A Year of Change

This morning, I have a garage full of Beanie Babies, and a basement full of sports memorabilia, thanks to Uncle Tommy. Ty is thrilled, and so is Tom, who is trying to clean out his house! Ty is already planning out his man cave. All he needs now is a house! We told him we’d help with a down payment if he made the payments. He should jump all over that. First though, he needs to pay off his truck.

Lori’s Porsche’s right front tire has a slow leak. I need to get a compressor this morning to fill it up and then I’ll take it to get it fixed. She’s staying home today as Dr. B is at a conference in Snowmass and she’s still kicking her cold. I am too but am a lot better.

More shootings in lovely Denver. This is directly related to the elected people down there. You don’t see this shit happening in Florida do you.

Think I’ll get moving so I can run to Home Depot for a compressor and then hit the gym and then stop and see Ty. Take care, have a great day and God Bless.

Finally feeling better. Problem is, Lori now has what I had, ha. I did drive down to the hospital yesterday to pick her up a Z-pak at the pharmacy. I made it through my cold with fresh ginger and lemon water for a week. Also took lots of zinc and Vitamin C. Hopefully Lori is feeling better today or tomorrow.

Ty went down to Denver to meet Tommy who is working on cleaning out his old house so he can get it on the market. He gave Ty a bunch of old sports memorabilia and Beanie Babies. He has a bunch of rock and roll stuff for Jagger too. So nice of him to give this stuff to the boys as they’ll cherish it forever. Funny how stuff like that that we accumulate over the years doesn’t seem so important when we get older. I have a bunch of that kind of stuff too. Problem is no one will give you anything for your stuff anymore. Take antiques, we’ve been paying to store mom’s for over 5 years and can’t give them away. I literally have to pay someone to take them to the dump. Funny how things change, but again, the boys will love this stuff. It’s like it’s all getting a second life.

Ty stayed at his buddy Jude’s last night. I let him go to the western wear store and buy some stuff. He got a pair of jeans, a vest and a jacket. I told him to buy Jude a jacket and a pair of jeans too. Jude has been working since high school as his mom had some health issues and is a single parent. He had a rough childhood and is a really good kid who works hard to take care of himself and his mom. I just wanted to help him out a bit. He was super thankful as I knew he would be.

Jag flies home tonight from California. I’m sure it was fun. It warmed up yesterday and will be warmer again today. Looks like a nice warm week headed our way.

Think I feel good enough to get to the gym this morning. I’ve only been once in the past week, so I need to get in there. I did manage to get my haircut yesterday on the way back from the pharmacy.

Lori just woke up. It’s 6:30 now. Time to go give her a hug and see how she’s feeling. Have a great last Sunday of February. Take care, be well and stay safe and God Bless.

Nice outside. Blue sky and warm temps. Should be a good week.

Last night we had Tim and Taylor, and Marty and Melanie for dinner. Tim and Taylor are our friends who are married and a singing duo that live here nine months of the year and play in Nashville or other places the other 3 months. They’re really good people, who are just like us. Check them out on Spotify, they have a few albums out and are really good.

Jag and Ava are doing well in California. Ty has weekends off now, which is nice for him. Not sure what we’re doing today. Tim and Taylor are playing tonight in Vail, and we thought about going but I need to kick this cold once and for all. Lori has a bit of a sore throat coming on anyhow, I think.

Now Colorado Dems are trying to pass an ammo restriction bill saying you need to be 21 to buy ammo. So, let’s get this straight, you can vote, and go to war, and be tried as an adult if you commit a crime but can’t be trusted to buy ammo for your gun. They’re also spending time passing a J6 bill condemning something. As a reminder, J6 was over 4 years ago! We are so fucked up as a State right now with all Dems in charge. Hopefully Pam Bondi and President Trump will save Colorado as everything they’re passing is unconstitutional. It’s really unbelievable.

7am now, so time to go. Hope everyone has a good last weekend of February. Enjoy and be safe, God Bless.

Last night we had less than an inch of snow. Nothing to talk about. Should be in the 40’s this afternoon, and then the big warmup is on the way. Denver looks like it has 4 or 5 inches so far. It’ll end soon and warm up down there too.

