    Camping with 2.5, 6, 7 yr old kids is........freaking crazy...I just got a chance to sit down. My dog is worn out too. They must have walked her a zillion miles. Too tired to post pics. I finished off diner with smores. A lot. I now realize they won't sleep for hours. Lucky me......

    I won't mention diaper changes...

    It was, FYI...the ice pics were from my Sub Zero cooler. Put it in the back of my truck Friday night. Didn't pre-freeze cooler...but as you can see the ice I put in melded to my blue ice packs. Pic taken after I got back. This is a good example why I don't give a rat's behind about what "roto-molded" hi end cooler is better. I totally ignore reviews. I used pre- frozen blue ice pacs and one $1 bag of ice from Save-A-Lot. I had at least 2 to 3 days left keeping my food preserved.

    Just took this pic. I have video of Manny hiking up Dakota "Hill" @ 11K ft with my grand daughters. Only 150 yards up from camp site but almost 490ft gain in altitude. Breaking his a** in early. Manny gets to sleep in. I'm up in 6 hours. Great..............

    Don't remember all the words to what I think was a Visa card commercial, but it ends in: "priceless". You will never lose memories of a great trip like that Matt !

    Went up to my friends property above Central City. Took the Sub Zero cooler. Removed the casters. The non skid feet are the same as Yeti's. (IE= very good). I re-used a large clump of ice left over from last weekend. Around 1 o'clock we got hit with a 25 minute thunder /hail storm. It was crazy. We all hunkered in my friends canopy. We couldn't hear each other talk. Looked like it snowed. Got the kids wool blankets to keep warm. Got back into Denver. 90 degrees.o_O

    I almost forgot...Turned over 79K miles today. Not bad for a 10 year old Tundra.

    Pretty much everything I've added came off Craig's List except for the OME coilovers/rear shocks and the wheels from ToyTec by way of Sean, tires from Big O. It is sick..as in fracked up bumper, fender, headlight, and a few other smaller pieces. Hope to get all that squared away soon.

    Yeah. I've been mulling some serious changes though. I already have a replacement OEM "sport" bumper I got off Craig's List, but now "Toy"ing with the thought again of going with aftermarket winch bumper. $$$$:(

    I figured now is a good time to make any changes. Definitely a good excuse to change headlights too since drivers side head light brackets are fracked up too.

    Zach can turn that burnt field into potato gold pretty quick. My $ tree won't even make good smoking chips.

    It only requires $5,000-7,000 per acre to potentially make $9,100. Plus a few million dollars worth of equipment.

    Going to be posting some awesome pics shortly why I love CO. Why I'm breaking in my grandkids to this wonderful state. No offense, I'm a Texan and love AK. Really love AK. 2 1/2 times larger than Texas by the way and not flat like TX. CO definitely not flat. No offense...But I choose to live here.....in CO.

    Unfortunately I don't think we have enough consistently high humidity to grow em here Matt. The only place that might come even remotely close is Rocky Ford, and melons seem to be the winning ticket there.

    We can grow damn near anything here, hell I have a customer that owns a vineyard here! but I don't think mangos are possible.

    Rocky Ford melons just started to appear in our local King Soup. Cantaloupes to die for. Well..almost. R Ford produces the best melons anywhere IMHO and a few million others.
