I hit things for a living. A musician, woodworker, and blogger living in the Centennial State with my wife, two dogs, and few friends. I have no qualifications to speak, or write, about anything, and no degrees to list.

Well, we got to play two songs for the La Vida Festival at Cheyenne Mountain Resort last night before a gusher of a storm moved in and wrecked the entire festival. Sadly, that meant we didn't get to check out The Iguanas from NOLA, who were headlining. What a disaster!

Now me and my mate were back at the shack
We had Spike Jones on the box
She said, "I can't take the way he sings
But I love to hear him talk"

What we'd like vs. what we have...
Who wouldn't take a brand-new Oyster over a 50 year-old Hobie, right?
Someday, maybe, we'll get a blue-water cruiser that we can do remote work from, and sail away to retirement.
Dream big, even if you have to start small.

Went for a short sail last night. Short due to the lack of any consistent wind. Struggled to make it back to the dock. Today is supposed to be better, but...

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

Bishop Castle, known to most Coloradans and many visitors to our state, is under threat from wildfires. And on my side of the mountains, air quality has been listed as unsafe, with recommendations to stay indoors or relocate temporarily if smoke is making you feel ill.

Upon waking to a smoke-filled sky that made me feel like our entire nation is on fire, I immediately opened my podcast app to hear Clay Jenkinson read the Declaration of Independence on this, our 250th anniversary. I feel mournful, rather than celebratory, like we are only going through the motions.

My friend and neighbor, a long-time music DJ for two local public radio stations, has found peace and an end to suffering. So blessed to have known him. We shared multiple interests, and he was always ready to offer a cognac when I visited. So long, Slim Wolfe. Miss ya, buddy!

When we got this house "dried-in," plumbing, electrical final inspections, insulation installed, we couldn't wait to move in. We were already sleeping in it and using the rental for cooking and cleaning. We agreed that it was worth the extra work, moving everything multiple times. And it has been!

Heading to Colorado Springs next weekend for another stellar night at Stargazers. Then, Buena Vista on May 9 at The Lariat. Lots more coming up this summer, including the 250th Independence Day celebration in Salida, and the Strawberry Festival in Glenwood Springs. Stay tuned for more details.

Rigged new sheets and halyards this morning. It was a beautiful spring morning, with light breezes and cool temps.
