Some recap of the last few months...

Here is some random pics from over the last few months. I've been neglecting to post anything for a while now and wanted to sort of get caught up and kick off this new blog. My plan is to keep this one fairly active but change the focus a bit from the old blog.

To start off here is an IPA at the Breckenridge Brewery in Breckenridge. It was a Lucky U IPA and was standard fare for brew pubs.

This one around Breckenridge is sort of cool. Angie snapped it while we were driving and it has a cool swooshy look to it. Plus it's a gold mine...I didn't know they still had active gold mines. This place looks like it's up and running.

This has probably been our #1 hike location this year. We've been all over the place but I think the place we wind up the most is Mt Falcon. Right before you get started there is a hitching post...at least I call it that. To me it says enough about the place that you can safely assume how the rest of your hike might turn out scenery wise. We've done long hikes here, shorter hikes, and my favorite hike here (the Parmalee trail) a ton of times. It's a go to spot for sure.

Angie took a pic of a little bird going to town on this plant....I guess he might be a woodpecker but that aint wood. However he sure was pecking the hell out of it

Here is a random picture of Ted Nugent in the late 70's- early 80's for no significant reason at all....

Crested Butte is a really cool area. We went to see the wildflowers but I'd like to go back and spend a couple few days just kicking about the town. The drive up was amazing as well....I like Crested Butte!

Angie took a zillion pictures of  flowers. I like this one because it reminds me of a jesters crown...and that is just hysterical for a flower.

Look at me...I'm a flower and I'm not joking!

I also got in a few nitro pours as well as a real ale via an old school beer engine.....hahaha suckers!  :)

Lancer IPA at Pints

An amazing nitro pour Stout at Dry Dock.

Hanging out on my balcony - random Friday evening.

This year my buddy Shaun was responsible for shining the spotlight on matcha. Me being me you know I had to go a little crazy with it. :) This is probably the most fun I've had with it using 80% whole milk, 20% half and half, steamed together with the matcha, a spoon of big foam, and then dusted on top with 100% cacao. Not a drink for whimps....only those that go there should go here...

Sunshine.. from the cup straight to your brain. ;)

A cool experince at the Novo at the Museum. This is a lever pull that was presenting me with a shot I've had before. It was a super sensory memory at fist taste and had an overwhelming statement to make about itself..it was simply and LOUDLY... "Red".

I saw a car crash..

Managed to somehow get a shot of espresso planets on my cheapo camera...

One day I'll get a real camera.....

Ate a few breakfasts in small mountain towns like this Huevos Rancheros in Buena Vista.

Found a halfway decent cup of coffee in Leadville...

Plug for you Provin' Grounds...I think you owe me a latte and a pastry next time I'm in town. ;)

Chilled out with Angie on dozens of places a lot like this...

 

And probably walked a few thousand  miles of stuff like this...

Wash rinse and repeat the above a few times and that is pretty much what the last few months have been about. Not too shabby really and I figure that brings things up to speed for now.
