Saturday, March 1st 2008 will go down as the warmest day in history for the Denver/Boulder area, but the weather that followed less than 24 hours later was downright cruel…. unfair… and annoying!
This time of the year, it’s not uncommon for us to have a streak of really warm days (mid 60’s), followed by a little snow, but when I woke up to 6 inches of snow after yesterday’s beautiful weather… it was a bit upsetting. That’s Colorado for you!
With the warm weather, we were able to get outside and enjoy the day in just shorts and t-shirts and be perfectly comfortable. We haven’t been able to do that since early November I think. So, we took advantage and took the dogs for a long walk and washed Leslie’s Jeep.
Later that night we enjoyed several Margaritas and watched a couple classic movies, one of which was a childhood favorite of mine that I haven’t seen in many years…. Disney’s “The Black Hole”.
For some reason, I remember this movie being a bit “darker”, and the evil robot Maximillian scared me a lot more back in those days. Movie making has come along way since 1979, and I found myself giggling at the “special effects” several times, but overall it’s still a classic, and definitely one to own.
It had been somewhat of a long week, so a quiet night at home on a Saturday was welcomed.
My cousin Bruce had been in town for 2 back to back days to go skiing. We hit up Breckenridge on the first day and Vail the 2nd. It was great hanging out with the cuz during our yearly ski adventure. Actually, he skied and I snowboarded, but you get the point.
(Early morning drive to the airport)Last weekend was an interesting one as well. We checked out a nearby motocross track and did a little “filming” of the riders.
Being around the bikes reminded me of my “good ole days” racing stock cars back in Indianapolis.
The smell of burning high octane fuel and the screaming motors took me back, gave me a big smile.
The following day we took the dogs for a hike at nearby open space, but the trails were extremely muddy due to all of the snowmelt we have had lately.
It was a brief hike (because of the muddy conditions) but it was nice to be out and the dogs appreciated the exercise. Nanook got a little spooked by some of the horses we passed on the trails. It’s not too often he encounters another animal larger than him. 
Afterwards, we headed over to the south side of town to visit with a buddy and check out his House Flip Project. The house looked amazing and was a huge improvement of the state the house was in when he and another friend purchased it.
That’s all for this post.