We’re having Marty and Mel, and Tim and Taylor over for dinner, but we might cancel. I’m not contagious, supposedly, but still am coughing crap up. Don’t want to get anyone sick, especially Tim and Taylor as they sing daily for a living. You sure couldn’t sing with my voice right now, unless you sang some raspy old songs, ha. We’ll let them know and let them make the call.

It’s trash and recycle day. I have some boxes to break down and put out. Lori wants to go to the gym. I can go but not sure if I will.

Things are getting better, at least in people’s minds. It’ll take a while for the changes happening in D.C. to filter down to the people, but how anyone can argue against stopping wasteful spending is beyond me. It’s like we’re in the kitchen, and all the dishes are broken and laying on the floor, and you can’t put them back together. All you can do is clean up the mess. This scares the shit out of the Dems and the establishment, as they’ve all been eating our food, so to speak. I’m all for abolishing the IRS in favor of tariffs! Talk about a game changer. Keep it up!

Almost 7am, time to get moving. Make it a great day and have a great weekend. God Bless.

Still trying to kick my head cold. I went to the gym and the dentist yesterday and stopped to see Ty, but otherwise, was just around the house. Lori made it home around 6:30. She’s in Vail today at 11 to run clinic which is not a normal thing. They added clinic today to get some extra patients in.

Looks like maybe 3 or 4 inches of snow coming tonight and tomorrow. It’s much colder in Denver than up here. Starting Saturday, it’ll be in the 50’s and 60’s for the foreseeable future. About time. It’s been a snowy February with Vail getting around 5 feet in the past two weeks. We get much less here in Eagle.

Jag and Ava landed in California last night around 10:30. It’s Ava’s cousin’s wedding. They’re very close as they were raised together. They’ll be back Sunday.

That’s about it, time to get moving. Have a great day, take care and God Bless.

Looks like they broke a record in Denver for cold temperatures. Also had some snow. Up here, we might have hit 35 or 40 yesterday for a moment. No new snow either. Should be warming up after today.

I’m kicking my cold. Looks like I dodged it as I haven’t really been sick. It’s just been an annoying stuffy nose and tinge of a sore throat.

Jag went to the dermatologist yesterday. I think Lori said he leaves today for one of Ava’s cousins’ weddings in California. Meanwhile, Ty’s working away, and I have a bunch of computer work to do. Lori is in Frisco today.

Big wins for the President yesterday when an Obama appointed judge ruled in favor of letting them go through all the records of all agencies to continue exposing the fraud and waste, and in some cases, criminal activity. The Dems are in panic mode, as they should be, as it’s all coming out. You can’t put the genie back in the bottle, as they say.

The Dem Colorado senate passed the most sweeping, illegal (it’ll get over turned) gun grab in U.S. history. It includes tons of restrictions and a gun registry which is illegal. Still, they did it. In the end, this might turn Colorado red again. Hope so.

Trump and Musk did an interview last night that debunked every single talking point the Dems have. Not sure how anyone can be against ending fraud and waste in the government. This is yours and my money being spent on crap that does nothing to make our lives better or help people. The Dem talking points, like they’re killing kids and grandma, are all just lies. Don’t fall for it, they’ve been lying to us for decades. wake up. Enough said.

Have a great day, God Bless.

Yesterday I hung around the house trying to kick my head cold. It’s really not that bad, just stuffed up a bit. Gives you a slight headache. I’m a little better this morning. Hopefully I’ll kick this today.

Last night, maybe around 4am, I heard the elk outside our window and then heard our resident pack of coyotes howling. Hard for them to bring down an elk as it’s a big herd and they’ll only go after a stray or sick one. Still, they’ll howl at them.

No new snow up here. Looks like Denver got hit with some and cold temps. I-70 is closed at the tunnel so no one from Denver is headed up here. Lori is in Vail today and Frisco tomorrow.

Jag has an 8:30am appointment at the dermatologist this morning and Ty works at 7. Think I’ll try to go to the gym this morning. I have a slight headache as I said, but that’s about it. I’ll see if I can work through it.

That’s it, time to get moving, 5:44am now. Have a great day and God Bless.

