2. Hello! Welcome back to Arbor Watch. I added an
Athletics lot finally. Unlocking the athletics career. I
downloaded it off of MTS, I wrote down who made it,
but I can’t find it in my notes….I’ll put the link on the
Boolprop thread. It’s a cool lot.

3. Poor Matthew is afraid to be alone in his own bedroom
and begins the day screaming for Brandon.

4. But Brandon is stuck washing the dogs. Which he always
seems to be doing.

5. He stops long enough to plop Matthew on the floor. He
heads straight for the bunny head. Good. Andrea Cooke
wants to join the Entertainment Career. She needs all
the help she can get.

6. As soon as the sun’s up I send Brandon to check out the
new soccer stadium. Pretty spiffy huh?

7. I let him only stay a few minutes. He has work to do at
the gym. Lover boy here has another affair with Allyn.
*sigh*

8. At home Brandon eats a quick breakfast and checks to
see if the Athletics career is available. It isn’t. He’s still
stuck on house husband duty for now.

9. Dagmar makes a quick getaway to her store. See
Brandon working on his honey-do list in the back.

10. Orlando gives Bertino’s Bolts rank 4. Sweet.

11. After a few hours Dagmar closes the shop. I had her call
Orlando back over for a few dates. That got her
aspiration up high enough to use the energizer. It’s hard
to keep the hand made stock up without spending some
extra time at the store. She netted herself a gold robotics
badge. So eventually there will be servos.

12. Home again and Brandon’s still working on his honey-do
list.

13. Matthew is sleeping so Dagmar works on her robot
inventory. Cleanbots and Hydrobots don’t make
themselves.

14. Brandon spend the evening with Matthew. Despite not
really rolling any wants to interact with Matthew,
Brandon is quite close to his son.

15. Day Two and Orlando dropped off a date gift. I tuck it
safely into Dagmar’s inventory to sell in her store. Easy
way to get some good stock.

16. Day two and Brandon finishes teaching Matthew to talk.

17. So cute. Even if Brandon’s a bit of a scoundrel.

18. Dagmar finally got the slacker career rewards. Yipee!

19. Now that the Althetic career is unlocked it’s time to work
on Brandon’s LTW. No luck today though. Maybe next
time.

20. Cinnamon and Ginger grew up into lovely
looking dogs. Cinnamon looks like Pepper. But
Ginger favors Leroy more except in coloring.

21. I had Brandon adopt Moody from the pound. Ginger and
him got off to a great start.

22. Dagmar needs to go to Bertino’s Bolts. Hoping they get
a decent amount of money this rotation so I can improve
the family’s community lots.

23. Ben and Dagmar chat it up. They have one bolt, but
Dagmar’s not really getting anywhere with him. He did
big her the big screen TV as a network gift. Sweet.

24. Chandler Platz gave the business rank 5. I need to marry
him in. Arbor Watch needs more red heads.

25. Dagmar calls Orlando over for a quick pick me up. She’s
as shameless as Brandon. *sigh*

26. After the date Dagmar works on robots until the evil
witch decides to soak everything. Rain isn’t good for
electronics, lady.

27. ACR was set off as soon as Dagmar got home. Please
don’t try for a baby.

28. As soon as Dagmar and Brandon were decent they got
Matthew to his birthday cake.

29. His older siblings even managed to get there in time.

30. First cake was a dud. But now Benedict, Leon and Cassie
have a chance to get into the dining room.

31. Matthew looks a lot like Brandon. I like him. So cute
with that red hair.

32. The prolonged party takes it’s toll on Matthew. Poor
tyke passes out in the kitchen after washing his cake
plate.

33. Matthew is sent to bed. Brandon spends time with his
step kids until it’s time for them to head home.

34. Orlando leaves another date gift. More stock for the
store!

35. Sweet a genie lamp. Looks like we’ll be working on the
business for sure this rotation.

36. Brandon’s up first. He wishes for money of course.

37. And of course he’s been wanting a hot tub. I figured he
could have one, since what is a romance sim without a
hotub.

38. Jebediah Cooke came walking by with Thumper, I had
Matthew run out and greet Jeb.

39. The boys spent the day together and had a blast.
They’re quite cute together. It’s good for Matthew to
have a friend….hmm this gives me ideas.

