Oh NOW we have a window A/C unit.

Look at you, Josh.

Big hero. 😂

Sir...

I've been hot for three damn weeks.

Now you've got plastic hanging across the hallway so we can actually cool the living room, dining room and kitchen.

And you bought a dehumidifier for the basement.

It works.

It feels good in here.

I'm comfortable.

But don't you dare start acting like you saved the day.

You were three weeks late, du***ss.

I'm taking the couch.

You can take the criticism.

I tried the shop.

Too hot.

Tried home.

Too hot.

Tried the other home.

Also too damn hot.

So apparently...

I live in a bathroom now. 😂

Honestly?

Cold tile.

A/C.

Unlimited toilet water.

This might be the best decision anybody around here has made all week.

Apparently the office is no longer suitable for royalty.

Too hot.

Too much panting.

Zero stars.

Fortunately, I found better accommodations.

Private bathroom.

Air conditioning.

Dog TV.

And yes, I took the iPad.

If somebody's looking for it...

Keep looking. 😂

The princess is occupied.

COOKOUT DATE IS OFFICIAL

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH 🐾

Yeah...

September 4th snuck up on my human.

I was ready to give him absolute hell for it.

Then I realized...

This is Josh's last weekend at the old house with the boy.

The other two already grew up and moved out.

And after this weekend...

there won't be any kids living there anymore.

I don't like that sentence.

At all.

Apparently nobody asked the dog how she felt about everybody growing up and leaving.

So Josh gets a pass.

My last cookout at the old house is Saturday, September 12th.

But this weekend?

I'm letting my human have one last weekend at home with his boy.

Some things you don't get to do twice.

Hold on...

Did you hear that?!

Because I sure as hell did. 😂

Somebody just drove through our parking lot and their suspension had a whole lot to say.

They kept driving to one of the neighboring businesses.

Sir...

Come back. I know some people.

One more thing:

PUPPY DOG'S LAST COOKOUT is officially Saturday, September 12th.

No more maybes. We have to push it back one week.

I'll see you then. 🐾

COOKOUT UPDATE

We may have to move it to Saturday, September 12th.

Josh had two people say they were going to help him deep clean the old house and get everything ready.

Well...

Nobody showed up. 😂

So the man's flying solo and we may need a little more time.

I’ll give everybody the definite answer tomorrow.

As for today...

91° in the shop.

Fans everywhere.

Air movers everywhere.

All we've accomplished is making the hot air move faster. 😂

Might send the guys packing around 3:00.

I need mechanics.

Not beef jerky.

Well...

This week is apparently going to be hotter than hell.

It’s already 81° in the shop and the air mover decided to clock out permanently.

Perfect. 😂

So if you’re working outside today:

Drink water.

Take a damn break.

Find some shade.

Nobody gets a trophy for passing out at work.

And depending on how hot this shop gets, we may be calling it early today too.

These humans are no good to me cooked.

Me?

I’ll be parked in the office because neither house has A/C right now and this dog has standards.

Stay safe, humans.

Josh binge-watched movies and slept most of the weekend.

That's it.

No wrenching.
No running around.
No "I'll just do one more thing."

For a man who's spent almost 20 years acting like rest is illegal...

I'm calling this progress.

I've been trying to teach him for years that sometimes doing nothing is exactly what you're supposed to do.

Now let's see how stressed out he gets tomorrow because he thinks taking a weekend off means he was lazy. 😂

Sir...

Your body needed it.

Well, well, well...

LOOK WHO HAS A COLLAR AGAIN.

Thank you, Noel, for finding my stuff because apparently Josh needed adult supervision. 😂

Pink stars today for Dolly Parton. 💗

I'm dressed. Order has been restored.

Edit*** with the flood of amazing people reaching out we are going to take our time to let everybody reach out over the weekend. We will most likely start going through stuff Monday through Tuesday

I have an opening for another office human.

Requirements:

Answer the phone.
Talk to customers.
Schedule cars.
Help with estimates and invoices.
Keep up with parts.
Send updates.
Keep the office from turning into whatever Josh thinks "organized" means.

You'll learn the systems we use, and automotive knowledge is a big plus.

Now let's discuss Josh.

Sometimes he's loud.

Sometimes you'll hear:

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

from somewhere in the building.

Don't panic.

He's probably arguing with a car.

Or a computer.

Or a bolt.

Or himself.

He's not mad at you.

He's just a whiny mechanic who occasionally communicates with broken objects at full volume. 😂

If you're dependable, can deal with people and don't scare easily when a grown man starts complaining about a printer...

P.S. Remember that bright hot-pink collar Josh promised me around lunchtime?

Yeah.

About that.

He left to run errands and STILL hasn't come back.

Apparently he'll be here around 4 to pick me up.

Sir...

You have until then to produce my collar.

I'm keeping track.
