Celebrating our 25th anniversary in Broadmoor's Cloud Camp. A rustic inspired lodge 9200 feet above sea level. 3000 feet over Colorado Springs. Shame about the wildfires, but still a fantastic view. (at Broadmoor Cloud Camp) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEKnhtxANyZ/?igshid=1hib0jv9mc83y

Sometimes in life you are just thinking about the Russian sage that needs trimming. And just as you're about to start, someone mentions bees. And then all you can think about is bees. And you put the hedge trimmers back and go inside until tomorrow. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHlJtwgUfS/?igshid=4rzi11vp1gaf

I'm finally getting around to putting more bling on Wasabi. I'm very proud of my homage to my philosophical hero: #billwatterson and #calvinandhobbes https://www.instagram.com/p/CCuVqgbgEMA/?igshid=y5ny7hwuw1zu
Where the hell were all of these "Ok, no problem" people?
I remember folks griping at having to put on a shirt to go into McDonald's, putting on seat belts, every. aspect. of. airline travel. And everything else on this.
And I'll add self-service gas stations and sel checkout grocery store too, for bonus points.
My personal takeaway: nobody likes change. You cried on the first day of school and just haven't stopped.
Today, 30-40 of my friends photobombed the #indianhillscommunitycenter sign. Thank you for all your support, Vince! IHCC is lucky to have you and so are we! #mini5280 (at Indian Hills Community Sign) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBt9XFugA_F/?igshid=ny0dkxxbrerw
You know those free toothpaste samples you get from the dentist? I'm not sure what normal people do with them, but our family has just been collecting them. There is a plastic bin in the bathroom closet with the free samples of toothpaste, toothbrushes, picks and floss.
As we are a family of four, that means we've been collecting these eight times a year. So the box started getting a little full.
I stood there, pondering these as I was about to reach in and grab a full-sized tube of toothpaste.
Why do we keep these?
Well, to use them, I guess.
But why aren't we using them?
If we use them, they'll go away.
Are you going to be sad that that tiny tube of free toothpaste is gone?
Well, not really.
What are your options?
I can use them or .... throw them away, I guess...
Do you see yourself throwing them away?
Not really, that would be wasteful.
Is keeping them and not using them wasteful?
Yeah, that's just as bad as throwing them away.
So if you use them, it's good.
Yes
So why do you have them?
To use them.
Are you going to keep them?
No.
Good, last question, what are you reaching for.
This tiny tube of sample toothpaste.
I'm glad we had this talk.
Since then, my wife and I have had this unspoken agreement to use up the tiny tubes and have just about emptying the bin. Maybe it is the completionist in me, but I am feeling a strange sense of accomplishment in this simple act.
PS: I showed this to my wife before I posted it.
"I hate the tiny tubes, but I understood what you were doing. I have been using three times as much toothpaste to finish this up faster."
Today’s drive was like a tonic for me.
Driving on dry roads under a blue sky with the scenery in that delicate balance of dead brown winter grasses, dark emerald evergreens and stark white snowdrifts. Today we rode a knife’s edge of earth, breathed the crisp air of spring, looked out of a monochromatic landscape and welcomed blue skies into our lives again.
For me, I realized that I have been hidden from the world. I had a passenger, no scratch that, my co-pilot, he was a help on the drive, not just cargo. We talked of many things and caught up, but throughout it all, it brought to my mind that I have not done much lately.
I counted the events that pre-dated this. We had the Mini Luau, of which I attended, but before that? Hmm. New Years? No, I stayed home with in-laws. Christmas? No, home with Mom. Thanksgiving? Yes! I did lots! At home, the whole family came to me. How about looking at the small things? My wife says I focus too much on grand gestures and forget the small stuff. I worked - from home -
<facepalm>
I haven’t been out much.
This brought to light just how introverted I have been and for how long. My life has been on pause since about Thanksgiving. Things in my life altered then and I didn’t realize how deeply that affected me. I withdrew and hunkered down, protecting myself. It saved me from pain, but I saw that you can’t grow like that. I was hibernating this winter.
Wasabi (my car) and I have been on grocery runs and my once-a-week trip to the office. That’s about it.
So today, we got ourselves into Sport mode. We fueled up and chased the sun, just for a while. We played on our asphalt jungle gyms and came home for supper with stories for our loved ones and pictures to share with friends.
But on the inside, we reach up with our green shoots. Our fingers play in the sun and we feel the heat reach down our arms and into our chests. Soon we will stand tall in the sun. The spring is here. We are blooming.
My brain is full.

3D printing is such an interesting study in precision. The left is a proof of concept that I knocked out of the park purely by accident. From then on, I've been trying to recreate that style of badge with varying degrees of failure #3dprinting #celebrateyourfailures #mini5280 https://www.instagram.com/p/B46XRfJASAP/?igshid=1pox2mm50xgyd
Something went wrong with this last 3D print https://www.instagram.com/p/B45jCbQAyBX/?igshid=1mufwfqxpfzbb
Today the #mini5280 club joined #socom on their run to the #paintmines interpretive park. We sent the afternoon hiking through this surreal landscape before a late lunch at Rosie's Diner https://www.instagram.com/p/B4qnSjkATCL/?igshid=rcqkgcb1oqs7
