A Year of Change

We have a three day weekend coming up, and boy can we use it. It was so warm in Denver yesterday it felt like I was in Arizona. I think it’s going to be cooler today but then hopefully it’ll warm up again. We need some snow to melt around here. I had a good lunch with Luke and Toby yesterday and picked Ty up on the way home. Then I went to James for cigar night. We’re going to watch the Raider game tomorrow at his house.

Lori worked from home and is doing so again today. Think we’ll go to the gym this morning when we drop Ty at school as his truck is gone for a couple weeks getting fixed.

Thank God the Supreme Court stopped Biden’s vaccine mandate yesterday. On top of that two democrat Senators said they won’t vote to abolish the filibuster which is also great news. Biden’s approval numbers are now about 30% which is lower than any President in history a year into office. It’s easy to see why but it’s great the rest of the Country feels the same way. Maybe there’s hope for us all yet.

The news just said 1600 people are in the hospital with covid. The caveat is they then said 2/3’s of them were admitted for something else. Let that sink in. Over 1000 of the 1600 people went to the hospital for some issue that required hospitalization but then they tested positive for covid while there! This means that there are a lot of people walking around with covid, like people do with a cold in the winter, but that wasn’t bad enough to send them to the hospital. Yet the government wants to take away your rights and make everyone get some vaccine when most people with the vid are not sick enough to require medical care. Knowing this you have to ask, why the big push for vaccine passports? It’s all about control. The Dems have even admitted this wanting to track where you go, what you do, how you spend your money and just about everything else about your life. New York just passed a law where they can survey people they deem crime risks based on their social media posts! This is like the movie Minority Report in the 90’s. They think they can predict what you will do based on your opinions or thoughts on things like politics. You can bet with Dems in power there, any conservative or independent thinking thoughts will be considered potentially bad and they’ll be watching you. Unbelievable.

Worse than all this are the shortages in the grocery stores and then if there is something you want, the prices of those goods are almost double. Last night as we were hanging out smoking cigars, this came up and from Whole Foods to City Market, to restaurants and hardware stores, there are shortages of things everywhere. This is not hard to find unusual things either, it’s basic things like yogurt, meat, canned goods, pasta, even eggs. Dairy was particularly hard hit at Whole Foods. Throw in the labor shortages and stores are having to close early. And Biden thinks things are going well.

Strange times, stock up while you can. I hit three stores yesterday to get basic vitamins we’re running short on. They were picked over too. After two Whole Foods in Denver and our store in Frisco, I managed to get what I wanted. The three bags of groceries I did buy that should have cost about $200 ran us $394!

Get ready, make a plan and get ahead of the everyone else before this becomes more and more obvious. Good luck, God Bless.

Headed to Denver today. Getting an oil change and having lunch with Toby and Luke. Lori tested negative but I’d bet Ty has the vid for sure. We need to try to keep him home today. Lori is home so she can take care of him.

Yesterday Biden hit a new low. He directly said if you don’t agree with him, you’re a racist and not an American. He went so far to tell Americans that don’t support his radical agenda that they are basically terrorists. WOW, so much for uniting the Country. You see the Dems are losing it as they know if they don’t pass this bill that gives them unchecked control, they’ll never get it for sure. So they lie, cheat, defame and do anything else to smear anyone who doesn’t agree with them. How sad. Record numbers of Dems are retiring as they either see the writing on the wall or don’t agree with the administration and are moving on. Hard to blame them.

I think things will get worse before they get better. They’re still ramming their vaccine mandates forward even though there is overwhelming proof the vaccinated get sick at least as much as the unvaccinated. It’s also proven the the Omi variant is not fatal like the previous versions. Yet they push for control. They want vaccine passports that control where you can go and what you can do. Then they’ll want to control your money and other facts of your life. Don’t fall for it. It’s their last ditch effort to get you to do as they say by telling you they can make decisions for you better than you can for yourself and that it’s for your own good. What a joke.

Time to move on. Thankfully most of the Country has had it with their crap and sees through this scam. Essentials are still missing from shelves and prices are skyrocketing. Be smart, no useless spending as cash is king. Pay down debt if you can and get your house in order.

