Yesterday morning I headed to Glenwood to get my new tires put on the truck. Tires that come on new vehicles are usually pretty cheap, so manufacturers save money. With winter coming, and 25,000 miles on the current tires, I decided to get new ones. Tires are not cheap these days, $2300 for a set of 4 installed. I bought the Toyo AT 3’s which are the best ones out there. Ty was super excited and had me send him a picture. Next up is to get some snow tires on Lori’s Porsche.
Ty went to Fort Collins yesterday and spent the night with friends and today is headed to Boulder to stay with Jagger. He’s on a mini tour around the State to see friends. He went with his buddy Ryker from up here.
There’s a new pack of wolves in Colorado. 18 calves were found dead in Meeker. Thanks to all the environmentalists in Boulder and Denver that voted for their reintroduction! I’m sure the ranchers are happy. Too bad we can’t have those wolves go live next door to the people that voted to have them here and let them play with their dogs and cats. Another example of stupid decisions by one group of people that don’t have to live with the consequences. If I was a rancher, and my calves were getting killed, wolves would mysteriously begin to disappear. Wolves are the only animals that kill just to kill. They’ll kill more than they can eat and just leave the carcasses.
I organized our pantry yesterday and continued to get ready for winter. More of the same today. Lori is doing fine recuperating. I’m off to the gym this morning as I didn’t make it yesterday as planned. She’s been sleeping up in Jagger’s room as she has to sleep sitting up for a week. Oh, in the afternoon I went to Kellie’s, and picked up 10 dozen eggs. We also had the company that installed solar panels on the new house down the street come up and measure us for a system. I hope to put it in along with an inverter and batteries that will store power so if the power goes out, I can keep the house running. We’ll also of course cut our power bill a bunch. I need to analyze the numbers though to make sure they work as if I don’t break even in 5 years or less, it’s not worth it. Then I’ll just get a generator instead.
That’s it, nice and cool last night. Make it a great day and God Bless.
