DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

Back on my second midnight shift.
Which totally sucks since I hate doing one.
Second week of this and hopefully that'll be it for double midnights for a while.


In other news. My laptop, which I use pretty much exclusively for photography, is giving up the ghost.
It takes anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour to boot up.
The latter means several crashes, windows recovery, etc.

So it's off to Dell to order a new one.
We get a small (very small) discount through my work. Clicked the link. Found the one I want... but a better one is on sale ($500 off) for the same price. Cool! And... there's an online coupon for an additional $150 off. Cooler! But I can't apply the coupon. Crap. Click the "chat now" link and talk with someone from Dell. Takes forever. Eventually he gives me a quote... which is higher than originally seen. He immediately types to ignore that. Several minutes later, he quotes me the price without the company discount or the coupon discount. I tell him what the subtotal, total and total with tax should be. Several more minutes go by.
After two hours... TWO HOURS!! of being online, he finally gives me a price that's.... $50 less than the one I gave him. Um... yes I'll take it!

Just too bad it had to be such a process.

Not sure how I missed out on joining the DisDads but we just got home from an offsite trip for my niece's dance competition that wa held at the Contemporay. We sadly didn't get to do the parks this time but we did do a lot of resort hopping that we normally wouldn't do on a strictly Disney trip.

Gentlemen (Ahem),

Please accept this message as my application to join your illustrious ranks. I am a 36-year-old father of two from RI. My dear wife has a grand enough sense of humor to have tolerated me for the past twelve years, and is kind enough to pretend not to notice when I get dust in my eyes watching the kids at Disney. Our children include a 4-year-old son, and a 21-month-old feral daughter who don't yet know they'll be seeing Disney and Beach Club again the 15th-22nd of November.

I have studied the requirements and find I qualify for most but, sadly, not all. I will submit to you, however, that some of the earliest photos of me were taken at Disney in 1981, and show me with my own father, a member of the original WDWdads. I'm also a small business owner who, through rough calculations, has wasted tens of thousdands of dollars worth of man hours planning trips, researching ride heights, making ADR's, and compiling the most complete Disney spreadsheets an OCD Dad can manage.[/

Happy Thursday morning. Another dominating doubles tennis performance last night to go along with Monday night. Even better news is that swim season is over and no more chauffeuring for a couple weeks.

I must admit I had no idea there was so much technique and science behind a tennis racquet.

Click to expand...

Not to mention racquet weight, balance, length size, head size, grip size, and power level. Then, the string materials are natural gut, monofilament, multifilament, poly, Kevlar, co-poly, & aluminum and tensions amounts. And, the strings are shaped or designed for extra power, control, spin, or touch. There are really billions of combinations of racquets and strings. The pros are still terrific athletes who use the science and sponsorship for their advantage.

Congrats on the new computer and two hours of online haggling. i use the dell PC as well, but if I had the money, I'd change everything over to iPhone, iPad,and MacBook.

As for your astute calculation, you're WRONG. :lmao: The difference is actually 7. There is 15, 15L, 16, 16L, 17, 17L, & 18.
 
‘Morning all…
Stay cool gents. The heat has officially been labeled as dangerous here so I’m pretty sure it’s worse for some of y’all. There was a new temperature record set here yesterday. Not for the high, but rather for the low. Even with the sun below the horizon the air couldn’t see clear to cool itself down below 80. Which means the mercury will hit expected highs for today hours earlier than normal- likely by mid-morning - and stay there.

Nasty!

Not trying to take credit for her success. Sadly, I watched these other kids at the tournament last weekend and can tell that some of them were playing with racquets too old, too heavy, or too small for their swing style. I let dd try several of my racquets and string set-ups, and then found her the right racquet & string & string tension for her racquet. Anyone know the difference between a 15 vs 18 guage tennis string? I do and have that advantage right now. It will decrease once she gets older and playing on same age groups in HS teams, as the coaches will help pick the equipment for the other players.

Well, except for that whole going out and regularly playing tennis bit of it…

but still…
 
Morning Guys. Go away for a couple of days and things really move along in here. Welcome to the new guys, hello to the old.

Played another soccer game last night with just 11 guys, luckily in was only in the 80s last night but 2 games in 4 days with no subs and lots of humidity has made for one sore body on this old boy's part.

Have a good one all; stay cool!

I forgot about the tea. Sweet tea in the south is certainly something special. Funny story. My mom couldn't cook and the only tea I ever had growing up with the Lipton instant tea crap, which I rarely drank because it was so bad. Fast forward and when i got married, DW asked if i wanted tea. I thought that meant that same crap i had as a kid. She brought her own tea brewing machine from home and made a pitcher of sweet tea. It is amazing, and we still use that same machine. Them northern folks just don't know what they are missing.

As for the love of spread sheets, we can add a man law, but i think it's just universally accepted. :lmao:

Have to say... I wasn't quite fully prepared for it. The house was eerily quiet. Didn't quite know what to do when I got home from work. DD and I always do something after work just to reconnect and have some fun. Had to come home and stare at my wife for a week :hyper2:

Positive thoughts that hurricane season is minimal impact for all that live in affected areas. UK trip / pup crawl sounds like a blast - cheers!
 
Tournament draw out and dd got a 6 seed (8). I'm guessing it was more random that anything else. She'll play at 9:30 AM Sat and if she wins, 4:00 PM. I don't like that long of a wait for her as she will burn too much energy outside as well as hanging in the heat. I'll have to figure out how to hose her down and go see a movie to kill some time.

I have a big sweet tooth as well, but prefer to eat food of the drinks. I can usually only handle one glass as well. However, give me a plate of chocolate chip cookies, and prepare for an re-enactment scene from the cookie monster.
 
So all this talk of sweet tea got me thinking. How does the sweet tea at WDW compare to good southern sweet tea? I remember having the Gold Peak tea from the beverage station at the resort and ordered it from a couple table service places (probably the same Gold Peak stuff I guess). I also enjoy an iced tea in the summer but always brew my own fresh, never the powered crud. I probably go a little easier on the sugar than you would in the south, though.

Ah yes, I can do a decent cookie monster impression myself! I found a recipe for Minnie's Bake Shop cookies once. Three kinds of chocolate chips and you measure them out with a full size ice cream scoop. Now they were sinful! But so good...
