Today we have lunch with Jim and Julie in Aspen at 12:15. I have a 9am with Italy and then we’ll hit the road. At 4 this morning, a raccoon, I think, took the lid off our pail of bird seed outside. I heard it and jumped up and saw him scurrying away, but it was dark, so I didn’t get a really good look. It was too small to be a bear, and we really don’t have bears in the sage brush up here.
Gary and Jen decided, I guess yesterday, to have a BBQ tonight as they just emailed everyone yesterday! Way to plan ahead! I don’t think we’ll be able to stop by, but we’ll see. We’re with them tomorrow night for the 4th in Beaver Creek. Then we have Dr. Joseph’s annual crawfish boil party Saturday. He flies in 300 pounds of crawfish from Louisiana every year. Busy weekend.
Ty rode 5 miles on his mountain bike with Will after work. Will’s one of his best friends who’s back from a semester in Australia and headed back to Bozeman in a few weeks. They’ve known each other since we moved up here and they were in like 7th grade. This afternoon Ty is going over to meet Davy at the store (Gorsuch) as Davy wants to hire Ty and train him to be a manager. Davy says Ty could have a career with him if he wants. Lots of his employees have been there for decades. It will be more money and great benefits. Ty wants to leave the valley though in a year or so. He’d like to be in Montana, but who knows what’ll happen, maybe Davy will open a store up there. I’m sure Ty’s salary would be $75K plus. Darn good money for a 21-year-old.
That’s it, Lori wants to get to the gym before my call, so I need to go. 6:15am now. Have a great July 3rd, God Bless.
