Colorado adventures
Denver's fake winter saw more than 100 days with temperatures above 50, 60, or 70 degrees. We managed to squeeze in one ski trip in Steamboat in March, my first time skiing in nearly 20 years.
It was a blast! I was shocked by how quickly my muscle memory picked it up. Terrified I'd be slowly crawling the slopes all day, instead I was able to keep up with our experienced skier friends. All thanks to my girlfriend for being a great instructor.
Now that it's late April, I went south for the first camping trip of the year. I poked around Google Earth and found a great backcountry spot on a ridge overlooking the town of Woodland Park with a perfectly straight-on view of Pikes Peak in all its glory.
My friend Will brought his two dogs, Khaleesi and Summit, and his rad home-on-wheels. He's been living and working on the road full time for three years now.
We enjoyed warm sunny days. My legs turned tomato red with a sunburn. Temps then dropped into the 30s at night, just high enough for some great sleep in the trucks. There's nothing quite like an escape from the city into the Rocky Mountain Front Range. It made me miss summer 2024, living in my Tacoma camper.
Job search
A quick summary...
I moved to Colorado in June 2025.
Started a business, and spent the summer and fall getting it off the ground.
Helped some happy customers.
Learned a lesson that finding clients is tougher than expected.
Began a job search a few months ago.
Picked up a "job search job" that I'm enjoying now.
We will find the right fit, I believe it!
What I'm reading
I just finished The Stand (uncut edition), Stephen King's fan-favorite masterpiece. I read this back in 2017, on my first-ever cross country USA road trip. The novel takes place in Texas and New England, before focusing on the West, primarily in Nevada and Colorado.
I'd forgotten most of the plot, and was just as surprised reading this again eight years later, with the story's wild combination of thrills, laughs, horrors and joys. Good vs Evil, King style.