Sorry for the rant. I’m telling myself all of the above as much as I’m telling you, ha. Hang in there and God Bless.

This morning Ty and I are headed to Glenwood to drop his truck to be fixed. Not sure how long they’ll have it, but it needs to get in. This afternoon the Dish TV guy comes to fix our tv’s. Lori is in Frisco and Ty has school from 12 to about 4.

I had a good two hour range session yesterday and went through probably six boxes training. It was too cold at 10 in the morning, so my buddy and I rescheduled for 2 in the afternoon. He’s off to Phoenix today for some work before heading up to Vegas for the annual Shot Show next week.

Biden is off his rocker as they say. He called Kamala President Harris again yesterday and is so mixed up it’s clear he isn’t all there. Everyone knows it yet they keep sending him out there with a script to read. Now there’s talk of Hillary running again. We’ve made politics so toxic, good people don’t want to run. God help us.

Time for coffee. Have a great day and God Bless.

Yesterday we didn’t get above 20 degrees! Hopefully today it’ll be warmer. We need some sun to help with the melting. Ty started off staying home but then had me take him around 11 to school. I think both he and Lori have the vid but there are no tests around. One of Lori’s P.A.’s tested positive yesterday afternoon after working all day with Lori and others. Hopefully Lori is still negative.

Lori needs to get a test this morning so we’ll see. Ty goes to school at 9. I need to wake him soon and see how he’s doing. Jag thought he was getting a bug but is all better as of yesterday. Time for this crap to end already.

We had the oven clock fixed yesterday and our Dish tv tomorrow. I’m back at the range today for some training. Should be done by noon.

Lots of places pushing mandates. Don’t fall for it. These guys will have us getting endless numbers of shots. Right now most people with Omi are vaccinated according to studies released in Germany and Europe. Hard to believe anything they tell us here in the U.S. As I said yesterday, to each their own.

Time to move. Make it a great day. God Bless.

Looks like a warm week. At least until the weekend. This is welcome news. Hopefully I’ll get the snow cleared out before the next storm.

Last night we had a blast at James house. The food was good but the game was great. Glad the Raiders won. Ty isn’t feeling well so we’ll check his temperature this morning before we take him to school.

Hopefully this week the flu or Omi or whatever it is will peak. Hard to believe we’re almost midway through the month. We have the fridge guy coming today and on Wednesday the tv guy. Lori with her amazing ability to fix just about anything, figured out how to get the football games on tv yesterday. We might be able to just stream all our shows and save $5000 a year on cable! Unbelievable that tv costs that much these days.

Shortages of just about everything are everywhere. This includes workers which for some reason are quitting jobs everywhere. This is mostly due to all the free money the govt. is sending out. Turns out covid cases have also been overstated everywhere and now the govt. is changing their tune as it isn’t good for their narrative. Apparently they’ve been inflated by over 50%. On top of that you have a sitting Justice of the Supreme Court caught saying Omicron is as bad as Delta which everyone knows is 100% false and also inflating figures of cases in kids saying there are 100,000 kids hospitalized. Even the CDC corrected her saying there are only 3500 kids nationwide and that Omi is way less severe than the Delta variant. Wow, she was only off 96.5%! Guess she was close, not! Not sure when being a Supreme Court judge also made you a medical doctor.

You don’t know what to believe anymore these days from anyone. There is way more things on tv not true than true. It’s not even close. Strange times we live in. Time to get moving. Think we’ll keep Ty home today even though he doesn’t have a fever as he feels like crap. Lori slept upstairs last night but also doesn’t have a fever. Good news. Make it a great week, hang in there and God Bless.

Yesterday afternoon after boarding Ty slid into a pole and crunched the whole front end of his truck, ugh. He wasn’t hurt as he was only going about 10 miles an hour. Just one of those things where he over corrected when coming around a corner. Nothing we can do except get it fixed. He will be without wheels for a couple weeks meaning we’ll need to drive him to and from school. Lori said lucky we didn’t get it fixed last week, ha.

