New phones

Yesterday after stopping at the distributor and dropping off my truck, I headed to the phone store to switch our old cracked phones for new ones. Phone companies are such a racket these days so you need to study up on the latest offers and work the deals to your advantage. Only problem with this is that it takes a good 3 hours to do so. I finally finished up around 2 and was supposed to get the kids at 3:15 so I had to drive straight up the hill after stopping at the dry cleaner.

Today it’s more of the same. Both Lori and I have had twitches in our eyes which is probably from not enough sleep. The dog woke me at 4:15am from climbing on the couch and sitting on a phone which made it go off the hook and start beeping. Then I couldn’t get back to sleep so I’m sure it’ll be another tired day.

Guess I’ll run. Have a good day.

Total Mobility

We had rain last night and some snow up high. It’s a little cooler outside this morning and supposed to be a bit colder tomorrow.

It’s 6am and this morning I have to run down to Denver as I have a recall on our truck that needs to be fixed. I’m going to try to see my Mom but we’ll see how the morning goes as I need to run to the distributor to pick up some samples.

Yesterday Ty started basketball and Jag had lots of homework. He still has some to do as I just went downstairs and his lights were on, and his books and computer open on his bed. He had a rough night with lots to do and was a bit overwhelmed. Ty did receive 91% on his history test which is a great score.

Both kids phones have cracked screens and are busted so I need to stop at the phone store today. We’re so sick of all electronics and social media. Trust me, it will be the downfall of society. We’re already seeing this with sites like Farcebook being used to insight mob violence across the Country. Plus they’re censoring one candidate and promoting another. And of course, the stupid, naive public, falls for it hook, line and sinker. People are so gullible and easily led. What a joke.

Today’s post name, Total Mobility, is what our trainer at the gym calls my workout. It’s all about hip flexors and glutes and hamstrings and the largest muscle groups in your body as they’re all tied together. If your back hurts, it can have something to do with your lower calf muscle. Your glutes (butt) are the largest muscle in your body yet nobody pays any attention to them. Now I lift a lot of weights, and heavy weights, yet yesterday for 90 minutes I worked out without a single weight and was so beat and more sore than I’ve ever been. Every part of my body is sore but it’s a good sore. I’m trying to strengthen my back and core which is the main reason for focusing on this type of workout. As you get older, mobility and balance are the key to health. Wish me luck!

Lori just came down for coffee. A patient woke us up at 5;30 thinking he was leaving a message on her office phone which rings through to her cell. Time to get moving, hope everyone is doing well, God Bless.

Oh well, everyone loses a game

Well, we didn’t win but for our rookie quarterbacks first start in front of the home crowd, it wasn’t all as bad as it seemed. The offensive line did a pretty bad job letting our qb get sacked 6 times. We still had fun but did leave with about 6 minutes to go to beat the crowds. We’re still one of the top teams in the league and our defense is still our defense so time to look forward to this Thursday when we play again.

Then we have the debate. Again it just shows how bad our choices are. At least this time Trump called Hillary out and fought back. She’s a liar and a schemer and the voters according to this mornings polls see that.

We have a busy week and I think it’s going to snow. Not sure when but it will snow. Time to run as we overslept again as we were all tired. Have a great week, GB

Go Broncos!

After a long day in Denver, Jag, his buddy Ethan, his dad and me will head out around 9:30 this morning for the big game. We’re going to Elways for brunch which is kind of a tradition before any big game. Lori and I are supposed to go to a big corporate tailgate where our friends Jeff and Tina are going to be, but after the long drive to and from Denver yesterday, her back is sore so she decided to stay home.

Ty’s team won their soccer game 4 to 1! This means they’ll play again next weekend. If they would have lost, the season would have been over. Ty didn’t score yesterday but played a really good game. While Jag, Lori and I then headed off to Denver for basketball, Ty stayed at Sonny’s and you guessed it, spent the night. Jag’s team won one game, lost one by 3 points and the other by about 20. The one they lost by 20 was against a bunch of 17 and 18 year olds who were obviously much better. Our guys hung tough though and one of the other teams guys fouled out and another was thrown out so they played the last 5 minutes with 4 guys and basically just killed the clock. We made it home about 7:45.

Our neighbor Morgan took Mojo for a long walk and helps out when we’re gone to Denver for the day. This way he’s not stuck in the house for 8 hours.

Lori will pick up Ty around 10:30 this morning so he can come home and study for a test tomorrow. Kristin is up visiting Dixie and bought her an Ipad so she can Face Time with Lori and the boys. Thank God I don’t have an Iphone, Ha.

Hard to believe it’s October 9th. The year will soon be over, something like 80 some days left. But today it’s all about the Denver Broncos! Have a great day,God Bless, and Go Broncos!

Off to Denver, after soccer

Today we have a busy day, soccer and then basketball. Last night Sonny spent the night and this morning, they’ll both head to soccer at 9am. After the game we’ll head to Denver for 3 basketball ball games. I know I told you all this yesterday but it’s just a reminder as to what’s going on.

