ALL-STAR GAME:

I was all kinds of fired up about the All-Star Game Tuesday Night. Mainly because the game was played over in Denver and it is such a beautiful stadium. My fingers were crossed that the city would be showcased for its beauty. Well, we did see a tiny glimpse of the setting sun. 

So I pulled the cover off the BBQ and sparked that sucker to life. The pack of dogs watched my every move, all the food was free from the donation pick up by the way, as I removed the cellophane plastic from the Ribeye slabs. 

In the above photo, this is where I moved the BBQ for maximum viewing opportunities. You can still see the amount of toxic smoke in the air. YUCK 

But not for long as YOUR rain dances paid off. Thank You For THAT. After preparing the potatoes, corn, and bloody dead animal, I walked out back to a pleasant surprise. A very light rain began to fall. The temperature dropped dramatically and I found myself in my element. Barbecuing in the rain!!! So Dig It

And what do you know, I have friends!! Check Out These Faces!! During the All-Star game was a texting conversation with the Uncles in Sacramento CA. Come to find out, gathered by about the third inning, they weren't even watching the game. But I humored myself with tidbit informative texts because the dogs were useless after dinner and couldn't give a Ratz A$$ about baseball.  

CB:

Talk about the absolute best way to wake up??? How about surround by three sleepy dogs, rain tapping against the window pane, droplets dancing on the roof top, and the fresh smell of a saturated forest. Remember how I was hosting a pity party for myself about how smokey dry the air had become?? Remember That 

Well I thank you Mother Nature. Not only did it rain Tuesday night but it poured down at times. The cold light rain fell all day on Wednesday. I sat in this beautiful home and just watched as the rain hydrated the dry earth once again. The rain clouds completely engulfed the Mountain Peaks!! Visibility at times deteriorated to about across the street at best and some of the mountain wind gust were rather impressive. 

And by my side, Mr Moochie. He didn't care much for the house shaking thunder but he could eat if you were wondering. The other two could care less about lightning and thunder.  

CYCLING:

Walked the dogs in the rain last night and finally going for a proper ride today. Clear crisp clean air today and looking forward to stretching out the feeble legs. Not planning on crushing it by any means but just riding and smiling. 

And that is exactly what I did. A beautiful casual ride around the backside of Mt CB. Wildflowers painted the way, a wet forest provided my nostrils with decomposing earthy wood aromas, and I never saw another human throughout the ride. 

RADIO SHOW:

I will be hosting The Global Groove Show This Sunday The 18th at 9am Mountain Standard Time Zone. Here is the KAFM RADIO web site for live streaming. OR CLICK HERE ( thanx Mr Bill AND Perth ) Looking forward to the show and have all kinds of tasty Caribbean treats to serve up. Thanx in advance for streaming. 

Still pinch myself as it is difficult for me to believe that I am living here, sipping my morning Joe from this spot, and handsomely paid for running/hiking with the dogs. I am thankful for every moment. Sending Positive Vibes Your Way

Tomorrow Brings A New Milestone, Another Early Morning Start, And Possibly Fresh Oats Wheat & Barley, 

Cheers
