FOH: A Week In Pictures.

[FatherOfPugs]

Gonna be a lot of this for a couple weeks! Love coming to the beach for vacation! My little man really loved it today.

Weather getting hotter here but new patio furniture makes for a great spot for my weekend handicapping.  Can't (or don't want to) go anywhere so might as well make home more comfortable.

For Father's Day got the sign for my Man Cave and the T-shirt from my Daughter and Son-in-Law - Nice!

Wife had this picture on her Dropbox.  Not sure when I smoked this.

Nice! I scored a couple of Compay Salomones a while back. Huge fan of his. My father in law knew him pretty well, he used to eat at my FILs restaurant when in Dominican Republic. Missed that one by a few decades for sure!

Montecristo No. 1 and me at the audiophile cigar lounge. Next time, I'll use pomade when I do Kimfession Virtual Herf Review in the future.

Annual salmon fishing trip with my buds to Door county WI. I was the lucky one that got to pull in these beauties.

Note the FOH lucky fishing shirt. That’s the real key to catching big fish.

Colorado has 53 mountains above 14,000 feet known as the '14ers'.  One of these, Mount Evans, is paved all the way to the top.  This year the road is closed to vehicles so I decided to ride my bike to the top -- along with a few hundred other cyclists.

I started at Echo Lake, elevation 10,600 feet.

 

Here's a view of Echo Lake further up the road, above treeline:

 

I saw lots of widlife on the ride.  Here's a marmot keeping tabs on me

This is Summit Lake, which is a damn lie.  The summit is 5 more miles up the road.

 

I saw tons of mountain goats

 

 

A few bighorn sheep

 

At the top, elevation 14,265 feet

There was a lot of this, this week.

This was pretty cool, watched a baby sea turtle go from nest to water.

And of course the night caps:

First beer at a pub for almost 4 months due to lock-down on Friday. Just a wonderful simple experience took a Siglo 2 and cannot even remember how it smoked.

Nice, Ive been up there a few times myself but never on a bicycle.  One of my favorite places in the state.

Beautiful pics here.  Looks like quite the ride and great to see so much wildlife out there! I'm sure all the animals are loving that road being closed to motorists.

As always, awesome photos and adventures!

C Kim - love to hear about the Zep audio list

We used to go up there a lot in the Summer when it got hot in Denver. It's beautiful, full of wildlife and a great place to spend a day.

Awesome for when the Aspens turn gold too!

Started the kitchen renovation today. 

Dismantling has gone well. Nearly everything came out without being damaged. Only one break in the granite (clean break, so it can be glued back without a seam) and the carcass took some damaged (sacrificed to preserve the granite).

Everything gone now. Bye-bye old kitchen! You have served us well for 25 years.

@Fuzz good luck with the project! Never easy but its always fun starting with a clean slate.  Hopefully it all works out for you and no surprises arise.

Thanks! By the end of the week, all the cabinets and appliances will be installed. The stone bench tops and splash backs will be measured on Fri or Mon, then another 1-2 weeks they will go in.

Pretty quick turnaround there! Always nice to get a project like that done so fast. Albeit, if you have people who know what there doing on the job, it goes smoothly (for the most part).

I can't walk up a hill past 12,000 without wanting to faint.
