After 5 1/2+ years with Cobalt, Dad’s remote assignment ended yesterday (he knew it was coming from about a month ago) and he has new job prospects that he is am working on (more to come on that shortly). So today he is taking it easy and doing some overdue stuff around the house this week. We (me, Nick and the cats) will miss having him around all day, but know he will be happy with a new job and the idea of making new friends (maybe they will bring me food….!!!).
Hard to believe it’s October already… but Nick and I are enjoying the cooler weather out on the patio and the walks with Mom & Dad in the neighborhood.
Apparently Dad was just a little too out of it as he went the wrong direction with the ISO and is a bit UNHAPPY with most of the shots he got from last night latest storm as most of the lightning shots are “blown out”…. guess the lack of sleep from Thursday’s storm caught up with him…
By using the Explorer, pulled the tree back towards how it was before… now with many stakings.. with storms expected this weekend… this may just be a temporary fix!
and Dad is PISSED OFF… STRONG winds a really strong storm came into our area Thursday night and knocked over his Mesquite … (which was not the birthday present Dad wanted for his birthday)
Take a look:
Mom did get him a cool pizza (that I am hoping he shares, a dog can hope, right?) for his 38th B-day..
Updates to come in the daylight, but we have a 2nd strong storm coming shortly so I have to get ready for that one!!
Dad had ABC15 over today and they were running a little late as they were supposed to here at 5pm.. but were about 20+ minute late. Once they did arrive Dad put us outside to wait and be out of the way on the patio, thankfully there is shade and yes it got a little warm but we were OK and they wanted to know why he (and us) watch ABC15.
They were here for about an hour and a half shooting shots out front with Dad speaking and then by their news truck and such.
The news truck in front of the house
Dad and the guys from ABC15 came back inside (while we still were waiting on the patio in the shade) and they asked him questions about What, Why, How long, What he likes etc. about ABC15. The promos are to air soon here in Phoenix.
Setting up the shot
I am sure Dad will send a link to some of you when (if) the promos hit the air!
So Nick & I had to go for baths today (we thought we smelled fine, BTW!) and it was not completely fun! I did OK and Dad seemed to be pleased that I attempted the best I could to be a good dog (I did shake ALL over him several times thou… HA HA HA!!)
Nick was not so happy about the bath and was rather difficult vs. the perfect little angel that I am … ;-P
NO PHOTOS WERE TAKEN, as Dad was (rightfully) afraid to bring it into the See Spot Clean Spa!
