Work trio in NYC…good times. Tour of NYSE tomorrow and dinner on Wall Street!


I took these guys to their first vet visit this week. This was not a wise thing to do solo as it was mostly chaos.

Despite it hitting in the 100s for a little while now, the pool has been still too cold to comfortably get in. That changed this weekend as we hit 109 yesterday.
Berlin seems to love the sun and heat, along with regular dips into his favorite spot.
Hard to believe 20 years have passed. With a few other options in mind, we settled om Cancun. This such a beaitiful place. With the direct flight from Phoenix I am convinced we should come here more frequently.

Chad and Bailey joined us on Friday to spend time with us among the festivities. We are staying at the Marriott all inclusive which is both wonderful and dangerous.
So far it’s been incredibly humid but the pool does help. So far no particular plans just resting and lots of naps.

And some good eats.


We get our photos taken each year and each year the people we employ to do this task seem to get worse and worse.

After 20 years, Owen has returned to tucson. He was in our wedding where we celebrate our 20 year anniversary next month. He brought his girlfriend Kendall and we had plenty of funsies. This photo was taken at our friends house where we went to listen to some live music.

Had a good group of guys over this morning for a new study group where we are reading through Christopher Watkins book Biblical Critical Theory.

We went camping last weekend down to the usual place in Elgin. The new travel trailer is an enormous upgrade over a pop-up camper. Sadly, we put so much time and effort into the pop-up camper and now have no use for it. Hopefully we can find a good home.
The trailer has a nice bathroom which makes most of the difference and that includes a comfortable shower. Large water tanks make shower time and kitchen sink time very nice. The unit has solar on the roof but it wasn’t charging during the day and I couldn’t figure out why not. Fortunately the back of the truck has a 400 watt plug that I can use as a generator so running out of electricity was not an issue.
I am hopeful we will get to use this a lot more in the near future.

Despite concerns, the Tacoma polls the trailer comfortably. I had an anti-sway bar installed and upgraded the trailer hitch. That along with brake control for the trailer tires installed in the cab of the truck.

Yesterday was Valentine’s and probably one of the best we’ve had now in decades. Yun put together a Swiss style meal (raclette) which was phenomenal. We had cuts of really good beef, vegetables, and a wide array of fancy cheeses.

Very exciting times. This is a nice upgrade from popup camping. Pulls real good with the truck.
