I'm constantly reminded of what a blessing it is to enjoy what you do for a living.  Many might doubt that I do much anyway (LOL) but apparently whatever it is is still considered a commodity worth paying for. 

Today, after the usual two hours doing the weather in the studio, I zipped up to Lake Pleasant for some fun on the water.  And today my buddy, photographer Tom Fergus, brought along his wireless camera, so he was able to be out on the lake with me in his own boat while I took a spin on a waverunner.  What a BLAST! 

The lake was practically empty, so after we went to commercial I headed for open water to see "what she could do."  What she can do is 84 mph.  Yikes.  I'm not much of a daredevil, and it didn't feel like 84 to me, but I'll trust the speedometer.  Of course, as I said, I was the only one around for a half mile or more.  F-U-N!  I don't recommend those speeds on a weekend, but it was quite a ride...

Also, check out the "duck boats", the WWII landing amphibious craft that carry sightseers from land to water and back again along the lake.  We had some fun on one of those, too...

You don't work Cory, you have to much fun. But that is better than getting soused or smoking yourself to death. Been there, done that. Enjoy !

Bet 84 mph made for a bad hair day Cory :0)

Def check out duck boats, my kids went on one in London that tours around the sights on land, then just drives into the River and see the sights from the Thames, they had a blast on those duck boats!!

I have not been to the lake forever!!

Cory, I did the duck boat tour at the Wisconsin Dells, a great tour! Across the lake, and then a nice trip through the woods before heading back across the lake to where we started. If you can talk FOX into it, you would love it.

Corey, not really related to this blog but I wanted to thank you for coming out to the Salvation Army today. Not only did you help with the pack to school program but your visit to the front office gave us social workers lots to talk about! Thanks again and we hope to see you at Christmas. It will be cooler then..umm right??? :o)

Corey...you work...and it is appreciated!

I enjoy watching you on the television. And I had the opportunity to meet you in the Circle K in Queen Creek last week.

You hear the nightmare stories of people on television having attitudes...and you definately did not.

I'm a big fan of Fox 10 and of you!

Keep up the good WORK!

I believe mcoalson just merely misplaced the 'e'. Might have meant Cory "E" McCloskey
for 'Energized' .... just like the Bunny! :o)

Thanks, all, for the kind words!

We really do have a lot of fun down here. I guess it shows!

I'm off on vacation until the 18th, when we begin our 5-HOUR show! Hang with us until 10 each morning if you can!

Thanks for checking in! My goal is to make Fox10 mornings fun ones, and I'm still having a blast after all these years... When I'm not at the station, my wife and I are usually chasing around three kids, two dogs and a cat or ramming around the Valley in the Sedona. If you see me out and about anywhere, be sure to say howdy!
