First Snow (2016-2017 Winter Season)

November 17, 2016 by Alan Leave a Comment

It’s probably not going to amount to much, but we do have our first snow of the new 2016-2017 winter season!:

Light snow on backyard

A photo not good enough? How about a quick video? ๐Ÿ™‚

And…you have to admit that with snow…well…it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…so you can listen here for the best Christmas music on the planet (year-round):

If you are out in it, please drive carefully…let’s not let the first snow of the season mean you are in your first crash of the season…

Strasburg Home Town Days (2016) โ€“ Part 2

August 13, 2016 by Alan Leave a Comment

Colorado Vintage BaseballHi everyone, I’m back! ๐Ÿ™‚

We did end up doing a little yard sale shopping…although it was kind of late in the day for it. That was followed by the Chili Contest (sponsored by 4 Rivers Equipment) and an entertaining High Plains Music Ensemble concert (sponsored by Strasburg Veterinary Clinic and IREA). Michelle and Augie taste-tested the six entries and made their votes as I Facebook Live broadcasted most of the concert, which you can watch here:

We didn’t stop there…heading over to watch some Colorado Vintage Baseball (sponsored by the Friends of Strasburg Metro Parks and Rec):Continue Reading

Braving a Storm #tentlife

July 30, 2016 by Alan Leave a Comment

Augie and dad in the tentOkay, it wasn’t much of a storm. ๐Ÿ™‚

But, Augie and I did our normal Friday night activity of sleeping in the tent last night, and although it was predicted in WeatherBug for midnight, it came through 10:30ish. Here are a few tweets during it…sneaking them out before waking up the little guy, heading to breakfast, and getting haircuts.

Good morning Strasburg and towns nearby! It’s a beautiful, high plains morning…may it be an awesome weekend for you!Continue Reading

My First (Tornado)

July 3, 2016 by Alan Leave a Comment

Excitement here on Basil Street in Strasburg as we saw a tornado from our next door neighbor’s porch. It was the first sighting for my wife, eight year-old son, and me. First, a picture:

Tornado visible over roof top

Second, a video:

I did not hear of any injuries and am not sure it actually was more than a funnel cloud. We love Strasburg, but with every place you’ve got to take the bad with the good…

Hail Equals New Friends

May 8, 2016 by Alan 2 Comments

Quite the hail storm yesterday…

Backyard hail

…means we got to meet Brian from CJ Restoration today! ๐Ÿ™‚

Selfie with Brian from CJ Restoration

We called Brian because someone in a local Facebook group was so impressed with him…and we can see why. He was upfront about what the process would be, found a bunch of damage I would have missed (and he only did an initial cursory look), and already has started the process with our insurance company on a good foot.

Although CJ Restoration can be called at (303) 690-9253 (squinting for the selfie I couldn’t see Brian’s left hand was covering the final “3”), we recommend you call him directly at (720) 486-3540. We’ll do a more formal review of CJ Restoration after they do all our repairs (they are a general contractor, so they can do everything…not just our roof)…but for now, thanks to Brian, they get a Strasburg Rocks! “We Recommend.”

On Second Thought, Maybe We Won’t Be Taking the Dogs for a Walk…
