We leave a week from today! Think I have everything in place. Lori will make up a bunch of food for Ty before we go. I think Jag is going to come up on the weekend to stay with him while we’re gone.
Looks like I’m one step closer to a $2 million dollar cash infusion. After dozens of calls and negotiations, I’ll write up the term sheet today and hope to close around mid-August. This is a win win for both parties.
Ty works this morning at 7. I have a call at 8 and then will go to the gym and stop and see him for breakfast. I ran some errands after running down to get some Euro’s yesterday. I had to get a couple pair of pants hemmed and picked up a few more pairs of socks along with some travel size toiletries. Looks hot in France with some rain on and off on a few days. We love Europe and will be going at least 4 times that we know of in the next 12 months.
Another person killed in Denver last night. Lori just said, “man, someone down there gets killed every day”, which is pretty much true. I Face Timed with my realtor up in Whitefish yesterday and looked at a really nice house that is new construction. It was the model home and if we ‘d go that route, we’d design our own and then have them build. The good news is the builder carries all the costs until the build is completed, like I said yesterday. We’re not sure we want that big of a house, but it’s an option. There are lots of houses for close to a million less that are nice too. They’ll come down in price as we get closer to Fall too.
Just saw that Denver is up against Perth Australia to host the 2030 Gay Games, great, (sarcasm). We’ll be gone by then for sure. The news yesterday was talking about how people leave Blue States due to politics and policies and for the most part, but when they get to a Red State, they don’t vote to change it. This was good news but a surprise as here, they come and vote for the same things they left. It then highlighted Colorado as the main exemption noting how many Californians or others left Blue States but then ironically moved to a Red State and voted for the very things that caused them to leave where they were. So that’s why we feel that way. It was also noted how now the people are pushing back by voting politicians out. An example is in California where there is a net loss of 120,000 people that leave the State each year. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but apparently that’s a huge number. New York and Illinois are other States with negative growth, while States like Texas, Tennessee and Florida are growing. Tells you a lot. We’re still pretty much sold on Montana or Idaho with Montana in the lead. We can’t wait to get out of here.
My 8am call was just pushed until tomorrow, so I’ll head out to the gym now and then go see Ty. This is fine as I’ll get in a good workout. 6:25 now, time to get moving. Have a great day, God Bless.
