Not sure it&#8217;ll be much different up here. Then we&#8217;re back to the 80&#8217;s. Yesterday after running to Denver, we made it home and Oscar from our heating company, came over. Turns out the furnace just needed a fuse. While he was here, he changed the tank on our humidifier. I loaded them up with beef from the ranch as they respond to me within minutes whenever I have a problem. They were super thankful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Denver I took Lori to Raz&#8217;s, (our new jeweler buddy) and he has a new chain coming in for her which will arrive today. We&#8217;ll pick it up tomorrow. We&#8217;re going through all our old stuff (jewelry), in the safe and taking it down as Raz is going to use it to make something new for Lori. I was thinking of making gold dog tags for the boys with all our names on it. We&#8217;ll see. On the way out of town, we stopped at this cool liquor store close to where Jag and Ava used to live to get some more of Lori&#8217;s favorite champagne. She doesn&#8217;t drink much but really likes this one kind. The girl there remembered us and Jag and was super helpful. We should be good on bubbles for the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today the house cleaners come around noon. That means we need to clean before they can clean. Kind of makes no sense. 6:30am and still dark outside. Sort of strange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work is going really well. All kinds of chaos in the industry but chaos creates all kinds of opportunities. More to come. I&#8217;m interviewing another girl today. It&#8217;s tough in one way as it&#8217;s out with the old, and in with the new, meaning a couple people that have been here for 15 and 20 years, will soon be gone. Sadly, two people I have don&#8217;t have the skill set for what today&#8217;s market and the Company needs. I am going to offer a straight commission job to both of them so if they want to stay they can. If not, I&#8217;ll give them a three-month severance package and send them on their way. I have to do what&#8217;s best for the Company, our investors, and the rest of the people here, including me. Tough times require tough decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ty&#8217;s off to work, Lori is washing the sheets and I&#8217;m putting the trash out. Then it&#8217;s off to the gym. Last Friday of March, hard to believe as it feels like the last Friday of May! Have a great day and weekend, God Bless. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should be a little cooler today, especially down in Denver.
