Morning guys, today is the start of Operation Empty the Storage Room. This is going to be a fun couple of days. The kid meets with the shark bit guy and has an ultrasound tomorrow to make sure her spleen hasn't swollen. The X-Ray was negative so it is just to make sure everything is OK. Think they are overly cautious.
The Back to the Future movie predicted this was the year for the Cubs. So, you have that going. They still have to get thru the Cardinals and the Giants. I'm hoping to see a Royals Blue Jays series.
They also predicted they would play Miami. Bit off on that this year.
Looks like you are up CJ. You could base out of Florida but the position will require travel and is dependent on government funding.
Cool! I don't have to fill out an application or send in a resume do I? And I prefer American Airlines for the frequent flyer miles.
I didn't realize the "Dues" were so much. I might be able to spare a dole whip or a Mickey Ice Cream (It'll be tough though), but beer and bacon, I dunno.... That stuff is quite valuable! I mean I have to have my bacon wrapped bacon, smothered in bacon with a side of bacon and of course a beer or three to wash it down.
I guess I could spare a little bit though.
Thanks all for the warm welcome. I will try to not be to stingy with the bacon and beer.
Just tell him you sent them, he has a gremlin that steals stuff out of his mailbox. Oh, and Bacon.
It was kind of surreal when it happened. Today is my birthday and I still remember the news reports on the radio that day.
That must have been awful, sitting across the country and feeling helpless. You've really been through the ringer over the years.
Just tell him he shouldn't be using his hands in soccer anyway.
Happy Tuesday. With 45 days until WDW vacation, I've checked out. Thankfully, I only have 1-3 projects that need to be completed before then.
Yes, because at home, CJ could have fought off the hurricane with his mutant powers that control the weather.
His daughter could have threatened the storm with a shiv. That would do the trick.
Norm, happy vacation countdown. And I would have used my Petronis spell to wipe it away. Mark, that was pre-daughter so she didn't have my back. Man that was a long time ago.
We were supposed to go to a comedy club the night before it hit. She didn't want to go but I was like what the he!! are we going to be able to do about it in San Fran. We went and had a good time. We were on the first plane to land at MIA since the shutdown. The check in person felt bad for us and upgraded us to Business Class and that was sweet. My sister picked us up and it took forever to find a way through the debris to get to the house. I eventually said screw it and walked to the house while my sister and wife navigated their way to drive there.
Some things I found out:
No AC in August, in Florida sucked
Nothing to drink but warm water sucked
No water period because the pump we had at the time had no electricity sucked
Moochers and people that swarmed into the neighborhood to make a quick buck should be shot
The first Bush's FEMA Director and the state and federal response sucked
My family that lived in Broward at the time were there for us and helped a lot
The neighborhood came together to help each other out
Stripping naked to take a quick shower when it rained was kind of cool
Finding a Publix that was open (Broward county) had food and AC was nirvana
Seeing a C-5 cargo plane tree hop over your house was impressive (sprayed for Mosquitos)
The double time my wife got paid while she was stationed at the hospital for the duration was nice (she also had AC, showers and hot food)
I was filling in as coach on the weekend and it was pretty sick feeling running across the field to get to him. I had three things going through my mind:
- Please don't be the finger!!
- What will his surgeon say now?
but more importantly
- how do I tell DW that he's probably going to be back in a cast?
Glad he was OK and you didn't have a frying pan slapped upside your head.
Top O the Morning! Nothing major to report on around here. Am thinking of extending mine and DS SW Weekend trip next year from 5 to 6 nights just to plug a non park day in there. Since we are planning on 2 days at Studios, what's left of it, for SW Weekend initial thinking is Boardwalk which would be 90 DVC points for standard view 6 nights. However could do our home resort at AK Villas value room for 66 points? Not tight on points and will be rolling points either way but 24 less points does make ya think. Any thoughts appreciated.
As one of the newer guys around here, learned recently a couple of new tough things you have had to deal with. Cheers to you and DD on getting through some tough times.
There is something to be said about staying at the BW for SW weekends but 24 points is still 24 points. Knowing me, I would splurge and stay at the BW.
Thanks. My mother always said, "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger." By my nature I am a bit stoic and as a bonus, I have stories to tell.
