Sounds like a movie, right? Nope, today is Lori’s last day driving to Frisco. Her company will now operate exclusively out of Vail. This is good timing as the Frisco days meant driving over Vail Pass and about one out of every two times in the winter, the Pass would be closed or there would be huge traffic problems due to snow.
Ty’s work has their annual paint ball outing today. They split the restaurant staff into two teams and go out in the mountains and its game on. A couple of the guys, like Ty, are professionals. They have their own state of the art paint ball guns and gear and play often. In the first 30 minutes or so, the amateurs are pretty much out of the game. They play a bunch of rounds though, so those people get to play again.
Ty wrapped up his Halloween costume yesterday after a couple more things came from Amazon. He’s Mick Dundee from Crocodile Dundee. He borrowed a pair of pants and some great handmade boots of mine to complete his outfit and looks really good. I think Jagger and Ava are doing the Ricky Bobby thing. Ty took our Ricky Bobby coats down on Sunday when he went to the Bronco game. Lori and I are just staying home.
Lori needs ENT clearance to make sure both vocal cords are functioning properly and is getting a Dexascan Saturday morning. After that, she’ll be cleared for surgery. We think she’ll have it at St. Anthonys in Lakewood and Dr. B will go along to be there as Dr. Beckman operates. If all goes well, she could be in week after next, maybe even next Friday. She needs to get insurance authorization first.
Cold up here but no snow. Looks like the mid 20’s in Denver. My neck is still bothering me from lifting. My doctor and buddy, who is the top cardiologist up here, told me to stop lifting weights that are so heavy that they make me strain my neck. He says there’s a condition where you can actually rupture your aortic and some other artery that goes up the side of your neck. I always get a headache when doing heavy weights anyhow, so this is welcome news and a good reason to stop any overhead exercises with heavy weight. Hopefully it calms down today. I can feel the muscle in the back of my neck being sore.
5:50am now. Looks like my big deal I’ve been working on for 4 or 5 months is done. Their lawyer sent an email late last night telling my new partner to sign and execute the documents and send them back to me. After I get our existing shareholders to sign off, which should take a week or so, then I’ll get a cash infusion of a few million dollars. Once done, I’m launching our new spirits division and will put my new partner in charge of acquisition and development of spirits. I’ll make him part of the management board but will have him report directly to me on a day-to-day basis. He’s a really good guy that worked for me for over 4 years up until 3 years ago or so. It’ll be an exciting new chapter and a new revenue stream for the Company. Should be fun. Get ready for some cool new tequilas and whiskies!
That’s it, time to go, have a great Wednesday and God Bless.
