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. 

















Italy PT. 3

 Yep. Still having fun on the honeymoon. Looks hot. Food looks good. No, not real cigars, chocolate. OOTD narrations have been taken over by Andrew. Solid stuff.











Italy PT. 2

 Kids seem to still be having fun overseas. Here are a few updates. “And don’t forget the cannoli.”

Parade

 Upgrade! For my faithful readers and new lurkers out there, a quick throwback to last years Stampede Parade on that scorching Friday morning: the parade entry for “Ryan Roth for Greeley City Council At-Large” was #112. This year I was able to RIDE, not walk, on entry #11 “Greeley City Council.” It was still a scorcher, but this year I was on the route at 9:11 and was done by 9:49 and home by 1030. Nice broadcast by 9News, lots of supporters on the route, and very tired arms from all the waving.
