Lori had her checkup and I had my stitches out. We made it home around 4. Harley had a bone in the morning and somehow brought it inside, which of course, resulted in ants! We managed to get rid of them and as of this morning, we haven&#8217;t seen any more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A month or so ago I was looking at some new cars as I&#8217;ve been trying to get a diesel Suburban. I was also looking at the Mercedes GLS 450&#8217;s which are luxurious cruisers around the same price. Last night, one of my dealers, after some emails back and forth, offered me $16,000 off! This is a huge discount on a current model year car. I&#8217;m trying to decide what to do. Trade my truck, keep my truck and get the Mercedes, or just stand pat with my truck. It sure would be nice to have a comfortable cruiser like the GLS. Ben has one he bought around six months ago and loves it. Decisions, decisions, decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ty is working again today. Chef Bob fell off the wagon at work yesterday and got drunk and the paramedics had to come as he passed out. He&#8217;s been in rehab three times. So sad. Molly, the other owner, is flying back early from Wisconsin. Luckily Ty was there and has been working every day as he&#8217;s one of the only ones that can really run the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nice up here and hot in Denver. Hotter tomorrow. Time to go, have a great day, take care and God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We made it to Denver after stopping for rock scaling on Vail Pass.
