A Year of Change

We dropped Lori’s car around 8:30 and headed out to run our errands. Around 10:30 we met up with Ty at the mall as a watch I ordered for him that he’s wanted forever, finally came in. We decided to buy both boys watches last August. It just takes a while for the right ones to become available. He’s super happy and deserves it as he’s doing really well. We’re happy to get them both their first real watch as they should have them forever. It’s kind of like a rite of passage for a man. We started looking for Jagger’s over a year ago and it finally came in last August, but we didn’t tell him about it until Ty’s came in. I’ll get Jag’s sized next week and send it to him then.

Turns out the warning light on Lori’s car is just a glitch in the software system of Porsche GTS models. When the car gets above a certain altitude it triggers an alert that sends a signal to the light on the dash, but it’s a false alarm. Would have been nice to know that before we drove down, ha. My buddy did wash Lori’s car and filled it was gas for her, and we had to go down anyhow, so it is what it is. They had a couple really nice used cars down there at good prices. First, a 2020 Panamera GTS with 8000 miles, and then a 2013 911 S Cabriolet with 22,000 miles! Both are super clean cars with low miles, and I’d love to have either. A guy can dream.

Ty’s going to a concert in Boulder tonight with some girl. Jag went to a retirement party last night for some co-worker. Ty’s off to work and we’ll head to the gym soon. Lite snow just started up here. We’re supposed to get a few inches with the front range getting the worst of it. Looks like next week will be a warm week.

More shootings in Denver and all across the Country, mainly in blue States and cities. It’s common place in Denver these days. You have to have your head on a swivel down there. Crazy and sad.

Time to go! It’s recycle and trash day. Have a good day, be safe and God Bless.

Taking Lori’s new car down today as there must be some kind of software glitch making a light on the dash go on. It does say “ok to drive”, but they want to see it right away. We need to be there by 9 and will run some errands while they check it out. Ty’s going with us, but we need to take a couple cars as I don’t think they have any loaners.

Ty did his taxes last night and thanks to the President, he’s getting about $5k back, as there’s no tax on tips which make up more than half his income! Good for him. Jagger is running 6 to 8 miles a day to get in shape. I’m working out twice, most days and we’re getting Lori in with Stacey, our former trainer who is a competitive bodybuilder, who now has her own gym. Pilates is great but doesn’t really make you stronger.

Lots going on at work. I think we have our new Peach, Chocolate Almond and Guava whisky going into Trader Joe’s! This is a big deal. Keep your fingers crossed.

Time to go, have a great day, God Bless.

Big accident on I-70 by the tunnel yesterday. Over 70 cars involved and about 20 people injured. Wasn’t a lot of snow, must have been some black ice. Looks like a little more snow on Friday. We’re in Denver tomorrow so that’s good. This year, you wouldn’t expect to get much snow in April, especially the back half, but it is typically a snowy month.

Ty’s working today. Jag’s looking for an apartment, and Lori is helping out a bunch. I must have seen 50 texts go back and forth yesterday of potential places. It’s not easy to find something affordable. We might have to subsidize the place for a year or so until he makes more money.

6am now. Lori has a little warning light on her car dashboard but it says ok to drive. The dealer said that sometimes comes on and to park the car and lock it for an hour or so and then it should go away. We’ll see if the warning light is still on this morning.

Tax Day today. Had to send out around $30k to the government. They’re the worst investment I’ve ever made in my life. We have to pay them the most, and we get back the least. Lots of people, especially retirees, are leaving the State. People vote with their wallets, yet the democrat politicians just can’t figure that out. Name me one problem the government has ever solved. Bet you can’t. They think the more money you throw at something, the better chance of fixing it. Turns out the more money you throw at something, the more fraud and corruption there is. That’s the byproduct of our tax dollars, nice.

6:10am now, time to move and groove. Have a great day, GB

Stepping up my workout regimen to twice a day. Doing an hour plus of weights in the morning and then another hour of cardio in the afternoon. I need to make sure I work in some rest days as when you go heavy, you have to allow more time for recovery.

Ty golfed in the morning and then went up valley and hit the gym later in the day. I made broccoli, chicken and rice for dinner, but somehow burned the rice.

We had a little rain last night and it’s a little cloudy right now. We have a dusting of snow way up high on top of the mountains. I think we’re getting more of the same on Friday.

Lots going on at work, time to get to the gym. Have a great Tuesday and God Bless.

Well, looks like we owe $3500 to the Feds. I was hoping for a refund, but $3500 isn’t bad. We overpaid Colorado by $6000 but still need to pay estimated taxes to them, not sure why. Wish we had a flat tax. That won’t happen though, as then the politicians can’t come into office broke and be worth $20 million in a couple of years.

