Monsoon's in the evening

So tonight I had told the monster that I would come over and help him with the fan conversion on the buick. As I drove from the datacenter south to his place in chandler, I could see the monsoon roling in from the south and east. it was still well over 100 and very humid.. I could not believe how much I was sweting, still driving the chia with no A/C.

I got to the house and loren said he needed to run for some parts and asked if I would like to do that. I dove around bout a hour or so I suppose before I got everything and got back to the house. We spent at least 2 hours working on the car, and I was actually quite shocked that every thing worked the first time, it took forever but it all seemed to work.. as we were finishing the car the wind picked up and you could smell the moisture in the air. The whole time there was lightning all around us but not alot of thunder.

After the car was finished we cleaned up everything and went into the house. I was ready for a dip in the pool and the monsta said he would go get us some towels. When I got in the pool it was absoutly devine. it was warm, and refreshing. It could not have been more perfect.

Shortly after the monster joined me wearing those blue shorts that I ALWAYS see him in I imagine he will wear them out before to long.. LOL. he got in the pool with me and we marveled at the storm that was moving in. more wind than aything else which seemed about normal for the beggning of a monsoon, just before I had gotten in the pool JO JO had called me and told me that central PHX was getting HAMMERED with rain and Cheapers (his pet duck) was running around in the rain. We were in the pool prolly about 20-30 minutes when we decided to get into the hot tub.

We sat in the hot tub for a little while, and talked about nothing inparticular, just kinda shotin the breese. He mentioned that he really missed me, and I had to admit that I missed him too. I reflect back on that comment, and I think that is a big thing for him to admit to me. The wind picked up and the lightning seemed to be getting a little closer, but not a whole log of thunder yet. I sudgested that we get out of the hot tub and go inside, as we were walking in the door there was a flash of lightning that looked like it was across the streed followed by a clap of thunder less than a second later, this scared the crap out of both of us.

we came in just as it started to rain.. and BOY did it rain, within 5 minutes there was a river running out of the down spouts and the cooldecking had at least 3" of standing water on it. Timing is everything I guess. we sat and watched the rain and the thunder and lightning as it passed over about a 45 minute show I would guess. Monster heald Croozer so that he would stop shaking and panting, he was very scared. we went out later after the storm (12:30) to wendy's to get some food, and I crashed on the couch cause I really was to tired to drive back to central PHX and didn't want to deal with the scary people on the road.

so thats about it. over all I could not have asked for a better night. makes me miss the past ALOT. but I know that I am happy now and ready to let whatever happens, happen.
