Need to get moving as this morning I have an oil change and a new fuel filter being installed on the truck. Jag and Ava are in California. I think she leaves for New York around the middle of next week. She has her internship there while Jag has school and his here.
Ty wanted to golf today, but it rained last night and with my truck appointment, that’s not happening. I organized all my tools in the garage yesterday. I consolidated them all into a new toolbox I found on sale last year. It’s one of those stackable ones on wheels that holds a lot. I have a lot of tools which is good.
Lori works in Edwards today, Vail tomorrow. I hope to be back by 1 or so. No rain outside right now, just kind of foggy and misty. Have a great day and God Bless.
Soon it’ll be June and summer should be here in full force. One more freeze warning for tomorrow night, so the plants will come into the garage. We managed to get a few things cleaned up around here yesterday. Lots more to do.
Should be nice today and then be warming up again mid-week going into the weekend. I’m going to try to get some more work done in the garage and the basement today. Last full week of May so lots of orders to get in too.
Jag has been busy with work and Ty is off today and tomorrow. Looks like Ty has his choice of going to the 4 Seasons or two of the top restaurants in town, for work. Any will be a step up in money and experience.
On to football as basketball is over. That’s ok as it frees up a lot of time as I don’t have any more basketball or hockey to watch now that we’re done.
Time to go, 5:42am now. Have a great week and God Bless.
After the gym and some other errands, we showered and headed out looking for the elusive hanging baskets for the front of the house. On our way to Glenwood, Lori found a nursery on Colorado River Road. I said let’s stop and check it out. Good decision. There we found four hanging baskets for the front, two for the back, and a bunch of flowers for the beds in front of the house. We’re expecting a freeze Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night, so we’ll need to bring them into the garage tomorrow, but at least we have them. After picking them out, and paying for them, we left them there and headed for lunch in Basalt with Eleni and Ben.
We were going to our favorite Mexican restaurant which is always great and worth the drive. Lori called Eleni to see if they wanted to join us and they said, you bet. They came from Edwards, so for them, it’s about a 90-minute drive each way! That’s how good it is.
We were done by 4 and headed home stopping at the nursery in Dotsero, to pick up all our baskets and flowers. Good to have a truck!
Ty’s headed to work. He was still feeling crappy yesterday. Guess he’s not much better today. Summer colds are the worst. Not sure what we’re doing today. Probably just hanging out around the house. That’s it for today. Enjoy your Sunday and God Bless.
Yesterday Ty had a golf lesson and then played 18 holes but is still kicking his cold. Lori has been fighting off getting it too. I’m fine so far, knock on wood.
Tommy is now a Porsche owner! Welcome to the club. They really are one of the great car brands in the history of the World. I’m sure in a few months, he too will realize it might be the best car he’s ever owned. I’d love to buy a new Panamera but they’re $130k plus. Just can’t justify it these days.
Looking like a nice weekend. A few scattered showers around the State but mostly sunny and warm. Today we’re on the hunt for four hanging baskets of flowers for the front of the house. Lori has a patient with a nursery over in Kremling, but I think we’ll try this place in New Castle on the other side of Glenwood Springs. Costco normally has them, but they haven’t come in yet this year.
Ty went through his closet yesterday and filled up a bag of clothes he doesn’t wear anymore. Jag needs to do the same. I think Jag and Ava are going to California for a few days. They can fly free on miles. Ava leaves for New York and her internship around the end of the month.
Lori and I are looking at going to Europe around the end of July for a good week. Need to get going on planning it out.
Time to get going, 7am now. Ty left for work 30 minutes ago. I’m sore from working out with Brent yesterday. Lori and I always split an hour of training with him to save money. Enjoy your Saturday and God Bless.
Lots going on today. First up, Lori and I are working out at 6. Next up, Ty has a golf lesson at 9, that is, if he’s feeling better. Tom is getting a new Porsche Cayenne from my dealer in Littleton, and it’s going to be 80 degrees up here this afternoon.
Ty came home last night around 10, after dropping Madi at work. He’s been trying to kick a cold for 3 or 4 days now. Hopefully he feels better this morning for his lesson.
Jag has been doing a bunch of stuff with friends. They’ve all been getting together for dinners and fun times now that school is out.
Marty, Ken, Andres and I got together for cigars yesterday afternoon. I came up with the idea of roasting a pig for July 4th, so we’re going to dig a pit in the yard at James’s house in Lake Creek. He’ll be in the middle of the tour in Europe, so he’ll miss it, but it should be fun.
Big loss last night for the Nuggets. Game 7 on Sunday. 5:47 am right now. The house 2 doors up just listed for $4 million. If they get it, we might just sell as that means we’d come in around $3.5 million. Not sure where we’d go, but it’d be hard to leave that kind of money on the table. Probably not going anywhere, but you never know.
That’s it, super excited for Tommy to get rid of the BMW and get the Porsche. He’s concerned he might not fit, but I think he’ll be fine. Have a great day and great weekend. God Bless.
