Guess today is the first day of Fall. Thought the news said that yesterday. In any case, it’s today.
Now to the game. Words can’t describe what happened. It was back and forth, and we actually outplayed them but had two huge lapses and let them score on two special teams plays. In the end, with 2 seconds left, we had to throw a 45-yard pass for a touchdown to get to overtime. The probability of this has to be like one in a million or more, especially in the rain. But we did it! Then we scored in overtime and our best player, and probably the best player in college football, forced a turnover and we won! Jag was going crazy at the game. So happy for him being there as it was one that’ll go down in history. So much fun.
Earlier in the day we went to Costco after meeting Greg and Jae. Turns out they brought their little Ford Explorer and didn’t rent a U-Haul as they said they were going to. We gave them some stuff and they were on their way back to Denver.
Lori was busy yesterday. She made probably 8 quarts of homemade chicken stock, some more homemade pesto with basil from our garden, and then a smoked chicken, hatch green chili soup. On top of that, she made a homemade bourbon apple crisp for dessert. She’s channeling her inner Martha Stewart these days.
The chicken is great as we don’t use any salt but instead use a BBQ rub. She froze a bunch of stock and pesto in the freezer.
Today the Broncos are on at 11. I hate to say I think we’ll win, as all logic says we’ll lose. But I think we’ll win. I don’t gamble though so it doesn’t really matter what I think, ha.
Ty wants to buy a truck. Used car prices are still way up, just like real estate. They shouldn’t be as high as they are, but people are just into their stuff too deep or way too proud of their crap. We’ll keep looking. We told him, if he gets something new, he’d better take better care of it than he did his Audi. You can’t take an Audi A4 off roading or 4 wheeling.
Nice up here and it didn’t freeze last night. It’s actually kind of warm in the mid 40’s. We had a little rain last night but nothing bad. It’s really beautiful outside right now with low hanging clouds and some fog. Good hunting weather. We’re off to the gym and then will get ready for the game at 11.
Time to get ready for winter. We had our builder measure the roof yesterday to put on another 60 feet of snow fences. This helps with drifts building up from snow falling off the roof into big piles. We (he) should have done this when we built the house, ha.
That’s it, have a great day and enjoy the first day of Fall! God Bless.
