A clash of titans!

by jake2624 on June 16, 2009

About six weeks ago, I decided to buy tickets to the Colorado Rockies vs Tampa Rays baseball game at Coors Field. At that time, the Rockies had the worst record in baseball and the Rays were in last place. Fast forward to today. The Rays started playing like the defending American League champions and the [...]

Taste of the Rockies

by jake2624 on June 14, 2009

We woke up early this morning – like 4:30AM early – and made the 75 minute trip up to the Rocky Mountain National Park. The weather was perfect, the company was well-behaved and the photography was pretty darn good. A great day! First we stopped at Bear Lake and took several photos of Hallett’s Flat-top [...]

LoDo

by jake2624 on June 13, 2009

I woke up early this morning and headed down to LoDo – the Lower Downtown Historic District. I spent about 90 minutes walking around and getting familiar with the area, taking pictures along the way. We’ve got a full weekend ahead of ourselves so it was nice to get out and have some time to [...]

Chez Jacobsen

by jake2624 on June 8, 2009

Wow, I can’t believe we’ve lived here for two months already! It was brought to my attention (ok, several times it was brought to my attention), that our friends in Florida have still not seen where we live. So, after work tonight I took the camera out and spent a few hours taking and processing [...]

Hike-o-rama

by jake2624 on May 18, 2009

What a busy weekend! We started things off by watching Star Trek on Saturday morning (great movie btw). Neither Tara or myself were happy with our footwear on our last hike so we stopped and got some new trail gear. Later that afternoon I went for a couple mile hike at the Mesa Trailhead. I [...]

Vroom Vroom!

by jake2624 on April 26, 2009

Wow – what a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon! My friend Chad called me on Saturday morning and told me that there were some MRA (Motorcycle Racing Association of Colorado) races at Pueblo Motorsports Park. With that in mind, Tara and I got up Sunday morning and took the two hour drive to [...]

What are you looking at?

by jake2624 on April 14, 2009

Actually, you are looking at a black-tailed Prairie Dog! One of the wonders of Colorado – specifically right outside our house – is the prairie dog. There are hundreds of them right outside our window! Tara and I went for a walk on Sunday morning and I took my camera with me. We saw plenty [...]

Family Hiking

by jake2624 on April 10, 2009

One of the benefits of working for a company that is involved in the markets is when the market is closed – so is the office! Today is Good Friday and as such, the markets were closed. Tara and I woke up early and headed out for a hike! I decided to take T and [...]

Yay!

by jake2624 on April 3, 2009

I wasn’t sure the day would ever arrive… but it DID! The rest of the family got here safely last night and except for the cat throwing up on Tara, none the worse for wear! Today the movers arrive with all of our ‘stuff’ and we can almost start living like a real family again. [...]

@#$*@#!

by jake2624 on April 1, 2009

Well this is just great… I woke up this morning to find a puddle of water in the bathroom. Actually, puddle might be an understatement. There’s enough standing water that it a) sloshes and b) is leaking through the ceiling below – ONTO THE TELEVISION!!!! @#$*&@#*($&@# I’m really not sure how or where the leak [...]
