Today we have two games, and they’ll probably be better than the Super Bowl which is two weeks from today. By the way, two weeks from today will be February 12th which will be 2 days short of halfway through the month!
Yesterday we hung out here for most of the day. We tried to go to the gym but the highway was closed from about 6am to noon due to a semi that crashed on the highway. No new snow here. It’s cold in Denver but not so bad up here.
Ty slept in yesterday as he went to Denver Health in the middle of the night the night before last as his friend was jumped and mugged walking home from a club Friday night. Nothing good happens after midnight and that’s especially true in the cities. I’d rather take my chances with mountain lions and coyotes up here than the “animals” (sarcasm) in the cities. Up here if I shoot one, I’m probably not going to court.
The games start at 1 this afternoon! That gives us time to get some things done this morning. I have a call with Jake up in Wyoming sometime this morning. I’ve known Jake for 20 years as his family lived next to our ranch on the Wyoming side and has been there for over 100 years. Jake is a real cowboy and knows horses like nobody else. I think we’re going to go together on some ranch horses to make some side money. We’ll buy them and Jake will raise and train them and then they’ll go to one of the big ranch horse sales where we’ll sell them. This doesn’t sound like much but if you have the right guy (Jake) and buy the right colt for a few thousand dollars, you can sell them for $15-$30K in a year making a nice profit for both of us. It’s just one of our side hustles these days. We’re also looking at getting half a dozen black angus cows that another friend who now lives down east of Pueblo, will raise and we should make another $10-$20K down there. Too bad dad isn’t around, I’m sure he’d love to be part of this. It’s actually very low risk if you have the right people as partners and we’ve known both of these friends for 20 years plus and 100% trust them. More to come in the next month or two but now is the time ranchers are looking for calves and colts.
Nowadays you need a few side hustles to make it. Our hope is that we can earn enough to pay for one of the boys college costs each year.
Dixie is doing fine. She stayed in bed most of the day as it was a gloomy day. A 4 Star General predicted yesterday we’ll be at war with China by 2025. What is the World coming to? Five black cops, obviously bad cops, beat up a black man during a traffic stop in Memphis who later died, and get this, the liberal media are blaming white people and the GOP for his death! One so called journalist is even blaming Ron DeSantis, the Governor of Florida? Even though this was black on black crime, somehow it’s white people’s fault. Give me a break.
So as you can see, all’s good in the World, wow. Now we can’t let ourselves get consumed 24/7 with all the bad and negativity going on. The majority of the people in the World are good people. The lesson here is to be aware of the bad ones and try to make a difference by being one of the good ones! Good luck! Enjoy the day and God Bless.
Here’s our friend Jake and his wife, great people.
