The simple answer is, everything, our sprinklers, the economy, the oldest guys ear and on and on. Here’s some details.
First up, it’s our sprinkler regulator out front that needs to be fixed, hmmm, that’ll be another few hundred. It’s always something.
On top of that, instead of going to Aspen to deliver wine, I need to take it to the distributor so they, being a registered agent, can deliver it. This is actually good news as it’ll save me 5 hours of driving.
Turns out the oldest has swimmers ear, meaning no swimming and $50 for ear drops and $30 for a visit to the doctor.
4 more fires burning here in Colorado and more hot weather on the way. If you live here, you’re supposed to stay inside today.
The misses will be at work most of the day and night filming video testimonials, (just an fyi)
But worst of all, Gold dropped overnight by almost $50 an ounce! What this means is that the World is finally freaking out about the economy. You see when stocks AND precious metals drop, we are flat out in trouble. Usually if stocks drop, metals go up! What does all this mean to you, well when it crashes at least metals will be worth something while paper (dollars) will be killed. Â Just an economic 101 for the day. Here’s a bit more to chew on,

If this is all over your head, no worries, what it means in simple terms is that things just are not well. Here at home, our false economy is slowly unravelling (The Fed buying 85 Billion dollars worth of bonds a month can’t even s ave the economy!) while our civil liberties are quickly being eroded. We spend more money to buy less and have less rights and more government. Does anyone see this or are you all conditioned to it since it’s been happening continuously now for some time. Even if you don’t believe me (or want to know) everyone here has to notice that their cereal, beer, milk, eggs, something has gone way up in cost. At the same time, the size of the package you buy has shrunk. Check it out, everything comes in smaller packages these days as this is one way they try to fool you. I could go on and on but most of you don’t read for a gloom and doom forecast of society, so I’ll wrap it up. Just do me a favor and buy some food, you have to have food. I don’t care of it’s 50 cans of canned food and a few bags of rice, just get some kind of back up.
Time to go to the gym, hope everyone is well. I’ll have the misses write tomorrow as I’m sure she’s a little more fun to read. Take care and God Bless.