Not much snow last night but it is icy outside. I just finished shoveling the driveway and warming up the truck. I’m skipping the gym this morning as I have a little bit of a stuffed-up nose. Lori works in Vail today.

Last night, Jennifer and Gary showed up around 6 for dinner. They’re really nice and we had a blast. She had cancer for the last two years but seems to be in remission. Anyone who goes through something like that, has a much better appreciation for life. Makes all of our problems not so big afterall.

Harley was really well behaved, and they hung out until maybe 8:30 or 9.

Ty had an epic day at Beaver Creek. There is a snowboarder missing up here since Friday as he went out of bounds alone. You never do this, especially without an avalanche beacon and locator. Not sure if they were local or not. All I know is the person was 26 years old. Senseless way to go out.

Eleven days left until March! Spring will soon be here. Time flies. They say a little more snow before tomorrow morning. We’ll see. Have a great Monday and holiday, God Bless.

Looks like one more round of snow. Could be another ten inches, if the weather channel is right. The next 48 hours could be snowy. Next Saturday looks warm, so we have that to look forward to.

Tonight, Jennifer, Gary and our friend Melissa, who is here visiting and staying with them, are coming for dinner at 5:30. Gary and Jennifer live in Florida but also have a home here. They’re the ones that hosted the New Years Eve party we went to.

Yesterday we were around the house until around 2 when I dropped Lori in Edwards to get her nails done. I met up with Mark for a cigar while she was getting all pretty. Earlier in the morning, after the gym, we dropped Ty his snowboard gear. I think he’s headed to the mountain today. It was sort of a wet, rainy snow yesterday, with low visibility.

The Dems and leaders from around the World, are freaking out. JD Vance called out World leaders at the Munich Security Conference, saying mass immigration and the censorship of free speech are ruining the World. Apparently they didn’t like hearing the truth. In countries like the UK and France, people have gone to prison for silently standing outside places like abortion clinics, praying. Others have been sent to prison for misgendering someone or posting a meme on social media. In Scotland, there’s a safe space zone where you can’t pray in your own home, and neighbors are encouraged to report people who do! What the hell is going on. I predict the people will rise up all led by America, and the leaders (which in fact are leaders by their own design rather than representatives of the people which is what was intended), see their power slipping away. That’s the reason the Dems are all against Elon. It’s because he’s exposing how they were all on the take. None of them are disputing the fraud, waste and outright theft of our tax dollars, they’re just protesting him finding it. Lots of people should go to jail, and hopefully they will. Thank God for President Trump. The machine is running scared with the top internet searches in DC being “top defense lawyer”, and things like “how to scrub hard drives”, etc. They’re not going to give up their power easily. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s another attempt to take him out. I personally believe higher power will protect him. Karma is a bitch.

Robi and Bobby are in Dallas. They sent a picture yesterday and are at the Drovers again in Ft. Worth. They’re going to see Billy for a couple days.

Well, that’s it for today. 7am now. Have a great Sunday and God Bless.

Shoveled twice yesterday and will be out there again this morning. This is by far the most snow of the season. That’s ok though, I don’t mind the workout, and we can always use the water.

We had the entire herd of deer in the yard most of the afternoon. Lori gives them apples and carrots, so of course they hang around. I put Davy’s trash out for him yesterday morning on the way to the gym and we had a couple hundred elk right out front. They work their way up the valley from time to time.

Lori made some chili yesterday and we’ll be eating it through the weekend. Ty’s going snowboarding today as he texted at 4am asking if I’d bring his gear up valley when I go to the gym. He might be going to Denver tomorrow or Monday. I talked to Tommy who texted the boys to come get the Beanie Baby’s and rock and roll stuff from his old house. Jag has a really busy week, so I told him to call Ty and ask him to grab it all as it’ll all be coming to our house anyhow. Tom wants to get his house cleaned out so he can get it on the market by April. I told him I’d help him if he needed it.

The sun is coming up so time to get outside. I shovel in gym shorts and a down coat so if it’s cold, I come in and warm up every 15 minutes or so. Guess I could just put on long pants, but that seems like too much work, ha. Looks like snow on and off until Wednesday. Lucky I go to the gym!

Have a nice weekend. Monday is a holiday. God Bless.