Both cars are now good to go, sort of. They did get the computer chip installed in my truck but didn’t have time to change the oil. They would have, but I told them to wait on it as it was already 12:30.
After dropping it off at 8, I headed to Boulder to pick up Jagger. We went over to the fly-fishing shop and picked up what he needed to be all outfitted to get on the river. Then we decided to go to breakfast. After eating, I dropped him off and headed back to the dealer.
On the way home I stopped at Marty’s to drop off some wine in his garage. Then I was off for home. Around 5, I met up with Clark and Andres for a cigar. Lori managed to make it home from Frisco before I did.
Ty’s been kicking a cold for a few days. He’s still a little under the weather.
Tom might trade in his BMW for a Porsche Cayenne from my dealer. It’d be a great car for him. They drive great, are easy to get in and out of, and are easy to park. It’s also probably the smoothest driving car I’ve ever driven, and that says a lot as I’ve had a lot of cars!
Mid 70’s up here today. Summer is almost here. I’m sure Lori will be getting some sun. Big game for the Nuggets tonight, hope we win.
Up and out early. This time for my truck. I’ll drop it by 8:30 and then head to Boulder to meet Jagger. Hope to be back at the dealer by 11 at the latest and home by 1.
Good day yesterday. Managed to get everything done. Lori is in Frisco today, so she’ll be late. Warming up, but we did get a few rain showers on the Pass yesterday. Should start really warming up soon.
Ty has a cold and went to the doctor yesterday. Of course, they just said to hydrate and take it easy. He’s getting a little burned out on restaurant work. That’s understandable. Think he’s taking Thursday and Friday off to take a break. He did buy a new driver so maybe he’ll play some golf. Good for him.
Time to get moving, have a great day and enjoy life! Be well, stay safe and God Bless.
Leaving at 5:45 this morning to get Lori’s car serviced. Should be back by 1 or 2. Lori will be driving my truck to work. Jag and Ava are headed back to Boulder today. He took one of my fly rods and we’ll meet up tomorrow to get him the rest of the gear he needs to slay some trout.
Yesterday was a nice day. We were busy working, but all went well. Ty works today. He was playing golf in Denver yesterday. Hard to keep track of him on his days off.
Weather is getting nice. We were in shorts all day. That’s about it, have a great day and God Bless.
Back to work. It was a busy 9 days with Lori’s birthday, the Kentucky Derby Party, the trip to Sacramento and Dixie’s celebration of life. Lots accomplished but now it’s time to get moving forward.
Yesterday was a great day for Mom’s Day. Jag and Ava made it up around 3 or so, and Ty was home from work a bit before 6. The Nuggets game started right on time, and it was a great game as we won. Hopefully we’ve cracked the code on these guys. Now tonight, the Av’s need to win.
I have a conference call at 9 and then will be working around the house. Lori, I think, works from home today as Dr. B is taking the day off as he was supposed to have jury duty but got out of it. Tomorrow I’m taking Lori’s car to Denver for service and Wednesday mine goes in.
Nice weather headed our way. Looks like it’ll be in the 70’s all week with isolated showers. I think we’re finally done with snow, knock on wood.
Almost 7 right now. Jag and Ava are of course, still sleeping. I think they’re headed back to Boulder today. Soon it’ll be June, time flies.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Here at the ranch, a special one to my sweet wife and amazing mom to our two boys. What a journey it’s been raising them for the past 22 years. Don’t forget Harley, she’s been raising her for six years!
Today Jag and Ava are coming up from Boulder and Ty will be here after work around 6pm. Yesterday we ran a bunch of errands and then ran into Molly and Dr. Braxton at Costco. He bought a new smoker and wanted to give us his Big Green Egg. We ended up driving to their place and helping him carry the smoker upstairs (elevator out) and then carry the Green Egg down the stairs. As we were carrying the egg down the stairs, it fell out of the stand, hit the ground and broke! Lori and I were fine with it though as it really wasn’t “as new” as he said it was, ha. After that, home we went. Earlier after the gym, we went to pick up our crazy dog. She’s just nuts these days.
We were headed to Denver for Shultz’s party but just were too tired. We almost felt drugged from traveling. I slept until 7:30 this morning trying to catch up. Looks like 18 inches of snow in Leadville! Nothing here with some clouds mixed in with blue sky. Rainy in Denver.
It was a great time in Sac, even though a quick trip. Lori has been getting lots of texts from people that showed up. It was a fitting tribute to a great lady.
Happy Mother’s Day to Annette! Also to all those mom’s that are no longer with us. I’m sure their having a great celebration up in the sky. HMD to Robi too, hope the Stones were fun last night in Vegas.
I’m cooking some beef ribs today plus Jag and Ava are stopping at Whole Foods to get some chicken and stuff for some recipe Lori sent them.
Almost mid-May, wow. Have a great day and take a moment to remember a special moment with your mom! Be well, stay safe and God Bless.
Here are a couple pics of Lori. One of us last year in Arizona and one of my favs from Halloween.
