So I decided recently to take a quick off-trail outing in the national forest near Lyons, CO. It was just a short outing (7 miles) to get out in the woods and do complete some of the classwork for BushClass Beginner over on www.bushcraftusa.com.
Part of the reason for the choice of day was so that I didn't have to watch the Ravens vs. Broncos game. I thought that the game started at 10:00 AM and went until 2:00 PM. Of course, I was wrong. I got back before halftime.
I got up to the trailhead at about 9 AM and set out. The plan was to follow an established trail for about half of a mile...

So for a while now we have been promising people that we would upload the photos from our trip to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole.

So expect more photos like this, but don’t expect them too soon.

She’s a rare lady who likes to spend her days blasting the radio with the sunroof open, taking hairpin turns in the mountains, and sitting for eye candy on Pearl Street.
Today Matt and I took her down to Colorado Springs to see my parents. ...

Ever since we moved into our townhouse here in Lafayette, we have had a problem with our garage door. It started as a simple nuisance of not being able to close the garage door if the sun was shining in. My theory was that the sun was hitting the lens from the garage door sensor, causing the beam to be interrupted. If the sensors were in the shade, then no problem. As Megan put it, its "just a vampire garage." I'm sure it didn't help that, when the house was built, they installed the cheapest garage door possible.
I looked around online and people suggested that I use some pipe insulation...

So, I (matt) really try my best to make our lives enjoyable. One way in which I accomplish this is to keep Megan laughing. Sometimes, the easiest way to accomplish that is to look like an idiot.
Go here if you want to see me looking like an idiot. :)
