A Year of Change

More snow, again not a lot, but enough to ice up the roads. Think we get a break until Wednesday night, then another blast. This morning Ty and I are running down to the doctor before school to see if he’s cleared from his concussion. He seems to be coming down with a cold, ugh. He went to Batman last night and said it was really good.

Lori went and saw her mom yesterday. She had to unpack a bunch of stuff as Dixie thought she was house sitting for someone and was getting ready to go home. Then she took a nap and woke up at 5pm thinking it was morning.

Cloudy outside right now with maybe a couple of inches at most. Not sure it’ll warm up enough to melt until tomorrow.

Latest rumor is Putin has terminal cancer. That might not be good as then he really doesn’t care what he does. Hope this mess gets straightened out soon. Time to go, be well, stay safe and take care. God Bless.

No snow this morning. So far, it’s missed us. The sky is pretty much blue up high so we’re hoping we luck out.

Ukraine is still a mess. One interesting development, covid seems to have vanished! Haven’t heard anything about it or seen that nut Fauci since the war started. Even Worldwide on the news, it’s hard to find anyone wearing a mask or any mention of it. Hmm.

James made it home yesterday and we hung out for a bit. He might come over for dinner with us tonight for a home cooked meal. Good trip for him. He brought me back some swag from the tour and a cool lighter from the cigar shop in San Francisco. The three of us go hunting Wednesday for pheasants.

Might take Lori to the range today. Steve placed third in the match down at Cameo yesterday. He has the Arizona State Championships next weekend.

Kind of boring with no football going on. In a week or so free agency will pick up. Tom knows the exact dates, think it’s like the 14th or something.

That’s it, keep your cars and trucks full! Better safe than sorry. God Bless.

Ok, it did snow. Not a lot, maybe an inch or an inch and a half. They say more tomorrow but we’re hoping it’s not too much. Lori went to pick Ty up at lacrosse around 7:30last night and the roads were pretty bad. Not sure if Denver was hit or not. Jag said it was still nice around 8 last night in Boulder.

Marty and I picked up James, Castor’s, Marty’s and my elk racks from the taxidermist yesterday afternoon. They look nice. No place to hang it though. Guess it can go in the garage with the other four guys.

I think Ty is cleared for lacrosse, so he’ll start practicing this week. A bunch of elk just strolled into the yard. They paw through the snow to get to the grass. Weather doesn’t bother them a bit.

Should head out to the gym but I worked out really hard yesterday. Might take a break today, still deciding. That’s it, have a good weekend, God Bless.

All’s good on the farm. Should be a good year. All seeds, boxes, fertilizer and everything else needed is ready to go. The only thing we’re short on is mason jars for some canning. Think we found a pallet in Denver.

Snow tomorrow and Sunday. We might be in the eye of the storm and will hopefully end up with not as much as the surrounding areas.

Rumor has it that we might get hit with some cyber-attacks from Russia. I talked with Annette yesterday who said Serena had even heard about it. Glad to hear people are aware. Anything can happen at any time, always best to be prepared.

Oh, breaking news! Looks like the vaccines were not really all that good for you after all. Surprise surprise. Apparently they do change your DNA as quick as 6 hours after being vaccinated and they exasperate, or make worse, any disease in your body, dormant or not. This explains all the people we know who suddenly came down with cancer or diabetes or something else after getting the shot. This should surprise no one as almost everything the govt. has ever told you is good for you, is bad. I pray this doesn’t have mass consequences for everyone and as is somewhat isolated. Of course, if you’re one of the people affected, it doesn’t matter how few people there are. Point here is, question authority. I said all along, just because someone tells you something or worse yet, you see it on tv, that doesn’t mean it’s true. God help us.

I’m headed to the gym and not going into politics today. No point, nothing’s changed. Our leaders are still inept, and Eastern Europe is still a mess. Think I’m headed to the range today. Was maybe going to Denver today but will probably go Monday.

