To catch up on the first post read Never A Dull Moment Part 1

So this past Friday was the test. My wife and I both had to work and we can’t brings dogs into our offices (well I can sneak him in the side door, but its “against office policy”). OK back to the test… so the big test was leaving Klaus at home with the cast. He stays at home or with a friend everyday during the week. But since his hurt foot he can’t play so he has to stay home alone.

Well on Friday I came home for lunch and checked on the little guy. When I walked in our yard he was walking around and VERY happy to see me. Then I noticed… HE CHEWED HIS CAST OFF. He didn’t seem to be hurt and after taking him back to the vet to get his leg re-casted put my mind at ease. He didn’t re-injure himself.

So as you can see from the picture above… Klaus now wears a cone when he stays at home alone. I bet he gets better service then Dish Network.

This is the current temperature in Long Beach… It’s also the current temperature of the inside of my house. I’m sure it’s hot or even hotter in other cities but for me, its unbearable.

So, now this is how I’m staying cool. I have a portable air conditioner unit from Home Depot that I can move from room to room (don’t judge, I also have patio misters). This thing is rad, it has an exhaust pipe that you put out your window and it works really well.

This is not the exact model but you get the idea.

This unit works best after the sun goes down or at night (this way its not fighting the daytime heat from the blazing sun). I roll it into the bedroom and put it on timer mode. This way by the time I’m asleep and dreaming about Ice Cream the timer kicks in and turns it self off.

However the best way to stay cool during the day is to get on your bike and ride. Doesn’t matter where, pick a spot and go.
