New fire pit!
Living in the middle of civilization, we can’t really have our fires in a stone ring. Today I welded up this fire ring. The sides are 1/8″ x 8″ plate, and the bottom is 3/16″ plate. I made the legs from 2″ OD pipe with 3″ pipe caps welded upside down on the bottom. There are a couple of air/drain holes I punched in the bottom with my plasma cutter. The next project is a grilling grate made from rebar.

2011 Summer Garden
We’ve been slowly working at getting our garden ready for the summer, but today we went full force and put our seeds in the ground.
We purchased 2 tomato and 2 pepper starters, but everything else we are going to sow in the ground. It is definitely a late start, but we’re hopeful there will be a decent yield this year.
Oscar was a big help!
He’s feeling really good and enjoyed a hike and lots of outdoor time today.

Brewing Beer!
Today we decided to start brewing beer again. I had brewed a lot in college, but my stuff has been sitting in my Maine cabin ever since. Last week when we were there for my mom’s graduation, we brought back everything we could check on the plane. We bought the stuff I was missing at the local brewer supply.
The first batch is an IPA, using a recipe the brew supply recommended. I’m already planning to build my own equipment so I can brew from all grains, rather than using the malt syrup.

Backpacking in Canyonlands!
For spring break (not mine!), I joined some co-workers for a 3 day backpacking trip to Canyonlands National Park. We hiked from Cathedral Butte to Squaw Flat, and camped at Salt Creek 1 (SC2), and in the open area north of the Angel Arch trail. The last night we should have stayed in Lost Canyon 1 (LC1), but there was no water nearby, so we hiked out and stayed at a local campground. It was a fun last night, since we had an unexpected time around a campfire, drinking beer, eating hot dogs, and playing chubby bunny.
Here’s a video slideshow of the trip:

Hiking in Boulder
Yesterday Erin and I took the pups down to Boulder for a hike and to run a few errands. Boulder is such a cool town to hang out in for the day. We did a small loop trail in Chautauqua. I took this cool panoramic with an iPhone app called pano.

Montgomery Pass Snowshoe Trip
We kicked off our first full winter season in Colorado today with an early morning snowshoe trip up to Montgomery Pass off Highway 14. Christian and Becky met us at the house around 6am, and we carpooled up along the Cache la Poudre. We were a little worried along the way that there might not be good snow, but we had good reports from a friend that the snow would be great. Not far from Cameron Pass the snow came on quick, and we found about 3′ of powder at the trail head.
We met up with Charity and Clint at the trail head, along with Deuce and Louie. Our total route was around 4 miles round trip.
It was cold and windy above treeline, but very pleasant in the forest. We had a great time!
