A Year of Change

Thank a vet today no matter who you are as without them you wouldn’t have the ability to live how you live. Wonder if those looters and protestors realize this? The very society they hate gives them the right to well, hate. Ironic huh.

I have an ear ache this morning. Other than that I feel fine though. Lori is in Frisco today and the weather is warming up. I have a few errands and then a couple more calls today. We’re going to do a practice turkey before Thanksgiving. Maybe I’ll get a couple today.

That’s it, time to get moving, be well, GB

Yesterday’s news of a potential vaccine has the markets soaring. Stocks like Zoom and other stay at home companies were way down. How funny that things can move on a rumor so much. If and when a vaccine is available, don’t be surprised if they make it mandatory. I’m sure a lot of people will line up for it but also suspect many won’t. It’ll be interesting to see how that turns out. They say we might have 100,00 to 200,000 doses by the end of they year here in Colorado. We’ll see how those people do with it. Can you say Guinea Pig?

It was cold yesterday and I drove Lori to work as we won’t have snow tires on her car for a few more days. We had to have them shipped in from California. Funny huh.

We’re headed to the gym this morning so time to get moving. Sunny weather coming but first one more day of cooler temps and some snow outside. It’s 16 in Denver but 23 up here with a high of 31 today. Be strong, hang in there, God Bless.

Lori landed on time and the snow arrived last night on time. We have a nice coating on the grass but the roads are clear. They’re probably icy from what I can see. I think we’re going to get another larger blast this afternoon but hopefully not much more than a couple inches.

Lori had a good trip. Today she’s in Vail and I’ll drop her when I drop Ty at school. I have a couple calls today and a bunch of organizing around here. I am heading to the gym after dropping Lori and Ty.

Our tree is up but we need to get Moms ornaments on it! Tomorrow I might be getting new tires on Lori’s car in Denver, we’ll see if they’re available. There are shortages on everything including tires. Told ya! Read on.

Before I go, Denver and some surrounding counties just installed a curfew of 10 pm to 5 am until December 7th! Sounds like Nazi Germany to me. King Soopers just put a limit on how much you can buy of cleaning supplies and paper products like toilet paper, wipes, disinfectant and more. One of Trump’s fast track vaccine manufacturers just said “they can see a light at the end of the tunnel for covid” and Joe announced it like it is because of him. Lori thinks covid will go away pretty quick once Joe gets in. How convenient, a week after the election. Think for yourself people.

Time to get moving, make it a great week. Time to order your turkey! God Bless.

Whoo hoo, Lori comes home today! We miss her! Seems like she’s been gone a month.

We had strong winds last night, all night. No snow yet, maybe a dusting here and there but that’s it. I think tonight it’s going to come in a little stronger. Vail and the pass might have a bit more.

Ty had 3 friends spend the night while Jag went to get a covid test as one of his girlfriends from Aspen where he pretty much spends most of his time, tested positive. She feels fine but still is probably contagious. He and his friends are wondering why they all don’t have it. Maybe they do.

Thanksgiving is less than 3 weeks away. Then it’s downhill to Christmas. 40’s up here all week. I saw that Adams County in Denver just installed a curfew from 10pm until 5am. Not sure that’s legal, wow. Big Trump demonstrations everywhere. Some Biden celebrations too. Lots of questionable instances of potential voting fraud. Not sure it’ll do any good though.

I’m headed down early to watch the first half of the Bronco game at Jeff and Tina’s. Was thinking of going to Tom’s but with Ali having Copd I don’t want to spread any germs if I have some.

Time to get moving. Be well, be safe and stay positive! God Bless.

Keystone opened yesterday for skiing and the temps will drop 30 or more degrees in the next 48 hours. Snow is on the way too. Tomorrow Lori will be on the way home also. She’ll arrive around 12:30 or so.

Right now it’s sort of cloudy outside but pleasant. Yesterday I had a small scratch repaired on my drivers side door and did some work around the house. Today more work is in order plus I’m going to make pork green chili in the crock pot.

The boys and dogs are fine. Jack spent the night here with Ty and I’m headed to the gym in a few minutes. Not much else happening worth talking about right now. Thanksgiving is coming up quick! Can’t wait for something to focus on other than the crap going on these days.

God Bless.

Snow and cold temps coming this weekend. I think starting on Sunday morning. Just when I need to go get Lori, ha. Today though I think we’re in the 60’s and maybe even the 70’s. Jag found out last night that school is going to 100% on line learning for the rest of the semester. This means until at least January 14th, no in person classes. He’s debating when to come home as a lot of his friends are leaving school and going home now which is about 2 weeks early. Meanwhile Ty goes back to in class learning next week but only 2 days a week, Monday and Thursdays.

Lori made it to Sacramento fine. She’s hunkered down at Dixie’s for the next two days. It seems like a Saturday even though it’s Friday. I’d like to get snow tires on her car today but I think that’s pretty unlikely.