Hope everyone is well, take care, be safe and God Bless.

Off this morning to work on the farm. In a few months we’ll have fresh vegetables being harvested weekly. It’ll be nice to have fresh food that is locally grown with zero pesticides. We’re going to sell shares to people on a limited basis with the extra we have after we all take what we want. Right now, we’re looking at delivery up valley twice a month. Food, especially fresh grown food, is at an all-time high and in huge demand right now. I suspect the way things are going in the World and with the supply chains, things are only going to get tougher to get.

Lori is at home today while Ty has school and Jag is working away at school. We hope Jag comes up this weekend, but the weather is supposed to turn Saturday so we’ll see. Hopefully this is one of the last weekends with snow but don’t count on it.

Biden and his band of dummies are frankly unbelievable. The World is abandoning Russia and Biden acts like we’re leading the charge, yet we’re actually following Europe’s lead. The other day we finally decided to follow Europe in banning flights. We’re also still buying 700,000 barrels of oil from them each day! All he has to do is restart the Keystone pipeline and allow drilling and we’d easily produce 1 million barrels of oil a day here at home. But he’s beholding to the progressive wing of his party for some reason. Say what you will about Trump, but we were energy independent and in fact had a surplus and sold oil on the open market. What really kills is we’re at the table with Russia and Iran negotiating letting Iran have a nuclear weapon. Are you kidding me? You think Putin is unstable, wait until Iran gets the bomb. Don’t know about you but our family is at Defcon 4 meaning prepare for just about anything to happen on any day. Now whenever we leave home, we make sure we have a get home bag with us no matter where we go. Can’t get much worse. Enough said on this.

So nice yesterday with the temperature around 60 degrees! A couple more days until the snow comes back. Marty and I had lunch yesterday. Good to catch up with him. James is back Monday, and we go hunting Wednesday. Time to move. Had a good shoulder workout yesterday. I’ve never been stronger in my life. Make it a great day, get ready for anything. Take care and God Bless.

Lori and I made it to Denver to get her car and made a few other stops. By 1 or so we were headed up the hill. As soon as we left the dealer we turned around and went back as her tire pressure gage was reading low! Turns out they needed to reset it, hmm. We were home by 4 and then went to work around the house. Lori then went to see Dixie, who called 30 minutes after she left asking when Katie was coming home to sleep. She sometimes calls Lori Katie who was her sister. She thought she was at her grandmother’s house. So sad as things are a little worse every day. It’s hard on Lori more than anyone.

Ty went to a hockey game and was home by 10. He has late start today and still has a bad headache. We need a fresh start with Spring right around the corner. Hasn’t been a great start to the year with all going on in the World and Ty’s wreck. Jag had a final last night. Hard to believe he’s out on April 28th! We’re trying to go to Arizona March 18th, we’ll see.

Time to go as I’m working out at 7 and it’s 6:10. Marty has an appointment in Edwards at 11:30 and Ty has to be at school by 12 so we’re having lunch. Tomorrow I’m in Grand Junction working on the farm to table deal we have going. Fresh veggies are at a premium these days with all going on.

Take care, be safe and God Bless.

Happy March! Spring will be here soon. Thank God.

Yesterday was a busy day. I stocked up on some pantry items, 100 pounds of dog food and some cleaning supplies. Today we’re running down to pick up Lori’s car. Things are going to get worse before they get better with this whole Ukraine thing. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Putin won’t stop and certainly won’t quit.

Ty has a concussion. He met with the athletic trainer yesterday and has to meet with her daily for the next week. The next few days should be warm. Hopefully the worst of winter is over.

Time to get moving. We slept in as it’s 6:30 now. Hope to be back by mid-afternoon. God Bless.

Last day of February. Hopefully the snow is starting to fade but they say March is the snowiest month of the year. A lot should melt in the next three days.

