Vito SalDucci was here!!!

Vito SalDucci made his first appearance in Colorado this past weekend. He strolled in the door around 4:30pm right behind Choke. As they got through the door, a huge surprise walked in ... Ms. Adrienne Colavita! Who knew?! Choke and A planned it a week ago and left it as a surprise for Vito and I. It was great to see her ... its been a while!

We had a 6:30 reservation at the Boulder Chop House. Dinner was superb! I ordered the Pepper Crusted New York Strip ... cooked to perfection! Butta baby, butta! Should you ever visit any of their 4 locations, I highly recommend the Filet Mignon Oscar ... melts in your mouth!!

After dinner, we took a short walk around Pearl Street ... wish I had a Segway. We stopped for a drink at Foundry's rooftop deck and minutes later headed for Bacaro. The night got ugly, as did I. Unfortunately, we only used a disposable camera and I only have hard copies. I'll have them scanned in a few days for posting.

I took it easy on Friday ... but Choke and Vito were at it again. We were back at Bacaro to watch a local Brazilian band. Of course, I didn't know the lyrics ... but that doesn't stop me from signing. The women were sexy, the drinks were colorful and the weather was perfect. Shake ... shake, shake dat ass girl!!! I insisted on leaving at 11:30 considering the full day we planned at RMNP. Vito and Choke repeated, "Just one more hour!" I don't blame them ... they got a 38 yo woman to show her pearced nipples at the bar ... if I were drunk, I would of stayed too!

Saturday morning came ... Vito was cooked. He dragged himself to the truck wearing a pale white face and his 9mm on his hip. I'm sure he was debating shooting himself considering his condition. After the 30 minute ride to Estes, he couldn't get out of the truck to take a picture. Choke found it in himself to pose for one ... Brown and Choke, the legacy continues ...


Overall, it was a great day at RMNP! The views were amazing, the traffic wasn't bad at all and the weather was once again, perfect. A highlight of the day was when Chad made an appearance along Trail Ridge Road. Who's Chad you ask ... see for yourself ...


If it weren't for the other tourists taking pictures, Chad would of been Sat night's dinner ... especially since we had SalDucci's 9mm with us.

Here's one of the gang ... left to right, Brown, me, Choke, Vito and Uni ... Vito got himself back together for this shot ... he's huge!!!


Of all the pictures I took, the next one is my favorite. It took us 5 hours to get to this spot. The hike was insane. The air was so thin, we could barely breathe. Elevation .... @ 15,000 feet! Where were we ... Top of the World! Fo' shizzl!

More to come ....
