They say it’s supposed to warm up today but it’s only about 20 degrees right now at 6am. Yesterday most of the snow did melt on the roads but we still have some in the yard. Lori is up early as she has her first sales meeting of the year this morning before work.
Last night we had our first parent meeting for baseball from about 6 until 7:30pm. About half the parents showed up, some called and said they couldn’t make it and one or two others just didn’t respond. We’re thinking of cutting the kids that didn’t respond as this is a new year with new responsibilities. We’re playing competitive baseball which means if not you’re not committed to the team, we don’t want you on the team. Tryouts are this Sunday in Golden so we’ll be there trying to pick up 2 or 3 new good players to join our team.
Today I need to go to the distributor in the morning to pick up some wine and then have some more computer work. We did get a new truck yesterday! We went back to Chevy from Ford. Our Ford had 20,000 miles on it and was a couple years old and we had about $5000 equity in it (meaning it was worth more than we owed) and my buddy who is the sales manager at the Chevy dealer used an employee’s name there to get us the dealer employee pricing on top of all the rebates and other incentives such as holdbacks, etc. Not sure if you understand the car business but there’s an inflection point when a used car or truck is at it’s peak value used, (usually 2 1/2 years after it was new) meaning there’s an optimum time to move it and get a new one. Dealers don’t really tell you this as they always try to get into used vehicles as cheap as possible. Anyhow our payment changed by $9 and we now have $8000 equity in our new truck and are driving a new 2015 HD2500 which is amazing. New cars these days even have Wifi hotspots in them like a router so you now have an internet connection and stuff! Lot’s of other upgrades too numerous to list as well.
Well time to go, it’s 6:15 already and I need to get moving. Lori needs to leave at 7 so she’s in the shower. We decided since we’re always tired these days, we should probably start going to bed at 6pm!
Take care and God Bless.
