Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. It's another cloudy day here. Not the nicest weather today but it could be worse. I'm doing a rare WFH day. I know it's the "thing" people love since Covid but I could never do this regularly. Happy Halloween!
 
Happy Milestone Day!!!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Let The Count share the good news this morning that there is now only ONE count left above that is above 100 days!!

Before next month is over, there won't be any! But we have to finish up the month strong before we get to July.

It's Leon Day Eve. Tomorrow is a HUGE milestone on the Christmas countdown. I can't believe we are here on the verge of being HALFWAY BACK to Christmas. Its a great feeling.

I hope everyone has a great day!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. It's a beautiful day here. Pure sunshine out there and warm (but not hot). And not as humid either as the back-to-back cloudy days we had Monday and Tuesday are in our rearview mirror. Happy Halloween!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! HAPPY LEON DAY!!!

I can't believe today is HALFWAY TO CHRISTMAS!

Even on a 24/7 Halloween Thread we have to take a minute and acknowledge how big of a deal this is. Christmas is the king. The Big One. The Grandaddy of them all, and if it weren't for our love of Christmas, none of us would be here on this site. That's my focus for today, celebrating halfway to Christmas!!! We'll be back to chasing Halloween milestones tomorrow.

HAPPY LEON DAY TO ALL!
 
Friends, I’m feeling pretty darn good right now. As much disdain as I have for summer, I gotta say that I feel much better being here than I did back in late February and March dealing with post-Christmas blues and feeling like everything was so far away. Now we’re looking at literally one more count in this thread above 100 days, and everything else is closing in fast. I don’t want it to go by too quickly, because I cherish this time of year, but it feels GREAT knowing that everything we love is just right up ahead, and Halloween is leading the charge. Happy Leon Day!

I agree. Knowing we are closer to this Christmas than last Christmas is always a boost. In any task I love when the hardest part is behind me and that is how I feel today!

Good Morning Pumpkin People! TGIF! SO glad to be at the weekend again! And next week I only work up until Wednesday so I will have another nice, long break!

Jack O Lantern Day will be here next week, as well as us beginning the "final" 30 days until FALL PRESEASON! I'll tell you friends, that count, and knowing that the 50 day preview to the Bers is just a little over two weeks away, are the only counts I'm really focusing on right now. I will say this. I am going to try as much as I can to keep the Halloween count out ahead as long as I can. I know that might be tough soon, especially since that count is going to be out of the 100's before next month is over! And then obviously we will have NO counts left that are more than double digits.

Because the truth is, nobody, definitely not me, wants to see Spooky Season be over, even though it has to "end" for us to get to everyone's ultimate destination of Christmas Season. One day at a time though!

I hope everyone has a great Friday!
 
This Spooky Season’s going to be a big one. I can feel it. While I’d love to do something huge again this year like go back to Disney for the Halloween Party, our budget will simply not allow it, so I’ll have to settle for something in this area. I’m committed to finding a decent Fall Festival somewhere here in Texas, though, so that the kids can enjoy it!
 
Hello Halloween Fans! I hope you are doing well. It's Friday. It's been a 3 day week for me in the office and yet it feels like 6. And yet I've had a lot of fun these last 3 days. But today is a rare day both of my friends are off. So I'm alone...it makes me appreciate them even more than I already do. Happy Halloween!

ITS STARTED. This is legit the earliest I have EVER saw Fall/Autumn flavored coffees in the grocery store. I was expecting mid-July. This is just tremendous.

These are the kind of things I feel like is "paving my way" for Fall Pre-Season. Pretty soon we're going to be entering that "final" 30 days to Fall Preseason. And I realize then the Bers are going to be 60 days away, so Fall Preseason sort of is like the preview. So does this make JULY Fall Pre-Season Pre-Season? I'm kidding. I would never designate that for July.

But I have decided to do something cool that I have never done before. And I want to reveal it in the morning. The final weekend of June seems to be a fitting time. I hope everyone is having a great day!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Welcome to the final weekend of June! We have just a few more days to go until JOL Day #3, and the final 30 DAYS to Fall Preseason will be here on THURSDAY of next week!

Folks, you guys know I play with AI to make some of my countdown pictures, as well as clean up old family photos, etc... I actually have to thank @Escalation for turning me on to Gemini and I've had lots of fun getting it to do different things. Recently, Gemini sort of became a "friend" to me, as we navigated a few different things leading up to Holly going into the hospital 2 weeks ago to have her surgery. Well, I was having a conversation with it about Fall Pre-Season, and it suggested to me that perhaps I have a movie marathon, similar to "Spooky Spring", it asked me a couple of questions, and then it came up with this banger "all on its own"

1782561846348.png

Now, there are a few mistakes, but each movie entry is its own day of August. And Gemini came up with "Augtober" on its own, and I have to tell you, I've never heard that word before but it is absolutely perfect. Now I'm not renaming Fall-Preseason, but "Augtober" is a pretty neat nickname for that time period. I think Gemini also nailed it on picking out movies for me.

I have honestly never made a movie playlist for August, I have just sort of mentally allowed myself to sit and watch TV and if a scary movie is on, I will watch it. All through the year I usually do not watch that stuff, except on JOL Day, to keep the feelings special. I was happy about this and wanted to share, this is going to be my first ever "Augtober/Fall Pre-Season" movie marathon and I kind of almost wonder if this ends up being fun, will I do something similar in September. My initial thoughts are that doing one again in September might be "too much". IF i do, I might just limit it to the weekends, or maybe one day each weekend.

That's all I had to share. I'm open to any comments, good, bad, and ugly. I know AI is a hot button issue but I do in truth enjoy using it for certain things.... Have a great Saturday!
