Buena Vista, Hot Springs, Halo Bolt, Time You Enjoy Wasting

Good morning from Buena Vista, CO. My wife, I, and 14 friends have descended upon a group of cabins in the woods; we use one room for operations; dine, drink, and then walk to the hot springs. We met in our ops room; everyone brought an appetizer, we were in bed by 8:30, a great night of sleep, and today, we will do round two.

We will be here through tonight, have breakfast in the morning, and then make our way back to our mountain top chalet. We have unusual weather; it's 70 degrees and sunny here; the hot springs are James Brown Too Hot, but still enjoyable. The resort is about an hour from our house; we will be making a return trip this fall.

We spent our morning in Salida; I got a few notes about my misspelling of the town yesterday; I'm sorry, I am human and will continue to make mistakes. But I'm doing my best; thank you to all who let me know how to "speeel" Salida. My wife got pottery in a great little town with some nice shots; I picked up some second-hand flannel shirts a good day before meeting the rest of the crew.  

We are providing breakfast for the group this morning, we have 3 pounds of cooked bacon, and Patricia is making an egg casserole and homemade doughnuts. After that, we will have some mimosas and then head back to enjoy the hot springs.

Still a little sad about the passing of Taylor Hawkins, the drummer for the Foos. They ran a toxicology report, no matter the cause; it's unfortunate for his family, friends, and millions of fans. Some speculate if they will shut it down, get a replacement drummer, or maybe move Dave back to drums, but I think they will postpone some dates, find another great drummer, and move on. There are 25 years of music history and a world tour planned for the next two years.

I do have a product recommendation for you. It's called t3he Halo ACDC Bolt. You can find it on Amazon, and it's a battery that can power your p.c., your phone, it lasts a long time and can even jump your car. It comes with small jumper cables; it's a must-have if you are a road warrior. Use code "word soup" to get an extra 10% off.

Our room is excellent; it has a fireplace, a small kitchen, a king bed that was amazing. We got a great night of sleep and are looking forward to a great day of fun, sun, sitting in the hot spring creeks, and telling stories. If you have plans to visit Colorado this year, visit this place:

We return home tomorrow and then fly back to Indy for a few days. I'm looking forward to meeting my new grand kid if we can work it out. We've got a few days back in Colorado before heading back and doing a residency in our indy home. We are going to watch our kids cat Joleen, a cool creature, I'm looking forward to the hang.

I just realized that my cell phone has zero bars, I jumped on their free wifi to allow me to publish this soup. My wife is in the shower, I will follow her, then we will start our day and enjoy some r and r. I think work is important, but so is play and when you can play with your friends, it makes for a beautiful adventure.
