Ty leaves this morning for his hut trip. This is where he and his classmates use skis with skins (fur on the bottom so they can walk up snowy mountains) to hike into a hut high up in the mountains. They’ll spend the night and return tomorrow, taking off their skins and skiing or snowboarding down. Jag and I went to meet the high school baseball coach at Battle Mountain High School yesterday afternoon. They want Jag bad to play baseball on the high school team. He can do this as his school doesn’t offer baseball which allows him to join another schools team. The first game is a week from tomorrow! This means I’m off to Denver today to buy some new shoes, a new bat and other assorted gear so he can start practice tomorrow. His glove and other gear are in the storage unit down in Eagle so I’ll have to get down there too. There are two boys, a sophomore and senior, from his school on the team already, so he can ride with the senior from VMS to practice. They practice from 3:45 until 6pm 5 days a week! It’ll probably cost us close to $700 we don’t really have to spend after we pay the registration fee and get his new gear but it’s super important, especially for college, if he plays baseball and basketball. I told him if there are two kids, both with good grades, but one plays two sports and the other doesn’t, colleges will choose the one who plays sports. Anyhow he’s good at it to and it looks like he’ll be playing Varsity baseball meaning against upperclassmen, like juniors ans seniors which will be a good experience.
Meanwhile Lori is off to Denver too in 30 minutes at 5;45am for a doctor appointment. She’s seeing the girl she used to manage for some derm work and having a scaley part on her ear checked out. She needs to be in Denver by 8am and should be back up at work by 11 this morning. Mojo appears to be all better, thank God. Lots going on at work and Lori is getting ready to go see Dixie this Friday. She worked until 7:30 last night. So, we’re busy busy as you can see. Time to run, have a great day and GB. Hopefully Spring is coming soon!
