Off this morning for a 9:30 sales meeting in Denver. Need to be out of there by 10:10 for a 10:30 haircut. Then I’m dropping Jagger’s suit at Tommy’s before dropping clothes at the dry cleaners and heading up the hill. Ty works today and has his next day off on Monday. Jag crushed his test last night and finished in about 30 minutes. He’s really a special kid with academics. The best thing is he understands how to apply that to the real World which not a lot of people with his intelligence can do. We’re really proud of him. Ty excels just as much in other areas. His empathy for people and general happy gene are infectious and people constantly tell us how polite and joyful he is and how he made their day. Often we’re told how funny he is and that he doesn’t even know it! Two remarkable boys that both make the World a better place. We’re very proud and blessed.
Yesterday in Grand Junction I hung out with Derby who is an 80 year old cowboy who is a hat maker. He was a great rodeo guy who started riding broncs and bulls in 1961. He’s still doing well and working every day. Some guy randomly came in the shop and said he was a photographer from Virgina Beach Virgina and asked if he could get his cameras and take pictures. Jerry, who goes by his last name of Derby, was reshaping one of my hats and the guy took photos of Jerry and I for about 30 minutes. He was mostly taking pics of Jerry steaming and shaping one of my hats. I just happened to be there and was caught up in a few photos. I stopped by the farm earlier and picked up a bunch of spices and 6 quarts of strawberries. Randy also made me a rifle rack for down in the basement. He’s a cabinet maker by trade so it’s real nice. I was out of town by 11:30 and home around 1.
Today I should be home around 2 or so. Hoping to see Tom if he’s done at the bank in time. Time to get moving now as it’s 5:30am and I should be out of here in 30 minutes or so.
But before I go, don’t know who has seen our President on tv overseas. What an embarrassment. Other World leaders are directing him where to go as he’s clearly lost everywhere he goes. He skipped the dinner with all the World leaders as the White House said he’s been working hard for 4 days straight and is preparing for a big speech. That’s a flat out lie as two days ago the news showed him on a beach in Rhode Island. The real reason is he can’t stay up that late plus his handlers know it’d be a gaff fest is he was at dinner alone without people to tell him what to say, do and even where to walk. Yet over 40% of the Country supports him and his reelection. What are these people smoking? God help us.
Time to go, enjoy the day and God Bless.
