First time I have tried posting a link so forgive me if it fails. This is what I have been doing that keeps me from reading all the posts - I read what I can, but it goes too fast! I happened to end up in the Atlanta paper this week. For some reason he took it at an angle. I am warming up so I look kind of goofy, but hey, thats a good thing on this board, right?!

Welp, I've been here infrequently for the past month or so, with Mary really being the one more visibly involved of the two of us, and I'm about to show you why.

I work for these guys: Zengeler Cleaners(click) as engineer, basically in charge of all maintainance. It's a big operation, and I'll show you how much of one.

Very interesting Mark, looks like you have put alot of time and effort into that project. It must be nice to be able to see it in a finished stage.

I will be posting from the road on the 20th and 21st!. Love that free internet access!

 

[cherylp3]

Just a note that the internet is via network cable. (not wifi) Although I've read that you can get wifi from big river grille if you are close enough.

Pirate Update!!! Aaaarggghhh!!!

Less than 24 hours since the last Pirate again!

Have we ever had it turn around in less than 12 hours?

 

[OKWMEMBER]

I don't think so, although I'm sure it's been close.

 

[disrailfan]

So I guess the question is how many TV's do they have in this Bar area on the ship? Sounds like some of us want to watch the NASCAR Race. And there appears to be a few COLTS fans on this trip that want to watch the Colts -vs- JAGS game (though I doubt it will be carried on any local affiliate).

Do they have Sunday Ticket or something so they can get all of these games, because it would be my guess that DW and I will head there after the Ship Drill?

At any rate go Colts, maybe that game will turn out better than the beating we took from the Bears and I am sure we will get this weekend from the Vikings.

Well we are a third of the way there now!

I think I did it on 9/5. 2100 @ 9:10 AM then 2200 @8:55 PM.

Many, at loose count there were 5 or 6 flatscreens, plus the big projected one. They do have some kind of comprehensive feed - they've put all kind of coverage up in there.

On the inroom system they have most of the abc/espn feeds. As they're owned by Disney after all.

Cool! DW and I are Colts Season Ticket Owners, we are letting my Daughter use those game tickets while we are away.

We are really ready for this trip, we got our documents / luggage tags in the mail yesterday so we are excited that it is getting close. We are also staying three days after the cruise for golf at LBV Golf Course and of course the Wine and Food Festival along with the LAST WEEKEND OF PLEASUER ISLAND as it is today.

 

[tikimack]

It looks like you are warming up for the one-legged race!

Practicing to use a peg leg on pirate night!

Well, there you go, then. And remember, no matter where you go, there you are!

I'm having a 'hate my job' day. Someone made a crack at a meeting this morning that they might have to cancel my vacation because we have a big conversion 9/20-21. I explained how that NOT FUNNY that comment was and that it's never a good idea to perturb a pirate

I feel your pain. The same comment was made here with my boss leaving and the buy out. I just laughed and said" it would take a lot of comma's and zero's for that to happen"

Just think how good that first frozen drink is going to taste after we all get Palo reservations.

Hopefully they got the point. Don't mess with a planned mutiny!
