Mornings are good. That means you made it through another day. They’re also a fresh start which we all get every 24 hours. That’s why every morning is a good morning!
We went to the Village yesterday and did a little shopping and stopped to see some friends. On the way home we hit a couple other small stores in Edwards where Lori found a couple things for our trip. Ty was off today but is working today until around 1 or so as the only other fulltime employee, Andy, abruptly quit two days ago. When I say fulltime, I mean someone who can do everything in the restaurant from opening, to covering the register to making coffee to running the floor. He also is the resident bartender. He came up with this killer drink Jagger named The Sunburn. Molly the owner, calls it a Tie Me Up, or Ty Me Up, ha. He’s also now one of only two in the full tip pool, meaning he’ll make even more money. Employees get their share of tips depending on what all they can do in the restaurant. They have to pass a series of tests on each facet of the job to make the full tip pool. He worked from 7am until 6:30pm yesterday. Good for him. He’s sort of the de facto manager now. Most of the other kids there are high school students or others with little experience. We’ll stop and see him after the gym.
We’re going to head into the Village for the Farmer’s Market later this morning. Vail has one of the best markets in the State. The other is Aspen. There must be well over 100 vendors, and it’s just not food. You can get everything from unique clothes to custom made cutlery, and just about anything else handmade you could think of.
Marty has shingles and leaves for Beverly Hills today for a weeklong real estate conference. Poor guy. Not sure how you get it, but no fun.
Meanwhile, it’s nice and cool at night and beautiful in the morning, just the way we like it. Good rain this year too so our backyard is booming.
I did get both cars washed yesterday. We always take Lori’s car to the Village as it’s easier to park than the truck. That gave me the chance to wash it.
100 million people, or a third of the Country, are under a heat alert. Hard to beat where we live. The only thing that’d make it better was if we had a river or lake out the back door. Colorado is perfect except for the political makeup in Denver and the California transplants. We needed to build a wall around the State about ten years ago. We’re in the top ten of States that people are leaving, hard to believe. Says a lot.
I’m in Denver tomorrow picking up my golf clubs and Lori is working in Vail. Last week of June, time flies. I’m meeting up with Shultz to finalize some plans for Madrid.
6:24 now, time to get going. You know where we’re going right? To the gym! Have a great Sunday, be well, stay safe and God Bless.
