I had an interview at 9 and a call with Italy at 10 and that was it, so I moved them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lori is off to Denver to go to the dermatologist. I think she&#8217;s having lunch with Jagger after that. Ty&#8217;s already off to work, so soon, it&#8217;ll be Harley and me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily my cold is from the neck up. I&#8217;ll be fine and my throat doesn&#8217;t really hurt anymore. I just have a stuffy nose now, so I&#8217;m on the mend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metals are on a tear! Gold is almost at $4900 and silver around $95! I see silver holding but there&#8217;s still a huge upside for gold. You have to watch Costco online as they&#8217;ll have U.S. Gold Eagles every now and then. Whenever they do, they sell out the same day, even at today&#8217;s prices. They deliver to your house via UPS in two days! Costco is THE only place to buy gold as you can use a credit card and get points or miles, and if you have a Costco Executive Membership, (we do), you get 2.5% back in cash, plus Costco has the lowest markup anywhere. Whenever available, we grab one or two ounces. Gold has been a hedge against inflation for centuries, and it&#8217;s just cool too physically own. Last year, I introduced Tommy to my gold guy, and we all thought is was expensive then at around $3K. Today that&#8217;s a steal. I personally think it&#8217;ll be $10,000 an ounce by 2030 at the latest, maybe sooner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No snow up here, but it is colder. Looks like a cold football game this weekend with temps in the low teens and the wind chill around zero. Glad the boys are excited to go, and that Lori and I will be watching from our living room, ha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s about it, have a good day, God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been fighting a stuffy nose and a little sore throat for a few days, so I decided to take the day off.
