While cleaning the chimney this spring I noticed that one of the flue tiles was cracked. I had my brick contractor pull the chimney down and replace the clay flue tiles. I have installed the new flue cap and will be building a better masonry cap in the fall when it cools down some and the brick work has had time to completely cure. Another project off of my list.

For sometime now I have been looking at off-road camping trailers. This last week I made the trek to Denver Colorado to order a Hiker Extreme Trailer. I still have some decisions to make on modification to the trailer but since the trailer will not be built until next Spring, I will take my time making the final decisions. While I was in Colorado I took advantage of the cool weather and went to the Leadville area and camped out. I then worked my way south and had my plans interrupted by a large forest fire NE of Angle Fire. Ended up taking a gravel road up and over the mountain the fire was on since the highway I wanted to take was closed. Update: Photos below from fire area taken May 19, 2019.

AuthorSteve Chapman (68 yoa) Welcome to my Retirement Journal. A little about myself: I was married to my high school sweetheart for almost 29 years. I have been a widower since 2008.
I worked for the City of Chickasha for over 38 years and held a variety of jobs for them during that time. I retired as the Parks and Recreation Director on January 6, 2017. Now that I have retired I will be working on the many projects that I have been putting off. I will also be deciding where I will live in retirement. I am not sure I want to stay in Chickasha. I do plan on traveling and doing a lot of hiking, kayaking, backpacking, camping, hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities as well as volunteer work during my retirement... ![]() New Hiking Buddy!
