A little time lapse of organizing my new classroom (I moved from the main building to a mobile). I'm excited to get out of the hustle of the hallways, have two whole walls of windows and natural light, and when the temps are cooler and appropriate, opening the screened windows and enjoying the fresh air! Here's to the 2024-2025 school year!

Removing a small wasp nest from my classroom window. WD-40 or soapy water (dish detergent) easily, quickly, safely, and humanely kills insects. Easy peasy.

Highlights from my day touring the BMW Motorcycle Club of Colorado's 100,000' Ride. When one adds the elevations of all the passes the ride covers, it equals greater than 100,000' (thus the name of the annual ride). This was the first time I've seen the Victor - Cripple Creek gold mine. Wowzers, it's BIG! Link to this year's route: www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1Ihs8t0TsxnbxcNg9CQYFKNWvHyO...

This Saturday, August 3, 2024 BMW motorcycle enthusiasts from around the country will travel to Colorado to participate in the BMWMCC’s 100,000’ Ride.

At the speed limit it takes 10 hours and 32 minutes, and when all the eleva...

July 27, 2024. Highlights from my ride of the 2024 Hogback Twister Challenge sponsored by the Hogback Distillery in Boulder, Colorado. The distillery and the ride are named for the Dakota Hogback geological feature that runs the eastern boundary of the Rockies. Not including my ride from my home to the start (Aurora to Boulder and back), the Twister Challenge includes nine major Front Range can...

I thought my 5 gallon red Cherry Neocaridina shrimp aquarium would be the first to produce fry, but the 2.5 gallon yellow Neo tank takes first place! The newly hatched fry are literally microscopic, and to properly see them I would need to switch to microscope videography (I'll try this once I have an overstock of fry), but this single tiny fry just barely caught my attention (I was inspecting ...

Highlights from my attendance at the BMW Motorcycle Club of Colorado's Top of the Rockies (TOR) Rally in Paonia, Colorado from Thursday, July 19, 2024 through Sunday, July 21, 2024. I rode home Saturday evening to avoid the Sunday mountain highways turned parking lots as all us weekenders try to converge on Denver at the same time. Like prior years that I've attended the BMWMCC TOR, it was amaz...

Here's a little video of the arrival of the Caridina Crystal Red Shrimp (CRS). They're all (11 of them) tiny babies right now. They'll get to be 2x the size they are here. I also took a little video of my red "cherry" and yellow "golden back" Neocaridina shrimp tanks, my Mexican dwarf crayfish tank, and the 30 gal tetra aquarium. Enjoy five minutes of "indoor dry freshwater snorkeling" Zen (kee...

Fellow BMW Moto Club of Colorado member and friend Alberto C and I took a mellow ride up Mt. Blue Sky for America's birthday, July 4th! Alberto avoided colliding with a tiny Bambi fawn at treeline, and we enjoyed the company of some mountain goats at the summit of Mt. Blue Sky. It was a beautiful, perfect day!

A video of my hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. I parked in Estes Park, rode the shuttle to the RMNP Park & Ride, took the Bear Lake Bus to the Bear Lake Trailhead, and then I hiked the Flattop Mountain trail to Odessa Lake, Fern Lake, Fern Falls, and the Fern Lake trailhead. I caught the last bus from the Fern Lake trailhead back to the Park & Ride, and then the shuttle back to Estes. I am...

A barely edited (quick grabs of several cuts) video of some Colorado Greenback Cutthroat Trout that I encountered as I crossed over the bridge at the outlet to Fern Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. As I videoed myself crossing the bridge, about half-way across I realized, oh wow, there's dozens of trout darting around below me! I filmed the fish that were close to the bridge, trying to avo...
