Summer Vacation Memories
The crickets are starting much to early tonight and an exceptionally cool breeze just swept over my legs for the first time since early spring.  Is summer really over?  I must have blinked.   I'm glad I promised this post.  I'm enjoying the mood it's putting me in.  It was a wonderful summer vacation full of nature's beauty, new beginnings, and drumming with friends. 


We started off with a few days at Lake Dillion, Colorado.  The lake is about a two hour drive for us.

The room had a great view  off the deck as well as from the bed.

We did have one disappointment and learned you need at least a month and preferably two to reserve one of the marina's boats.  We came to ride bikes and get on this cold mountain reservoir water.  Our time here went too fast but we were still happy to to be out and around the water in absolutely perfect weather.

A few days after coming home we found ourselves investing in a warehouse.
![Pueblo building and us in front - Copy.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYQwfoHteZuFZaszi5GRzHVyWvU58soe6Qm93H3oYgWS1/Pueblo%20building%20and%20us%20in%20front%20-%20Copy.jpg)

Half the building is already rented by a tenant  who makes beautiful Colorado style furniture from beginning to end. He cuts his own logs and hauls them out.  He then debarks, planes, builds, sands and finishes the new piece.   I can see a #treetuesday post possibility that might be interesting for @old-guy-photos.

The location of this property is only ten minutes from the reservoir and has a large yard and wide gates that can easily store a boat right where the bunny is. The wheels are turning in my head.  I think I'll have a special request of Santa this year.

SUMMER TIME FESTIVAL TIME

I joined my drumming friends and played a couple of city festivals.  This one was for recovering addicts.

Promotors of the event opened it by encircling the park with motorcycle clubs who support and promote programs for addiction.  It was loud and cool!

My two sister's visit topped of my summer fun.  I'll share more about their time here in the next post.

Looks like you had a wonderful summer. The view of the lake, and the view from the room are awesome. They took my breath away.
Glad that you caught up with your sisters. 
Good luck with your investment.

Thank you.  The view from the room was just what the doctor ordered.  I'm not sure why I have had such a desire to be around water lately.

Could it be that water soothes. I like to be near water too. If it is the beach, I like to hear the waves lapping. If it is a stream, I like to hear the water flowing. If it is a lake, I will find it peaceful and serene. 😊

I just went to your Amazon site.  I was thinking about getting the Google Pixel 3a cell phone for the great camera and the price is almost as much as the  lumix kit.  Maybe that's what I should get since I really don't NEED a phone, mine still works...poorly.  I'm surprised at the price of the lumix and how much camera and equipment you can get for under 5oo.  The guy at Best Buy led me to believe good camera's  start at 1200.  Does this one have stabilization?  Are you happy with yours?

@old-guy-photos · 
Oh that guy is totally wrong. Cameras that are not expensive have really come up in quality. Every video I post is made with the Panasonic Lumix G7. It even does 4k but I don't see the need to use that as the files are so large.

See I though you were after tiny. My G7 is very light and compact as it is mirrorless. In fact Ben calls it a toy coz it is small and light.

No the days of spending big money on a camera are long gone. It does a great job of photos in my opinion and I often get compliments on the video quality. 

I have used mine nearly every single day since November 2015 and never had an issue. As you know I don't baby it. I don't try to abuse it but I take it hiking, kayaking. I get it messy in the kitchen filming cooking vids lol.

The cool thing is that if you go to my store and buy anything that is not listed we get credit within 24 hours. So if a guy buys toilet paper within 24 hours... Bingo you get a tiny bit lol

Thailand definitely has its pluses as you have shown me but I think I would miss winter...a little anyway.  Right now I'm not ready.