Ty’s doing ok. I think they’re going to give him a ticket for not yielding but we’ll see. They think he turned on a green light and not an arrow even though he and the other car said there was an arrow. Something with the timing on the light and the arrow timing out. He should not have spoken to the police at the accident site. We’ll see. In any case, he’ll be without a vehicle for some time.

Lori made it home safe. We went to see Dixie and took her a bunch of things Lori brought back from California. She remembered a bunch of stuff from photos Lori borught.

I need to get a few orders in today to close the month. Lori’s car is getting fixed, and we might go get it at noon or else it’ll be Thursday.

Putin is now talking nukes. That would not be good. Hope cooler heads prevail. Nuclear war ends the World as we know it. Pretty obvious. Time to go, God Bless.

Last night at 7, I received a call from Ty saying he was in an accident. After listening and going back and forth, it was clear I needed to jump in the car and head his way. About half-way there, I spoke with Ty who said the ambulance wanted to take him to the hospital. I told him I’d meet him there. Before I get to the details, Ty’s ok. He does have a bunch of bumps and bruises and a concussion but should be fine with rest.

Now to the accident, Ty was turning at a light when he was broadsided by a suburban type of vehicle that was an Uber. Ty said he had an arrow and so did other people at the scene, but the Uber passenger said they had a green light. The State Patrol hasn’t given anyone a ticket but Ty, who has a concussion, isn’t totally clear on all the events but is adamant he had a green arrow. The cop isn’t sure what happened. Hope they don’t give Ty a ticket. The truck is smashed on the passenger side and on the driver’s side too as it was pushed into another car. Airbags went off and we’re lucky no one was seriously hurt, including Ty’s friend in the front passenger seat. We’ll no more today after Ty wakes up. I just checked on him at 5 am and his head hurts but he seems ok. He did have x-rays and a CT scan just to make sure he had no bleeding in his brain. What a mess but the important thing is Ty is ok. I need to call his friends parents today to check on Nick.

Before that the day was busy with some cleaning, work and exercise. Lori is flying home at 9 this morning and will arrive in Eagle a little after 2. I had her car picked up around 11am and it’s in Denver at the dealer. I went from three cars in the driveway to one in 12 hours!

The World is protesting the invasion of Ukraine. Not sure it’ll stop Putin, but I hope so. The last thing we all need right now is some kind of war. What a shit show. 5:41 am now and I have about 5 hours sleep. I’m too wound up to go back to sleep so I might as well go to the gym. March 1st in less than 48 hours, wow.

That’s it, enough excitement for one day, right? Make it a great day and God Bless.

Next week it’ll be in the 60’s! That means the great melt will be on. Lots of snow with nowhere to go. Most of our grass hasn’t seen sunshine since early December. It’ll be even warmer in Denver with temps hitting the 70’s.

This morning I’m off to the gym and then around 11, the tow truck from Denver will arrive to pick up Lori’s car to take it to the dealer. She has some more cleaning to do today in California and then comes home tomorrow. She had a fun lunch with her 9th grade volleyball team yesterday. Happy she and the girls managed to get it together to meet. Today Annette is driving up from Stockton to see her.

Ty cleaned the house yesterday and was going to stay at Sonny’s but rolled in around 2:30 in the morning. I’ll let him sleep in today. Maybe he and I can go to town or something this afternoon. Maybe we’ll go to Glenwood.

I met up with Jag yesterday and we grabbed some lunch before I took him to Costco and dropped $500 on food. He then went and saw Tommy for a bit. I made it home pretty quick as there was little to no traffic in the afternoon. Nice change. I stopped at a couple stores after hitting the distributor while down there and grabbed a few essentials that you just can’t find up here. I’m always on the hunt for things we need.

Robi and Robert are in Nashville for his birthday, fun. We have some deer bedded down under the trees in the backyard. You don’t want to stress them out as they need to retain all the calories they can.

Time to go. Be well, stay safe and God Bless.