Lori had a long day at work. My client and his son from Texas had enough of our Colorado weather after spending one night in temperatures below zero. They broke camp early in the morning and headed to Edwards for some fly fishing while Lori arranged for a second night in the hotel at a great rate.

I picked Jag up at school around noon as he was done for the day and just had study hall. Yesterday when we were leaving, we noticed the police showing up. Turns out the bubble within the bubble has been popped. Up here in Vail, at our school, someone found a bullet on the floor inside the school. I don’t know what caliber it was and with all the hunters and it being hunting season, it could just be an innocent accident. Our Headmaster though, not taking any chances, called in the police and took other measures to make sure all the kids were safe. Hopefully we’ll know more next week and as I said, hopefully it was an accident.

The boys and I went down to our Churches open house for Youth Group. It looked pretty fun for the kids and I think they’ll go on Wednesday night to check it out. The Youth Pastor seemed like a pretty good guy and there were lots of kids. I left it up to the boys whether or not they want to go or not but they both said, they’d like to go check it out. As a parent you don’t want to force religion, or sports or anything on your kids but you should at least expose them to it and give them the choice.

The election is a mess again. Hard to believe it could get any worse. Now you have recordings of Trump acting like a frat boy talking about women a dozen years ago, and Hillary’s speeches to all those investment banks were hacked and released. Man is she a freakin liar. She’s desperately trying to shift the attention to him but what she said is really disturbing. In short, she said, and I quote, “you have to have a public policy and then a private policy”. Wow, what this clearly means is that you tell us one thing and then do another, or basically, you tell the public (us) what we want to hear and then do something else in private. Super, how can you vote for that? Then the Donald, while on a soap opera set, is talking to another guy about liking to kiss and grope, and sleep with women. Now in fairness, he’s not saying anything any guy didn’t think or say in college, but then again, we were in college. Oh boy, what a mess. It’s really sad that these are the two choices we have, what a joke, and in 2016, Still though, I have to vote for him over her although I wish Mike Pence would take over the nomination.

Guess I’ll run, time to get the kids moving and feed them something before the game. Have a great weekend and be safe, GB

Time to relax, maybe just a little

After a busy week, today I have a conference call in the morning and then am going to try to knock off for the rest of the day. I was in Denver from about 1:30 until 4:30 when I then had to rush home to pick the kids up at school around 6pm. We didn’t have a way to get them picked up at 3:30 as Lori was stuck at the office so it was up to me to get up the hill as fast as I could. They hung out and did homework until I could get there. We then all went to sushi for dinner as by that time it was too late to cook at home.

Tomorrow Ty has a soccer game at 9:15 and then Jag has 3 basketball games in Denver at 2:00, 3:00 and 4:40pm. We should be done with these by a bit before 6 and then will head home. Sunday we’re headed down for the football game, whoo hoo, should be a good one.

My client from Texas made it up here ok and I sent him off around 11am to the campground at 9000 feet with his son. I gave him some warm sleeping bags, a couple of bundles of firewood, some bear spray and a bottle of bourbon. Hopefully they didn’t get too cold last night. It should be warmer tonight.

Guess that’s it, think I’ll run as it’s almost 6am and Ty has one more make up test this morning so he needs to get up early. Hope all’s well, take care and GB.

Snow on the ground

It’s back, snow that is. Outside we have an inch or so on the ground and it’s snowing hard and cold on the passes. They say we’ll have a good 6 inches or more up high. The roads are closed right now but should open soon. As you know, I’m supposed to be in Denver from 1 until 8pm today. First up though, I need to wait for my client and his 13 year old son from Texas who are supposed to go camping up by Leadville. Boy will it be cold up there.

Guess it’s raining in Denver now but by late this afternoon it’s supposed to clear out. This weekend they say it’ll be in the 70’s which is good for the football game. We can’t wait as it’ll be a good one.

Everyone is fine, but busy. Time to get moving as again, we have lots to do. Oh wait, you have to see this. Hillary got caught planting a 15 year old girl in an audience and then having her ask Hillary a question. Anyone with any brains could see this was all staged and thankfully they caught her. People, everything she says and does is scripted, like the movie Wag the Dog. It’s all a hoax designed to make you think she cares about you and is something she’s not. Wake up before it’s too late. Check this out.

Hillary Caught Using Child Actor At Pennsylvania Town Hall

Tyler Durden's picture

TwitterFacebookReddit

At a Hillary Clinton town hall yesterday in Haverford, Pennsylvania, a 15 year old girl was supposedly “chosen at random” to ask a question of the former Secretary of State.  But, the well-scripted performance raised some suspicion with a YouTuber namedSpanglevision who decided to dig a little deeper.  And, wouldn’t you know it, the “random” participant was none other than child actor, Brennan Leach, whose father just happens to be Pennsylvania democratic State Senator Daylin Leach.  Oh, and in case it wasn’t obvious, Daylin supports Hillary for president…shocking.

