Ridin' With DD, Buildin' The Shop, And Listenin' To New Tunes 08Feb20-09Feb20

I got the rare pleasure this season of riding with DD to Breck and partaking of 30" of new snow there. We had a good time and enjoyed the freshies but endured long lift lines and were aced from the alpine, which never opened this day, due to avy control and winds. We departed early and dined at Highside, a good newish brewery in Frisco.

 

 

In pursuit of a new project I've needed to build out the shop in Silverthorne. I traded up to a new router with table, I've added a drill press with laser and work light, I've upgraded soldering station with temp control and new magnifying glasses. New tools are exciting at least to me... task appropriate always improves results.

I'm excited for two recent music drops beyond some of the cool stuff performed at the Oscars last night. Firstly, Alex Lahey delivered a grunge-like piece called "Sucker For Punishment" and announced some US tour dates. Unfortunately there is no Denver stop on the tour, yet. Secondly, a very good acoustic set was dropped on NPR's Tiny Desk from the stellar emo team from the Valley of the Sun, Jimmy Eat World. They even perform The Middle as the last song - the whole thing was excellent - Jim Adkins voice is still very fine. Click through below.