The roads were bad in the early part of the day and in Vail most of the day. We had a few inches of snow in the morning, maybe 4 or so and then a dusting last night. I’m done with winter, double ha.

The sky is blue outside right now and if we can, we’ll take his truck to Glenwood and drop it at our collision place. Sadly they know us pretty well.

Tonight us guys are going to James’s house for the Raider Charger game. Should be fun. Lori rode home Wednesday and Thursday with her friend who she hired while at Steadman who now has covid. Lori tested negative yesterday, but we need to watch it. Funny how they are both vaccinated, have boosters and wear masks all day yet still she got the vid, hmm. Hope she didn’t bring it home to Ty and I.

Jag was a little under the weather too but doing well. They say next week cases are supposed to start dropping. Tom just texted the Bronco’s fired our coach. Thankfully we’ll have a fresh start and hopefully a new quarterback too. Nice guy but he was always in way over his head.

Time to get moving, God Bless.

7:30, just waking up. Sort of dark and gloomy outside with a rain snow mix. Lori is still sleeping. Ty was out until around midnight and is also sleeping. Doesn’t look like a good day for the mountain. Not long until the 17th when Ty turns 18, wow.

Lots of snow to shovel. It keeps sliding off the roof and yesterday I shoveled off the upstairs balcony and now have to shovel it out of the driveway where I threw it. No tv still so I’ll be missing football today. I was going to maybe drive to Tommy’s but this weather is kind of ugly as I said.

I was in Denver yesterday returning some stuff and going to the bank as we’re working on refinancing the house. Roads were fine but don’t really feel like making the drive again. Time to get moving so I can get to the gym. Enjoy the weekend, God Bless.

A little more snow headed our way tomorrow. Not sure how much, just some coming. I’m running down to Denver this morning and should be back early afternoon. Lori worked yesterday after all and Ty was home about 7 last night. I went to James house where four of us hung out for a couple hours. Our Direct TV dish went out somehow so Sunday I’m watching football at his house. They can’t get out here until next Wednesday. Good time to catch up on some reading.

Sort of cloudy outside right now. Supposed to be sunny today though. I had Ty going down tomorrow to get the truck serviced but it looks like with the snow we’ll postpone that trip. Time for me to get moving so I can be out the door in 45 minutes.

Stay safe, God Bless.

Some roads are closed, lots of businesses and even I-70, but not here! A big storm from Kansas to the mountains missed us, whoo hoo! We literally have a light dusting on the patio and that is it. Nice to miss this one. Nothing to shovel.

Ty has school today. He was feeling a little funky yesterday and doesn’t start until 9:30 so we’re letting him sleep a bit longer. He did get up early and hit the mountain before school yesterday as he had a late start at 12:30. Jag is in Boulder and doing fine. He stopped by Tommy’s yesterday when he went to the bank. Lori is home today which is good as her headache has been bothering her. And of course, I’m working away.

The mail, UPS and Fed Ex are super slow these days. We have things we’re waiting on that are way overdue. We’re not out of the woods yet with supply issues, inflation and the economy. Biden is on tv trying to deflect from his failures talking about the Capital riots a year ago. We can’t even stand to listen to this guy. Nothing he can say can make up for the dismal job and what this guy and his cronies have done our Country in one short year. God help us.

That’s it, have a great day and God Bless.

Today we could get as much as a foot here at the house. Or it could be a couple inches. We’ll just have to wait and see. Vail will probably get a foot, maybe more. I might drive Lori to Vail this morning so she doesn’t get stuck coming home.

Ty is headed to the mountain for the morning as he doesn’t start school until 12:30 today. Jag made it home around 6:30. I’ll probably see him later this week.

The Stock Show starts this weekend. We used to always go when we were kids. We also took the boys when they were young. It’d be nice to go this year, we’ll see.

Had a good three hours at the range yesterday. Was a little cold around 2 but not too bad. Good to stay up on training. Need to get out there at least two times a week for the next couple months. It’s part of my new 2022 regimen. I have a few other new things going on as well.

That’s it, enjoy the day, enjoy each moment! God Bless.
