Pike’s Peak
A real taste of Colorado elevation, Pike’s Peak was phenomenal. We drove all the way to Mile 16 and then shuttled to the top. Breath taking views all around. And driving? Absolutely loved it. Go slow while going down though… Pike’s Peak. Elevation: 14,115ft. Date: Oct 4, 2019

CATS the musical
Saw CATS the musical at the Fisher theater yesterday. Was blown away by it. I’m not a musical kind of guy but this performance was simply amazing. Seeing it first hand confirms why CATS has been one of the longest running shows in the world. Photography wasn’t allowed inside the theater so no photos or videos; sorry folks but I do have a couple of shots of the Fisher theater inside.

So, this year finally decided to pay a visit to State fair although Michigan State …
Trick 3: Bulk Download 4K Wallpapers (Updated)
Way way back in 2015, I wrote this post about auto downloading huge amount of 4k wallpapers. That trick worked very well. Now this trick is essentially an enhanced version of that trick. Previously, with downloading, the file names were pretty insignificant, representing only the ID of the file on the site. In addition to this, everything was downloaded in one single folder, i.e. no organization. As a result, identify what file shows what was …
Egg & Veg Chow Mein
Who says spaghetti can’t be used to make Chinese style Chow Mein! Made Chow Mein from scratch tonight with mixed veggies (pepper, onions, cabbage, mushrooms and and celery) and 3 eggs. Topped with Sriracha and with a side of egg roll. It turned out to be very yummy and better than some of the Chinese noodles I’ve used before.