Ty’s off today, I’m headed to the gym and Lori works in Vail. Jag is still trying to get scheduled for his big test. He looked for an apartment most of the weekend.

The loser Swalwell has dropped out of the Governors race in California but isn’t resigning from Congress. Guess it’s ok to sexually assault multiple women and still be in Congress but not be a Governor. Go figure.

Mixed weather this week. Looks like a little rain, maybe even some light snow. We’ll see.

Time to go, God Bless.

I think I can put the snow shovels away for the year. Being mid-April, we should be done. But the way things work, if I do, it’ll probably snow!

Yesterday, DU won its 11th National Hockey Championship! They were playing Wisconsin who was leading after the second period. Pretty amazing. Last day of the regular season for basketball and then the playoffs start Tuesday. About 12 days until the NFL draft, so lots going on.

The boys are well. Ty’s sleeping and went to some party in Vail last night, after his concert at 4. It was the after party for the band.

Should be 75 degrees in Denver meaning the low 70’s up here. I’d like to get some purging done today.

That’s it, time to go. Have a great day and God Bless.

Jag’s trying to get his SEC test scheduled and the guy who schedules it is pretty flakey and now he’s two weeks out. Jag might fly to Denver to take it as they’re booked up in Chicago. Ava is headed to California for a couple weeks. Jag is looking for apartments and wants to join a gym. He’s been waiting until he’s done studying. His Company decided to start doing quarterly bonuses which is huge for him. First one will be in July. The numbers are mind boggling. Jag just wrapped up a $140 million dollar deal with the State of Rhode Island, and they’re co-managing a $2.3 million dollar deal next week. We’ve been talking to him this morning.

We’re headed to the gym in a few minutes. Ty’s off today and went to some after party last night. Then we’ll do some things around the house.

Have a great Saturday and God Bless.

This morning at 8:30 the cleaners come. That’s earlier than normal but ok as then they’ll be gone by 11. Lori has PT at noon.

After our quick trip to Denver, we were home doing things around the house. We were literally in Denver for maybe 30 minutes total. Couldn’t have been much longer as the whole trip, including driving time, was 4 and a half hours. That’s about how long it should take to drive to Cherry Creek and back, but in Lori’s car, you make it much faster.

We had a little bit of rain yesterday, not much, but anything is good. Looks like the 50’s and 60’s for the next week or so.

Time to clean so the cleaners can clean! That makes sense right! Have a great day, God Bless.

Yesterday the weather service said next winter could be another warm and dry one like this one. That’s not good. Hope they’re wrong.

The Supreme Court shot down another Colorado Democrat law that is unconstitutional. Colorado now leads the Country as the State with the worst record on free speech. Every time they lose a court battle, they double down with another illegal law. The news this morning said our worthless, criminal Governor is losing popularity with voters. I think the only ones who like him these days are trans people and the extreme left. Yesterday he signed a law where educators and basically anyone in health care, can request that anyone’s guns be taken away! They don’t have to be a judge or have any proof, they can just say this person is a threat. Unbelievable. Polymarket says there’s a 93% chance Bennett becomes Governor. That alone should make anyone sick to their stomach, and for sure means we’re leaving the State.

Ty works at 10. He was off today but picked up a shift from 10 until 2. Lori and I might run down to Denver to pick up her new gold chain to replace the one on her anniversary necklace.

Rockies and Nuggets won! Wow. Hopefully they both can keep it going. I have more faith in the Nuggets than the Rockies, but in sports, you never know. That’s it, have a great day, God Bless.

Well, so far this year, the Rockies have won two of the four series they’ve played! You might think, who are the Rockies or why is this a big deal. The Rockies are our consistently bad baseball team, year after year. Last year we didn’t win a series against any team until June! I know baseball isn’t a big thing for anyone, but this is a big deal if you’re a Colorado baseball fan. Go Rockies!

Ty’s off to work already and we’ll head to the gym soon. Dr. B is on his way to a conference in Miami this morning, so Lori is working from home. I was in and out of Denver by 10:30. After having a few benign bumps on my head froze by Libby, I had a quick haircut before heading home. I was back in the Valley by 12:30.

There was a fire in Boulder last night. It’ll probably be a bad year for fires with it being so dry. We could use a good soaker or two. Get ready for higher water prices and restrictions.

Looks like Trump has pretty much wiped out all of Iran’s military and the regime. They agreed to a two week cease fire and opened the Strait of Hormuz. The market futures are up over 1000 points this morning. Only in America would you have politicians and people (Dems and liberals) who side with a regime that kills women for showing their hair over the President. Iran has killed over 30,000 of its own people, just this year, for peacefully protesting or questioning their government. Every Democrat or anyone who sides with an enemy of America should be impeached.

Dixie’s birthday today. Lori sure misses her. She was a good old gal. RIP.

Time to get moving, have a great day, God Bless.
