Chilly this morning, so they say. I never really notice the difference between let’s say 10 degrees or 20 degrees. Mid 70’s are on the way next week.
Today is one of the guys in our cigar group’s birthday. He loves Lori’s enchilada’s so she’s making a pan for me to take with me to surprise him. James is off to the ranch in California for the weekend, so he’ll miss out.
Yesterday James and I hopped on a zoom call and finalized our hunt for the year. This year, James, Marty, Davy and I are packing in on horseback to bow hunt elk at 10,000 feet in Southwest Colorado. We’ll be leaving the rifles at home although we will carry sidearms (handguns) for bears and wolves. We’re super excited as it’ll be a change from our normal hunts. We need to dust off our bows and practice a bunch before September. Luckily Davy and I ride. Marty hasn’t been on a horse in 40 years and I’m not sure about James. It’s going to be fun. Just the four of us in the backcountry. Could even snow at that elevation in September!
Pretty sure we’ll be headed to the gym this morning as Lori hasn’t been in a few days. Not sure what’s up after that.
Last night three police officers were shot in Pueblo by a gang member that has 13 felonies and was still released on bail by the State. The police chief is livid that this guy was even on the streets. Hard to blame him. Wonder how the Gov or any politician that voted to let guys like this walk, would feel if they or one of their family members was shot by this dude. Oh, and he was an illegal too. Can’t make this stuff up, but here in Colorado, it’s not surprising.
Lori had an elderly man from Montana in yesterday (a patient) who said he left Colorado years ago as he saw things changing back then. They were talking about the horrible gun law the Dems are pushing, and he said he can’t believe it, and that he’s packing right now, and asked her, “do you want to see my gun”? She laughed and said good for you but that’s ok. Better to be prepared these days, even here in Vail.
Crazy times these days. You just have to keep on pushing along best you can. You can’t let the bad things consume every waking moment of your life, but it is a new time, and you do need to know things are different and adapt.
Hope everyone has a great day and a good weekend. Be well, stay safe and God Bless.