I just saw an ad on tv where some woman is asking us to only interact with our family for the rest of the month Good luck with that. I mean it’s not like we’re having parties but you still have to go to the store, go to work and oh yea, there’s that holiday called Thanksgiving. The great news is even though cases are up, deaths are way down.

Looks like Biden will probably win. Unbelievable. Lori and I cannot believe just how many people voted for such a socialist platform. Good news is it looks like the Republican’s will hold the Senate meaning not much will get done. Either way, things are not good. 70 million people voted for Biden and about an equal amount voted for Trump. Normally that’d be fine but with our inability as a Country, in 2020, to count votes from an election, whoever loses will feel cheated and that the other side stole the election from them. You can’t believe ANYTHING on tv anymore so you believe what you want to believe to support your side and you dismiss the rest. I’m at peace with it and have faith in God’s master plan. May sound corny but what else can you do. I mean we survived Obama, even when he had control of the House and the Senate. The bad news is our Country will never be the same. I sure miss the 70’s, ha.

Time to walk the dogs. Hope you all are well, stay safe and God Bless.

We’re out the door at 7 this morning to get Lori to the airport to go see Dixie. The election is a mess. There’s clearly fraud going on in so many different areas but what’s new. Jag had a flood in his dorm room that he had to clean up, ugh. Harley was supposed to go to training in Utah but was too scared and skittish to go. She needs me to take her down to the stores and walk her around a bunch of people to get her more comfortable with lots of people at the same time.

It’ll be interesting to see what’s going on in Denver. I think so far things are calm as they don’t know yet who won the election. I think Arizona might turn to Trump even though the AP called it for Biden as there’s 600,000 votes yet to count. Hard to believe in 2020 things aren’t better organized. As long as the Republican’s hold the Senate, go ahead and give the other team the ball. If that happens, I bet any talk of the virus stops right away. We’ll see. I wonder what the news will do for four years without Trump to bash.

Colder weather coming this weekend and I think then 40 during the day and 15 to 20 at night will be the new norm. Lori comes back Sunday which is right before the snow arrives. I do need to get her snow tires.

Hope everyone is well and I pray to God that all the division and the virus soon goes away. We need to get back to life! Be well, be safe and God Bless.

Looks like we won’t know who won for not hours but days. Unbelievable. Not sure how in 2020 State’s are not able to count votes on election day. Good news is the Republicans will hold the Senate. This means even if Biden somehow steals the election, he will be mostly blocked by a Republican Senate. Still though, we’re all better off if Trump wins. The thing to watch is that democratic officials in States where we don’t know are allowing late mail in ballots that are not signed and don’t have witnesses. Hence, they’re ripe for fraud.

In an hour I’m off to Grand Junction for snow tires. I should be back by 1 or 2. Lori is in Vail today and Ty is home. Tomorrow, as of right now, she’s still flying to California. We’ll see how things are going tonight.

Hope the undecided election puts a pause on any violence. We’re pretty much isolated up here but I worry about the cities and our Country. God help us and God Bless America.

First up, no matter who you vote for, be thankful you live in a Country where you get to vote. I could dig deeper and we could discuss whether or not your vote actually matters but we’ll save that for another time. Just make sure you vote.

Now to the day. You need to be aware of your surroundings. Violence is a possibility. Probably not today but in the coming days for sure. Make sure you have some groceries and supplies so you don’t have to go out, especially if you live in a big city. We’ll know much more by tomorrow about how this will all play out.

Up here it’s beautiful. James stopped by on his way home from his ranch as he leaves for California for two weeks tomorrow. He has a big on line benefit concert on Zoom in a week or so. He’ll get back the day before Thanksgiving and will spend the holiday here with us. Ty is at Preston’s in Vail and Harley goes to Utah tomorrow for 5 days of follow up training.

Jag is doing well and I might see him today as I am in Longmont around noon. I need to get snow tires on the cars this week as well. Snow coming this Sunday here and down in the city.

So, be well, keep your powder dry and watch your top knot! Look those sayings up if you don’t know what they mean, and may God Bless you and the U.S.A. I fear after this election, no matter who wins, our Country will never be the same.

Thankfully tomorrow all the political smears and lies, also known as ads, stop. I stopped listening to them weeks or even months ago but they sure are annoying. They’re boarding up cities across the Country anticipating problems after the election.

Ty made it home around 7 last night. After we went to the gym in the morning we decided to put up our Christmas tree. After tweaking it all day, it looks perfect! No ornaments on it yet but it’s ready to go.

I’ve had allergies most of the week. No fever or anything, just a stuffy nose. Jag has a little sore throat too. Time for chicken soup and vitamin C. It was a beautiful day yesterday and is supposed to stay that way until the weekend. Lori leaves Thursday to see her mom. Timing is good if you don’t count the virus and the election and the weather, ha. She’ll be back Sunday.

Two more kids at Ty’s school have covid. We might just keep him home this week, just in case.

Last, the Broncos had an epic comeback to win the game yesterday. Tommy and I must have texted 50 times and were both in shock at the win. What a game, God Bless.
