A Year of Change

I’m off to Denver at 6 and Lori has a Zoom meeting at 6:30. I’m getting my windshield replaced and then have a stop to meet my buddy Toby before heading up to North Valley Bank to drop off some signed papers. Might see Ty after that before heading home.

Cold weather coming this weekend. The weeks are going fast which is ok with us as long as Spring arrives faster. I had some really good meetings yesterday and am off to a good start in 2023. Knock on wood.

The boys are well. Lot’s of scary crap going on in the World but I think the tide is turning and the people are waking up. Let’s hope so. Time to go as I need to shower and load up the truck. God Bless.

We decided to go to Denver after all. We left around 9:30 and were in Denver about 11:30. We stopped at a store where we needed to return something and then headed to Cherry Creek Grill to meet Jeff and Tina for lunch. Jag decided to join us and showed up about 15 minutes after us. After lunch we stopped at Whole Foods to buy the boys some groceries and then Jag headed home while we stopped to drop a coat and some food to Ty. After that, Lori and I headed home.

We made it home by 4 and settled in to watch the San Francisco Dallas game. The 49rs’ won which was great. All our other teams lost. It’s 6am now and we’re off to the gym in 30 minutes as I have a call at 9 and 11:30. Lori has to go into the office for a little bit today too. No snow up here which is good news.

Lori is making coffee so time to go. Enjoy the day and week and God Bless.

Clear blue skies outside, and it’s in the single digits outside. Right now they say it’s 3. We were thinking of going to Denver early this morning for lunch with the boys, but Ty is busy. I’m getting my windshield replaced Tuesday so I’ll see Jagger then. Hard to believe it’s so cold with the way the sun is shinning.

Yesterday we went to the gym and then were around the house for most of the day. Football was so so with the first game being ok, but again, horrible officiating. The second game was a blowout from the beginning and I turned it off in the first quarter. Hope we have better games today.

Dixie slept most of the day. She wanted to just stay home so we didn’t bring her up. Maybe today. She seems fine physically but is getting worse mentally as each day passes. Apparently it’s all part of getting old, ugh.

That’s it, be well, stay safe and God Bless.

Should be a good weekend for football. Two games today and two tomorrow. Hope the Chiefs lose, ha.

All went as scheduled yesterday in Denver. I was down by 8:50am and leaving by 12:30pm. The sales meeting went great and I made all 5 of my other stops as planned within the 3 hour and 40 minutes in town. Ty is doing well and went to another Nuggets game last night. Fun for him, especially with our winning streak.

We had a little less than an inch of snow last night, nothing major. Think we great a break for a while now. It is pretty outside. I’ve been taking some black and white photos as winter somehow seems better suited for black and white pictures.

Not sure what’s going on other than football. We thought about going to Denver to watch the games with friends but I think we’ll just hang out. I told Lori she should try to get a massage today.

That’s about it, time to get moving. Off to the gym as usual, make it a great day and God Bless.

One more trip. I’m off in an hour to meet Ty, then I have a quick stop and then will pick up my co-worker from California at 10:30 and head over to the 11:30am sales meeting. Once done at 12:15, I’ll head up the hill. Hope there’s no traffic coming home. Lori was going to tag along to see Ty but I think she is staying home.

Last night we had fun hanging out at James. He just made it back from his daughters birthday dinner in New York. She went to school with Jagger. It was a quick trip, he left on Tuesday and was back Wednesday.

No new snow. I think we’re going to dodge the storm coming in tonight as it looks like it’ll be south of us. It has been cold. We’re ready for Spring. So much for global warming. In Denver it’ll be about 20 degrees below the normal temperature.

That’s about it, time to go. Be well, stay safe and God Bless.

Sitting here this morning I can’t help but notice how beautiful it is outside. That got me thinking, how many beautiful things we have in life. Not just the ones we see but the unseen things that all center around freedom. You have the choice how to live, where to live, what to do, who to associate with, and on and on. As much as the elites want to take this away and control our lives even more, freedom reigns. If you watch what’s going on in the World, you’re aware of the gathering of the supposedly ones who know what’s best for all of us in Davos Switzerland this week. These are the very wealthy that think they are smarter than the rest of us in the World. They no longer even try to hide their agenda. It started with things like electric cars but now has risen to things like installing a Worldwide digital currency so they can control everything everyone buys and more importantly, stop you from buying things they deem are no good for you. They want to control our food. Many great leaders throughout history have said, control the food and you control the people. I could go on and on but you get it. So in closing here, think for yourself. You have the right to freedom. I’ve said before, it’s easy to lose rights but almost impossible to get them back. Think before you support or vote for anyone trying to tell you that they know what’s best for you! They don’t! Think about it.

Moving on, last night Ty and his buddies bought $10 tickets to go to the Nuggets game. We trailed for most of the game but pulled it out in dramatic fashion in the end. We have a great unselfish team that has a chance of winning it all this year. Glad he goes to the games, sports are great.

Lori made it home around 6pm. Today we’ll work from home and hang around the house. Tomorrow I’m in Denver for a sales meeting. We do have cigar night tonight at 5. Lori will probably go see her mom.

Well head to the gym this morning and then get to it around here. Make it a great day and God Bless.

While in Denver it seems to be Snowmageddon, up here, we have about an inch. I was down to Denver by 9 and back by 1. I met up with Ty and dropped him a bunch of clothes, some groceries and some birthday stuff. He along with Maddy and Vinnie went to the Nuggets game last night which we won. They ended up sitting right behind the team and Ty bought a Nuggets jersey with some of his birthday money. They kept face timing us during the game.

On the way up, our friend Rollie called asking if the canyon was closed. She was an hour ahead of me on the way to her house in Aspen. Turns out 4 semis crashed and it was closed all day. She ended up hanging out at our house waiting for it to open and eventually just decided to spend the night. She had to cancel her chemo appointment in Aspen (her cancer came back) and will drive over to Aspen this morning. Lucky we were around or she would have been in a World of hurt. We were happy we could help her out. That’s what friends do.

Today Lori works in Edwards and I’ll head to the gym after Rollie gets on the road. The local news pre-empted the network shows for the snow storm but it doesn’t look all that bad. Maybe Denver got a bunch.

Time to get moving, make it a great day and God Bless.

19 years old today, whoo hoo! I’m headed down to Denver to have the oil changed on the truck and stop and see Ty. I’m taking him a bunch of clothes and some presents for his bday. We had some snow and more is on the way but I’m hoping to get down and up before it really picks up. Ty is going to the Nuggets game tonight as he wanted some tickets for a bday present. He’s in row 19 which should be fun.

Last night Marty and Melanie came over and we all hung out for a few hours. I ended up cancelling my Atlanta trip too! I lucked out as I accomplished what I needed to without getting on a plane. Lori and I might go somewhere warm. We’re craving some sun.

Time to go so I can get on the road. I plan on being down by 9 and headed home by 11, if all goes well. Hope the weathermen are wrong and we don’t get as much snow as they say we will.

Have a great day, God Bless.

Yesterday we there were three good football games and a good basketball game. All three of my teams won and so did the Nuggets on a last second 3 point shot by the Joker. We brought Dixie up for a few hours and then at 4 pm went bowling with James, Adriana and her two boys who are 16 and 17. We hadn’t been bowling sine I can remember, maybe ever together. I was pretty good but Lori struggled a bit. To be fair, her back has been sore so that had something to do with it. We had a blast and were all acting silly like teenagers after a great shot or strike. Afterwards they came up to the house for a while and we watch the first half of the 3rd football game before they headed home. Fun time.

We have maybe two inches of snow outside and I think someone stole one of my snow shovels! I’m so pissed as it was the good one too. I use two shovels when I shovel snow so it goes faster, one in each hand. Now it’s going to take me twice as long.

It’s Melanie’s birthday today and Lori is making enchilada’s for her. They’re coming over at 5. It’s MLK Day so some places are open and others closed. Tomorrow is Ty’s birthday and I’m headed to Denver. Lori is trying to take the day off. Ty will be 19, wow!

Time to go, have a great day and God Bless.

Yesterday was a football Saturday with a couple good games. First the 49’rs won and next up the Chargers had another epic collapse. Both fun to watch although I did tune out of the Chargers game in the first half only to come back mid 3rd quarter.

James and Adriana came over and she brought some Cuban chicken dish in a crock pot. We hung out for most of the 49 game and most of the Chargers game. It was a nice low key fun time with only the four of us.

Today we have three games. I’ll watch a couple, time permitting. No snow yet but they say it’s coming. We’ll see. Looks like on and off snow for the next week. We’re ready for Spring.

Lori’s back seems a little better. Dixie was on and off. Lori went to visit her early in the afternoon. She has to wear her oxygen as when she doesn’t, she’s thoroughly confused.

Time to warm up my coffee. Have a great day no matter what you do. Halfway through the month, here we go! God Bless.
