Dang 5 Years!!!

(since my last post)


I was going through some emails today for google adsense and somehow managed to amount $79 in revenue.  Meaning I need $21 to be eligible for a payout... Anyways.. Let me drop this here to see if this will get me publishing something more often.  

In the meantime here is a photo from every year of blogging I have missed.

2014 - Jackson Hole, WY


2015 - On Route to Colorado for a Snowboard trip with sis.


2016 - Took Mia on a trip to Central Park


2017 - Still cooking 4 days a week at home.



And still traveling the globe when I can.  I've been a few places since 2013 as well so there will be some travel posts coming soon.  Stay Tuned!

Cuba Round II

Cuba. Que lindo es mi Cuba. And boy let me tell you it's a journey in itself just getting here. This is the ticketing booth @MIA International waiting to have our boarding passes printed and pay for our luggage.  photo DSC00886.jpg Going to Cuba for most is an opportunity to take anything and everything you can fit or can't fit in luggage, you name it and we take it. Bikes, coffee makers, basketballs, rollerskates, baby cribs. EVERYTHING! Landing in Cuba you exit the plane right off the runway..  photo DSC00945.jpg Then like any country you stand in line at customs..  photo DSC00949.jpg  photo DSC00947.jpg After getting through customs our chariot awaited :)A Russian Lada is the norm..  photo DSC00954.jpg On my last visit we decided to take a break from La Habana and head out to VARADERO!  photo IMG_9918.jpg About 140km east of La Habana it's a straight shot on the via Blanca highway. It took us about 2 hours and some change with some stops and keeping an eye out for the caballitos (police). One of the cool stops on the way was El Puente de Bacunayagua, standing 110 meters high it is one of Cubas top 7 wonders of civil engineering.  photo IMG_9816.jpg  photo DSC01615.jpg And Yes.. there are tolls in Cuba too..  photo IMG_9912.jpg Varadero Beach  photo IMG_0126.jpg  photo IMG_9970.jpg  photo IMG_0018.jpg  photo IMG_0012.jpg Some Photos from the resort we stayed at.. The steak house which was closed during our visit for repairs.  photo IMG_9974.jpg The place where they do their weddings..  photo DSC01635.jpg Pool Bar!!  photo IMG_9980.jpg  photo IMG_0008.jpg Pool Bungalows  photo DSC01735.jpg  photo DSC01806.jpg Pool Area..  photo DSC01808.jpg Sunset  photo DSC01793.jpg  photo DSC01788.jpg  photo DSC01772.jpg That about wrapped up the Varadero part of the trip... I'll be back later for some of La Habana

Trash Treasures Round II

Back again with another pretty cool find. This time I was just driving home from work and saw this big bunched up thing on the side of a dumpster. Being the inquisitive person I am I drove on up to see what it was. I should have snapped a photo of it as it was when I found it. After pulling it out I still didnt know what it was until I fully set it up. Here you have it...a Hammock!

And as an added bonus I found these too!

Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App

Some Old School Atomic Skis with poles. LOL. These will turn into a project bench/Chair that I am going to make out of old ski and snowboard equipment.


And a quick update. In my last find I showed you this chair here...

I sold that yesterday!

Trash Treasures

So I´ve been labeled the Trash King by close friends and family. I also have the luck of number 7 floating around with me. I´ve always been interested in others peoples unwanted items so naturally when I see some stuff on the curb I stop and take a look. If I like something I see, I take it.. why not "someones trash is another mans treasure" right? As of late I have been finding some really cool stuff. Stuff with VALUE. My latest find included items valued at over $1000 dollars and I´ll get to that in a minute. At this rate I will probably have to open a store soon. Or just have an always open garage sale like @CedEntertainer on the recent movie Larry Crowne.

I figured I would share my finds with you through this blog. This will be the first of many posts to come about what I find on my travels throughout the good ol county of Fairfax and surrounding areas.

Here goes the first official post of Trash Treasures and 2012!!

The new year started out with people cleaning out their old unwanted furniture, clothes, and other home accessories. This is what I have found this year so far. Everything is for sale! The nice Adirondack chair is from Plow & Hearth and has 2 cushions! All the cast iron and birds are from Pottery Barn and current inventory!
