heard on the news that it is already closed for the season. That happens out here for various reasons, but mostly it's the weather at high elevation.

 

Will give this some more thought and get back if I get any brainstorms.......Chuck

Thanks, Chuck!  We are going to all those spots, except Breckenridge.  We will miss it by only a matter of a handful of miles.  Do you think it would be a mistake to pass it up? 

 

We planned to drive up Mt. Evans.  I hope it's not already closed.

Jeff, if you are going to Keystone, that's good enough. They have a gondola which will take you to a summit even if you are not skiing. I'd google it to make sure it's operational now since it's a bit early for ski season (or just call the resort at Keystone and ask). Stunning views. I am almost sure that the road up Mt Evans is closed per a local newscast a few weeks ago, but there's a website for Mt Evans which will confirm or not. If it is closed for the season, you could use the time to hit both Breck and Keystone. They are just a few miles apart.

 

Have fun!

Happy Friday :emotion-21:

 

Wife hit the highway for apple hill, all things apple.

Ask her to a "Reasonable" priced day.

 

Me, another exciting day on the roof of the RV:emotion-21:

Caulking, priming for the new rubber roof, hey, keeps me at home and out of trouble.

 

Ready to shoot the Squeeky Chit sounding stock RV stereo.......roof first, then work my way down:wink:
