🐶📰 **PUP NEWS ALERT: THUNDERSTORM ANXIETY** ⛈️

Florida summers bring plenty of sunshine, but they also bring those famous afternoon thunderstorms. While we may enjoy watching the rain roll in, many of our furry friends find storms frightening.

Signs of storm anxiety can include:
⚡ Excessive panting
⚡ Pacing
⚡ Trembling
⚡ Hiding
⚡ Barking or whining

Here are a few ways to help:
🐾 Create a safe, comfortable space indoors
🐾 Turn on calming music, a fan, or the TV to reduce storm noise
🐾 Stay calm and reassuring
🐾 Keep collars, ID tags, and microchip information up to date

Remember, pets can become disoriented and attempt to escape during severe weather. A little preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow.

Have a pet that's afraid of thunderstorms? Tell us what works for them in the comments!

🎥 Off the Clock with Harry

It's been a pretty busy week, but on the Nintendo front, it's been a GREAT week to be a child of the 90s.

🎮 About two weeks ago, Nintendo announced a remake of **Star Fox**, one of my all-time favorite games from the Nintendo 64 era.

⚔️ Then, just a few days ago, they announced that **The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time** is also getting a remake in 2026.

Now, am I excited? Absolutely.

Am I excited about buying remakes of two games I already owned 25+ years ago? Not exactly 😅

But honestly, there's something special about revisiting these adventures on modern hardware and seeing them brought to life for a new generation. Star Fox and Ocarina of Time were huge parts of my childhood, and I can't wait to experience them again.

☀️ On a completely different note, I need your help making a family decision.

I'm trying to plan something fun and memorable with my wife and daughters, and right now we're debating between:

✈️ iFLY Indoor Skydiving
https://www.iflyworld.com/orlando?categoryId=1237

🚤 CatBoat Clermont
https://catboatescapes.com/

💦 AquaGlow at Aquatica
https://aquatica.com/orlando/events/aquaglow/

These are the tough decisions we have to battle with here in Florida 😄

So help me out...

👇 Which one would you choose? 👇

✈️ Fly indoors
🚤 Cruise the lakes in a CatBoat
💦 Splash around at AquaGlow

Let me know in the comments!

🎮Fuera de Reloj con Harry – EDICIÓN BORICUA🎮

Hola mi gente 👋

Ha sido una semana bastante ocupada, pero en el mundo de Nintendo ha sido una semana espectacular para los que crecimos en los años 90.

🦊 Hace unas semanas anunciaron el regreso de Star Fox, uno de mis juegos favoritos del Nintendo 64.

⚔️ Y ahora también siguen creciendo los rumores sobre un posible regreso de The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, otro de los juegos que definió mi infancia.

No les voy a mentir... estoy súper emocionado.

¿Estoy emocionado de volver a comprar juegos que ya jugué hace más de 25 años? No necesariamente. 😅

Pero sí estoy emocionado de volver a vivir esas aventuras con gráficos modernos y en el Nintendo Switch 2. Hay algo especial en regresar a esos mundos que marcaron nuestra niñez.

☀️ Ahora necesito la ayuda de ustedes.

Estoy tratando de decidir qué aventura familiar hacer con mi esposa y mis hijas durante este verano, y estas son las opciones que estamos considerando:

✈️ iFLY Indoor Skydiving
https://www.iflyworld.com/orlando?categoryId=1237

🚤 CatBoat Clermont
https://catboatescapes.com/

💦 AquaGlow en Aquatica
https://aquatica.com/orlando/events/aquaglow/

Como pueden ver, los problemas aquí en Florida son bien difíciles de resolver 😂

👇 Ayúdenme a decidir 👇

✈️ Volar en iFLY
🚤 Explorar los lagos en CatBoat Clermont
💦 Disfrutar AquaGlow en Aquatica

Déjenme saber cuál escogerían ustedes.

Mientras tanto, aquí estaré esperando más noticias de Star Fox, Zelda y tratando de convencer a mi esposa de que cualquiera de las tres opciones es una excelente idea.

¡Buenas noches mi gente!

Homeownership can offer so much more than just a place to live. 🏡 For many buyers, it’s about creating stability, building long-term financial confidence, and putting down roots in a community they love. Every buyer’s goals look a little different, which is why finding the right home is about more than square footage alone. If you’ve been thinking about making the move from renting to owning, send me a message and let’s talk about your options!

The strongest jobs week we’ve seen in a long time was followed by surprisingly strong existing home sales and a relatively mild rise in “core” CPI. The Fed will meet next week to vote on the direction of interest rates, with no change to policy rates expected.

Veterans & Military Families - Here's a Fun Benefit to Take Advantage Of! ⚔️🏰

One of my favorite veteran benefits isn't a tax exemption or a discount program, it's the opportunity to make lasting memories with family.

If you're a veteran, active-duty service member, retiree, or eligible military family member, you may qualify for military discounts at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Orlando.

🎟 Military discounts are available through military verification using ID.me.

My family recently visited Medieval Times, and we had an absolute blast. Between the jousting, sword fights, horses, food, and cheering for our knight, it felt like stepping into another world for a few hours.

Sometimes the best veteran benefits are the ones that help us reconnect with family, laugh a little more, and create memories we'll talk about for years.

🎥 Off the Clock with Harry – Featuring My Friend Jim

This week's episode is a little different because I'm turning the spotlight over to my good friend Jim Efantis**, better known online as VyperMajik!

🚴‍♂️ Jim took advantage of the beautiful weather and went for a bike ride through Park of the Americas, one of Orlando's hidden gems.

At the center of the park is Unity Lake, and the location couldn't be more convenient. It's just minutes from downtown Orlando, near the 408, and right by the Orlando Executive Airport. If you listen carefully, you might even catch a few planes flying overhead while you're enjoying the scenery.

The area features beautiful trails, a great community atmosphere, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you're biking, walking, or simply looking for a peaceful place to relax, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

🎮 If you're not familiar with Jim's content, be sure to check out his YouTube channel, VyperMajik. He covers video game news, reviews, collector's editions, and content focused on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC gaming. If you're a gamer, there's a good chance you'll find something you'll enjoy.

And Jim had one final recommendation:

💬 "Buy a house from Harry, become my neighbor, and we'll ride the trails together."

Now that's a marketing strategy I can get behind 😄

Thanks for sharing one of your favorite Orlando spots, Jim. Looking forward to more local adventures and maybe a few gaming discussions along the way.
