Funny Nokia Twilight commercial

Back from the depths of abandoned blogs.

Hello all, like I said before I haven't abandoned this blog, and still do not intend to.  The family is back in Forks from the hospital, have been for a bit, but things are still hectic.  It should just be two more appointments before our son Brodie can start walking on his own again.  He started kindergarten but has not been able to attend many days because of doctor's appointments.  Also either my wife or I has to accompany him to school to help him get around, this is a difficult task with two working parents.  We missed the best part of summer in Forks because we were living in the hospital for a month.  So now the summer is winding down as are the tourists and Twilight sales.  On the plus side my name is getting around and business is picking up with word of mouth advertising.  I will just keep doing the best I can to get my name out there associated with good work.

Quick Update

Well, if anyone visits this page and you see it hasn't been updated in a while, I'm letting you know I have not abandoned this blog.  I've been out of town, my son was in an accident and is over at Harborview Medical Center.  My wife, his mom, is with him right now but I will be heading back over soon.

Time to hit the ol' watering hole

Well it's another scorcher fur us in Forks, WA.  We hit over 90° yesterday and supposed to hit about 85° today so I think we're going to go down to lake pleasant and do some swimming.  It's so seldom we get the weather to do so around here, we have to jump on it when we have the chance.

Sunny all week, except for the 4th.

Well for me the 4th was a bit of a bust.  The wife had to work and our son was sick as a dog.  We watched the parade in the morning and he enjoyed that, but the rest of the day he slept.  I missed out on the derby and park activities because the little guy was sick, but it's ok cause it was heavy mist all day anyway.  So the vamps got to enjoy the 4ths activities this year.  However since then we have been vampire free as it has been sunshiny and hot outside (anything 80° or higher is sweltering for us).  There were lots of Twilighters in town on and around the 4th so business has been good the past week.

Moonlight Madness

It's Moonlight Madness time here in Forks, which means the shops in our podunk town stay open late tonight.  Usually most stores are closed up by 6 or 7, but on Moonlight Madness they're open from 7-11.  Hey vampires have to shop during the summer too right?  A lot of the store's also run special sales, there's some food and drink vendors around and they run a mini train through town (they used to have a trolley).  They are also shutting part of the road down this year looks like.

Eclipse debuts tonight

Well Twilight: Eclipse premieres tonight and I'll scour the web tomorrow to find shots of the premiere in Port Angeles.  It's been sunny lately here which is nice to see after all that rain.

Officially Summer

Well yesterday marked the first official day of summer and the tourists are starting to come in more and more.  More people are starting to learn that I'm here and I'm getting more business cards handed out.  Things have been slow going, but that was expected at first.  Summer is not going to be my best computer repair time around here as it's the only decent weather we get round here and most people are spending it outside.  That's where I hope the tourist Twilight crowd can help supplement the income a little.  I have pretty cool and unique items, at least once or more a day I get people taking a picture of my product in the window and sign.  As traffic increases hopefully too does the window shopper to shopper ratio.

Sun, Rain, Sun, Rain

Well the sun has been on and off so far this week but we should have mainly sunny days ahead.  I actually got a few sales today, so hopefully the summer tourist season is kicking off.