So, here was the original question from Brennan:

Brennan:

“Hi Madam Secretary.  I’m Brennan and I’m 15 years old.  At my school, body image is a really big issue for girls my age.  I see with my own eyes the damage Donald Trump does when he talks about women and how they look.  As the first female president how would you undo some of that damage and help girls understand that they’re so much more than just what they look like?”

And here was Hillary’s attempt at knocking the soft ball out of the park…it’s almost like she knew the question was coming.

Hillary:

“I’m so proud of you for asking that question. You are right — my opponent has just taken this concern to a new level of difficulty and meanness.  And, it’s shocking when women are called names and judged solely on the basis of physical attributes.

 

“My opponent insulted Miss Universe. I mean, how do you get more acclaimed than that?  But, it wasn’t good enough. So we can’t take any of this seriously any more. We need to laugh at it. We need to refute it. We need to ignore it. And we need to stand up to it.”

Here is the full analysis from Spanglevision.  Among other things, he points out that Brennan is the only participant of the night who reads her question from a prepared script.

 

And, of course, as pointed out by Spanglevision, the mainstream media couldn’t get enough of the adorable young girl and her “brave” question.

Unbelievable, she’s playing you, if in fact you support her. Good God people, this is our kids future were talking about, not yours, do the right thing, vote for change!

God Bless

Overslept

It’s 6:32 and we just woke up. I sort of have a sore throat which I’m hoping doesn’t turn into something worse. We all have lots going on today and this week so no one can afford to get sick. Lori did get her flu shot yesterday at work and the boys and I will go get ours sometime in the next couple weeks.

Tomorrow I have my client and his 13 year old coming in from Texas to go camping. I told him yesterday to just go for 2 nights and then check into a hotel in Vail for the 3rd night. He thought that was a good idea so I asked Lori to book him a room for Saturday as she gets a deal as she’s “The Steadman Clinic”.

Today I’ll run up to the campground to check it out. They’ll be going to Camp Hale near Leadville where it’ll be cold for sure. That’s where the famous 10th Mountain Division from WWII trained before going to Europe. They were the soldiers on skis and a couple of them actually founded Vail after the war. It’s a neat place being history and all.

Time to get moving as again, lots to do. I’m so sick of the candidates exploiting people to make ads. They even use kids, especially Hillary, she has no shame. I can’t wait until this is over. One thing is for sure, no matter who wins, half the Country will hate the winner. Even so, we have to vote for Trump as one has a history of criminal activity while the other has just said outrageous things. Hold on, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. GB

Snow on the pass

Yesterday we had snow falling for most of the afternoon. It was sort of blowing sideways but not really sticking. The news this morning though, the news shows snow on the ground on the pass at the tunnel. Of course that’s above 11,000 feet. But don’t worry, it’ll creep down to us before you know it. Time to get the snow boots out of storage.

This morning the kids will go to school early as Ty is working with his history teacher on a make up test. It’s hard when either kid misses any time as they do so much these days.

I have a client with his 13 year old son coming in from Texas to go camping Thursday through Sunday. He has no gear so I’m setting him up with the help of our neighbor who is loaning me all the gear. Also on Thursday I have a tasting from 1 until 8pm in Denver, uggh. So it’s a busy busy day. Hope my client is ready for some cold weather as it’ll probably be snowing in Leadville where they’ll be camping.

I need to run as lots going on, take care and GB.

Go Broncos!

The Denver Broncos are the only undefeated team in the AFC. It was a great game and we enjoyed watching it as usual. Funny how something like a football game can make you forget the mess the World is in.

Today we all have lots to do. School, work, sports, make up tests and more. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to change to rain and maybe snow. Being October 3rd, anything can happen.

Lori and I took a walk into town yesterday before the game just to get out. Her back has been out for a couple of days like mine and walking always helps. We were only in town for about an hour but it was nice to get out.

It’s 5:18am now and I’m headed to the gym in 30 minutes. The kitchen needs a little cleaning as it seems the boys always need a snack late at night after we go to bed.

Guess I’ll run as I have the football channel on. It’s about the only channel that doesn’t show non stop political ads. By the way, take all those ads knowing they’re all only half true at best. Every candidate has their ads obviously favor them and trash their opponent by stretching the truth or sometimes just flat out lying. Every single candidate will say and do almost anything to get elected. Sadly this has proven to be worse on the democratic side which is understandable as they have history to lie their way out of. Think about it, can you name anything Hillary stands for or said she’s going to do to make your life better? I’ll bet you can’t as her plan is just to trash Trump and say how bad he is rather than what she’s going to actually do. In fairness to her, she has to do this as she has no record to run on and the only way she can win is by tearing him down. It’s a sad state when this is what our Presidential election has come down to. That’s it, I’m off to the gym, GB
