Dirty- Pregame

 How did I miss posting the Dirty Heads show? Wood and I headed back to the happiest place on earth for the concert. I guaranteed Wood there was a 0% chance of rain, according to Apple Weather. So we dressed appropriately. Waited with a few other folks on the stairs instead of pregaming so we could make the mad dash in for seats and posters. Good news: row 5 center seats. Bad news: the merch truck broke down so there was only a few posters, blankets and pennets. The opening band was awesome! Second band sucked. And then…the rain and hail. I made the run back to the car to get raincoats. Thought for sure the show would be canceled. But nope. They got the squeegees out, dried the stage, and Dirty came out at 10:03. 

Golf/Art

 Last second addition to the schedule as we were the breakfast sponsor for the annual Evans Chamber golf tournament. Grateful there is only one more this summer. Nice to see friends and catch up with my Evans peeps. D is winding down his European vacation and will begin the long slog home today. Here’s some art. Bonus pictures of the swearing in ceremony for several new Greeley Police Department officers, with members from Council. 

Divorce

 Andrew is giving off his “divorce dad vibes” as Ari heads home to America and he spends another 10 days galavanting around Europe with his EF Tour kids. Rough summer for sure. I spent the day in Eaton…he was at the Coliseum. 

Fun/Not Fun

 Always tradeoffs on the side hustle! Was able to attend and represent Council at the 40th anniversary of OmniTrax in Windsor. Nice to catch up with the Mayor and several County Commissioners, have lunch and pick up some cool swag. The not as fun stuff is always looming on the horizon: continued budget discussions, data centers, and a big discussion and vote on the Civic Campus project. Still doesn’t help that the high temp the last 5 days has been 100. 

Hot

 Hottest week of the year so far, so let’s schedule outdoor events! Cigar night with the boys, movie night in Brighton, splash days in Kersey, our first Friday Fest of the summer and finally Eaton Days. Pretty sweet new trailer the City of Brighton acquired. I asked City Manager McBroom if we could get one. Only $170k. Thank god for our intern, or I’d be sunk. Not to mention all the work she put in during the Stampede, both with scheduling the booth and distribution of tickets. Survived the week and onto the next.
