Denver was fine, and pretty clear. I dropped my guitar with Glen to repair the bridge which pulled up a little bit due to how dry it is. Glen started building guitars in the 80&#8217;s and is the only guy to go to in Colorado for high end guitar work. He&#8217;s at the Old Town Pickin Parlor in Old Town Arvada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The worst part of the day was the drive home. It took me an hour to go from Evergreen to Idaho Springs. I made good use of the time by making phone calls. Once I made it to the Express Lanes, it was smooth sailing all the way to Eagle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This afternoon at 4 we&#8217;re headed to Jen and Gary&#8217;s for a party. Gary is a few years older than me and Jen must be in her early 40&#8217;s. Gary went over the front of his bike and smashed 7 ribs. He had to go to Denver to have some plates put in his chest. I think the town is having fireworks at Nottingham Lake in Avon tonight but we&#8217;ll be home way before they start. We love Jen as she&#8217;s such a sweet girl and beat cancer. Gary is nice, but sometime hard to take in large doses. He was the engineer for Beaver Creek back in the 70&#8217;s and made beaucoup bucks from that project. They actually met in DIA (the airport), when he approached her. Lori made her cheesecake to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work is tough cash flow wise right now as we&#8217;re selling more than we can afford to make. It&#8217;s a good problem and we&#8217;ll get around it, but it&#8217;s tough stretch. In my new spirit or philosophy of not worrying about work every waking minute anymore, I really don&#8217;t care. How&#8217;s that for a personal transformation! It&#8217;s a challenge not to care, but I&#8217;m working on it! Ha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jag had a half day yesterday and is off today. Most places are closed today. Not sure about banks. Our office and Lori&#8217;s are closed but I&#8217;m sure Lori will still get calls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time to get moving. Have a great holiday weekend. The news just said half of America doesn&#8217;t know why the 4th of July is a holiday, God help us. Enough said, God Bless everyone and God Bless America!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s less smokey this morning up here. Denver was fine, and pretty clear.
