We are starting our day at Alabama Jubilee in Decatur. Things are just getting started. We hear that the balloon race has been cancelled so far because of the lack of wind. Looks like they will just did tethered rides. We hope to be able to go up. Our first time at a balloon fest.
Sealing things up
I was checking out the awnings today and found the sealant over the doorway awning was cracked and in need of replacement. I got my handy razor blade tool out and began the job of removing all the cracked sealant. Once removed, I found that there were a ton of leaves wedged in there. It …
Transformation
Well, after about eight months of growing my beard, it was time for a change. One thing about having a beard, when you are ready to shave, you can have fun with it. I got out my handy little vacuum for my make-shift Flowbee and went to town. One thing is for sure, I sure do …
Dakota Ridge RV Park, Golden CO
We came to Dakota Ridge after spending a month at a couple of State Parks around the Denver area. I had to be close to the Louisville/Boulder area as I would have to go into the office I manage on a daily basis to complete a project. We couldn’t be too remote, because I had …
Dinosaur Ridge
We’ve driven by it several times, but today was the day we decided to see what Dinosaur Ridge was all about. Since it is only a couple of miles from Dakota Ridge RV Park, we decided to bike it. Oh my goodness, you find out quickly just how out of shape you are while pedaling …
National Parks, Frozen Dead Guys, and Alternators
What an eventful day. This is going to be our last weekend in Colorado for quite some time and we wanted to make sure we did some more sightseeing, but where to go? We finally decided on going back to the Rocky Mountain National Park since it was free National Park weekend. The last time we …
Headlight Restoration
The headlights on the Alfa were so filmy that I really didn’t have good night time visibility. I had never tried any of those headlight restoration products, but I thought I’d give it a shot. I chose Meguiar’s for heavy duty jobs. Not that I’m endorsing the product, I just happened to try it and …
Gotta Remove Those Graphics
I don’t know why most all RVs have such goofy graphics, but I knew shortly after we got our Alfa, that I wanted them removed. Last September, when we were still living in our rental house in FL, I started the daunting task. I thought that I’d use a pressure washer and soon found out that …
Biking Golden
Today we decided to go on a little bike ride that ended up being almost 30 miles from about 9a.m. to 5p.m. We left Dakota Ridge RV Park in Golden toward downtown Golden. It was such a beautiful spring day, so we kept riding. We made a stop at Golden’s Visitor’s Center. What a nice …
Weekend of Hiking
We know that we’ve come to Colorado during the coldest time of the year, but for the last couple of weekends we were itching to go hiking with the dogs. It didn’t work out because it was either too cold or too windy. This weekend was our chance with temps in the 60’s and practically …