40. Brandon headed up to his gym, leaving Dagmar to watch
the boys.

41. Using the genie money some upgrades to the gym were
made. Thinking back, I wish I had put the gym on a
bigger lot. Oh well, too late now.

42. The review came but spent all his time hanging out on the
ballet bar. So Brandon didn’t get a review. Just as well as
suppose the gym isn’t entirely finished.

43. As soon as pajama Brandon gets home, it’s Daggie’s turn
to go to her shop.

44. Bertino’s Bolts is doing well. Marion got her silver
cash register badge so yay no more long lines.

45. Of course as soon as she gets home, it straight off to
work.

46. But Daggie did bring home a promotion to Freelance
Web Designer.

47. Because I love dogs, here’s Pepper and Ginger, in case
you’ve forgotten they’re around. I can’t wait until
Ginger and Moody start having babies.

48. Now that the athletics career is unlocked, Brandon’s on a
job hunt. No luck today, but we’ll keep trying.

49. Today is Family Sunday, Brandon’s inviting over the
Goodies for a day of fun.

50. Herbert and Faith brought along their eldest daughter,
Ruth. So Matthew would have a play mate.

51. The adults bolt for the hot tub. I have to watch
Brandon like a hawk because he finds Faith
quite attractive. Randy Romance sims, sigh.

52. Matthew invites Jebediah over for a summer water
balloon fight.

53. They’re kind enough to let Ruth join in.

54. Though it appears Ruth is getting the raw end of the
deal.

55. Dagmar and Faith got a chance to get to know each
other fairly well. They were good friends by the time
Faith and Herbert headed home.

56. The boys parted best friends, they’re so
cute aren’t they?

57. Brandon rolled the want for a car, so I indulged
him a truck. He doesn’t like the car guy to me, a
man needs a big truck.

58. Brandon works on his painting skills cause I want to try
to get some portraits painted. I’ve been rather lax in the
that regard.

59. Brandon was up late so I sent him to work for a
few hours.

60. Since it’s Reno Day, I made a small improvement to the
gym. Eventually I’ll switch out the coke machine, but
they’ll work for now.

61. Of course, Brandon just has to go on at least one date
while he’s at work.

62. Dagmar summoned the Genie and wished money. It
was the last wish, but for some reason the wishes
reset and we had three again. I’m not going to
complain too much though.

63. And it’s RENO DAY!!! Which I’ve already said, but in case you
weren’t excited enough. I redid the Lillard’s outdated
kitchen. Now it’s all nice and shiny.

64. As soon as Matthew is off to school, Brandon and
Dagmar spend some rather glitchy alone time in the hot
tub.

65. Brandon went to bed and Dagmar went to work. This
time hopefully making enough money to bring Bertino’s
Bolts indoors.

66. Dagmar’s date of choice this go around is Joe Carr.

67. Of course Goopy choses that exact moment to walk
by and catch Daggie cheating.

68. Despite Goopy’s antics Joe Carr still gives Bertino’s
Bolts rank six.

69. A few hours later Dagmar had a date with Orlando.
Which cause Family Sim Tosha Go to freak out.

70. Of course, then they made everyone freak out…

71. Dagmar finally had to hire someone to help with the
robot making. And Sarah was the victim of choice.

72. Overall it was a fairly productive day. Finally got
a roof over the place, it’s coming all nicely.

73. Back home the house is quiet and peaceful.

74. Brandon looks for a job, and TaaDaa! Bam, he finally
gets a job in the Athletics Career.

75. He celebrate by playing with Matthew. Despite being a
roaming romance sim, he’s a pretty good dad.

76. That’s for the Lillards and it on to the Goodies 
