DDC XXVII: Penguins in Paradise!

[baseballmickey]

Morning Dads...

Been busy round here... haven't had much time to catch up, let alone post.

Thursday was our 14th anniversary. Yaay us!

I also picked up some tickets for DD's 11'th Birthday to go see Wizard Of Oz.

Happy 14th Anniversary! How many American years is that?

Didn't see the game. DD scored a goal in a 2-2 game. She put on an awesome display of ball skills - juked 2 defenders, and hard shot on the goal. She had anther shot, but hit the pole. We had lots more shots, but they had some great keeper play. The only thing holding her back in soccer is her speed, which is something I don't know how to help her with.

some combination of wearing bacon and DisDad marathon training?? could be a win-win.

Afternoon gentlemen.

My back is doing much better. I have been off Vicodin since Wednesday. The rest of the week I've just been using Advil.

I'm looking at new cars to replace the rusty trusty Explorer. A new mid range priced Explorer would be over $38K.


On a good note, Sun Country just published October airfares.

Glad to hear your back is feeling better.

Hey was great time. Will be looking to do it again!! Thanks for the motivation you really helped get me through my first race ,i am glad i decided to try and do it. All i can say for the guys that are not on the running band wagon yet, there is still time to hop on.

Great Job!

Thank you everyone that have reached out with you prayer and thoughts.
We start the process today of placing DW Grandma to rest.

Sorry for your family's loss.

Going over Social Studies with my son tonight, I asked him who Sacaqawea explored with his answer was George Jefferson, talk about movin on up Although that would have been quite interesting

DS's team had a rough day at the provincial championships, dropping both games to finish up with the bronze medal. Pretty proud of DS, he was player of the game in their first game today and ended up being named to the tournament all-star team.

Congrats to him on the all star team and third place. He knows what to play for next year.

Thanks. I trust that whereever you were, you were doing your part as well!

I did. I was sitting on the couch, preventing it from flying up in the air.

Home again, good little weekend away, still one more day off to go see the doc for a follow-up.

I'm sure they are way more cool now, but I remember using the one electic pallet jack and forklift. But, it was still more fun to have the plain old pallet jack races in the store room. That wasn't in the training manual.

Funny, that was what the training was trying to prevent, go figure. Besides, stores don't have the riding versions, warehouses aren't big enough

I figured that. We would sit on the electric one, backwards, and have to lower the handle pass the safety point and ride it. But, it wasn't very fast. We wild stack all the pallets with the fork lift out of the way, and have an oval race in the stock room. We rode the pallet jacks like scooters.

Morning guys. Looks like we got about 7" of snow here on the west side of Indy. It will be in the 50's for Easter

Hope everyone has a great Monday. It's a short work week here

Stop with that "s" word, would you? Supposed to be a nice week here, temps around the seasonal norms, which would be nice. Except Wednesday, they talk of a bit of rain/snow mix.

Good Morning David. No snow for me thanks, I've had enough.

Morning everyone

Morning Brent. Can you guys do us a favor and take back your cool weather pattern? Dealing with high 30's/low 40's due to the jet stream.

Hey Matt.

Good morning Dads. DS birthday today (I now have a teenager in our house and feel old) and he did not want to go to school today. He has MCAS testing today which we affectionately call it the Mass. Child Abuse System. Testing is basically preparing to take the test in high school and DS felt he should not have to take it on his birthday.

He got a new pitcher/infield glove, a few checks and models for his birthday. Went to texas Roadhouse for some bacon wrapped filet to celebrate with the grandparents.

Have a good day all!

Hey guys, this may be off topic, but just a quick heads up.

If you, or anyone you know, is driving down to Disney for a Spring Break.

The Florida Highway Patrol is currently running a "Zero Tolerance" operation on I 95, I 75, I 4 and the Turnpike.

Seriously, they are not playing. They "might" give you ten over....they "might" not.

On the way to work this morning I was passed by Three Minivans (yes, Barry, I said minivans). One from Connecticut, one from New Jersey and one from Maryland. All of them moving over 80 mph (I admit I was shocked and had to double check my speed to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing)

The reason I was "passed" by them is that they were headed into what is locally known as a "Florida Highway Patrol Nesting Area". I had sense to slow down and not rile them up---no need to kick the fireant bed.

Sure enough, all three of them were pulled over about two miles up the road.

I tried to warn them, but if an unmarked Charger with blacked out windows and multiple LEDs can't slow you down---a trooper will happily oblige "up the road".

Fair warning.

Thursday was our 14th anniversary. Yaay us!

Happy anniversary!

Good morning. Decided to come in out of the rain and cold to post. Absent for far too long and missing the banter. Now, I'll go eat some bacon. Hope that everyone has a great Sunday.

Welcome back Greg!

Happy 14th Anniversary! How many American years is that?

Hey guys, this may be off topic, but just a quick heads up.

Um, Fed, remember where you're posting this...

I wish I was going to be down that way this week, but instead I'll be hanging around here and enjoying the snow. Thanks for the warning anyway.
