In Kalamazoo, Michigan today (University of Western Michigan) and it's legging season up here already. :love:
That's the most popular wardrobe choice in Breckenridge. Lovely views downtown.

Making the rounds in Denver area this week. Any must eat joints in Denver? I need a good spot for tomorrow (Tuesday). I'm planning on lunch in Breckenridge on Wednesday. Eating in Buena Vista on Thursday. Not boozing hard this trip as I'm doing a lot of early morning hiking. Maybe a couple of pints at Breck Brew.

we had a great dinner at Rioja.   Also had very good sushi at SushiDen.    Was underwhelmed by Biker Jim's.   Snooze for great pancakes.  Hear very good things about Pinches Tacos, but didn't make it.
You need to hit Pinche Taqueria. Outstanding. I ate outside under the shade tree this afternoon. Three different tacos for my meal and a very fresh guacamole with pico de gallo dip as an app. Ranger IPA on tap.

If your a fan of French, Bistro Vendome is across the street from Rioja (and the same cook started it).  It's fantastic and very good patio and less formal than Rioja.

Sushi Den is typically regarded as best Sushi.

If you want a great bar/burger Cherry Cricket.

If you want asian fusion than Cholon Modern Asian Bistro is amazing downtown with nice patio.

There's so many diff things it'd be easier to narrow down if you picked a type of food.


Yesterday I had lunch at Yolanda's Tacos and dinner at Steubens last night. Fantastic and great job Denver in the weather department as well.

Weather in Denver is the best if you like seasons.  Sunny winters and cool summers.  Otherwise west coast if your into monotonous sunshine.

Good thing pilots don't freak out in the first snow like drivers. Flakes are flying heavy at DIA.

Back to my regional travels next week through Kentucky and Ohio. Probably not as exciting as Mulvane.

I had to do it a few times but successfully dodged that job for most of my airport stint.  Cold as eff and spraying a plane with chemicals is not fun.  Then when passengers/pilots dick around for 5 extra minutes, you have to do it again.

dude, the plane deicers at the really cold airports look like fun. You're in a climate-controlled robotic pod and you get to shoot a gun all day.

Youtube is amazing.  Guy shoots outside his plane window at a plane deicer and get over 5,000 views.

Add Boston to the list. Work needs me to meet with a client out there. I've been wanting to visit for years. Can't wait! I'm sure LSOC will be helpful on this one.
