OT - Hello

Cory430

I just wanted to say hello. I know that it has been quite awhile since I last posted. The truth is, I haven't done all that much eggin and what I have done has been pretty mundane; steaks, pulled pork, etc. I have been swamped at work and when I have been free; I have been indulging in my other passion: the outdoors. I know that some of ya'll enjoy pics of the mountains and thought that I'd include a few recent ones. BTW, big thanks to Zippy and Cookn Biker! I really appreciate the packages. As soon as I get off my lazy butt and get creative on the egg (tomorrow), I will put up some pics with yall's wonderful gifts

Mount Bierstadt 14,060'-climbed 2-09 (the summit is on the right)


Some of the scenery


On the way up

The summit ridge


Finally at the top (of course this is only the 1/2 way point of the round trip :laugh: )


Tomorrow: Food Porn!

Hope ya'll enjoyed the pics,

Beli

Yo Cory
Looks like a blast. Air is pretty thin over 14 eh? It's funny how we take sea-level oxygen for granted. Thaks for the pix. Brings back lots of memories.

Thanks Beli, I figured that you'd enjoy them. You always seem to appreciate the landscape photos.

It is good to hear from you my friend,

Cory430

Chris,
Bierstadt is considered an easy (well, about as easy as these things get) 14er....in the summer. Winter conditions add a whole new perspective I have been out here for more than 10 yrs now and still haven't gotten used to the lack of o2 when above 13k', but it sure is fun! If you ever get out this way let me know and we'll go bang out a few more of these bad boys.

Big'un

Very Cool Cory! Glad to hear from you!

Cory430

Thanks Big'un! That reminds me; I need to get a hold to some of your sauce ('course I'm a bit partial to my own :laugh: ) It's good to get a little down time. The large is heating up as we speak and a flat iron is in the hot tub!

Never let a lack of Egging keep you from here. I, for one, rally enjoy your pics. You're Family,...and you're entitled a break. Just don't stay away too long.

Cory,
Great pics, thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see the food soon. It must be great living so close to great nature like that.

Cory,

Know exactly what you mean regarding work...I think I'm paddling on the other side of that same boat with you I hope that things get better for you.

Cory430

Mike, I do check in most days, just make sure all is well. I just haven't posted as much since my cooks have been pretty standard fare. Thank you for the kind words.

Cory430

Jim, It is a lot of fun...and a lot of work. The payoff is always worth it though.

Molly,
Those mountains are the reason I moved out here so many years ago. I truly enjoy my time out there. Of course, in my line of work, you almost have to get out as much as possible to be able to relate to the customers. It's a win/win situation :laugh:

The relish that you brought will be getting put to good use today.

Cory430

Jeff
Glad you enjoyed them. That particular climb is only about an hour from the house, that doesn't suck

BB,
I'm not complaining about the work, I love both of my jobs and am thankful to have them, but it sure is nice to get a little "fun" time every once in a while. I am going to enjoy those eggs today!
