8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 13

[eeyorelvr10]

G'mornin' s

Well, Thurs. is the first day that I could walk without hip pain after the tri, so what am I doing today???? Mountain climbing.

You are M - funny but


We're climbing a friendly neighborhood mountain - about 3,000 feet over a 1.5mile trail. Our friends can't look for a house until tomorrow, so we are taking them to do something Alaskan.

What a fun introduction! What a good friend you are!


Did anyone else notice that there is a Nikon in that bag?



I did - I did! Those of 'us' with a discerning eye usually do. (Now what does discerning mean again? )




Thank You - I'm roller coasting right now between and "well, it had to happen' mentality.



You are a veteran. You signed up. You showed up.
Thank you!

Thank You for making me feel great! I get a small bit of pleasure when someone thanks me and I like the warm, fuzzy feeling it evokes! I find myself holding my head up a little higher!

Oops - getting a message too short to post - what is up with that?

OK - with this - I must attempt a nap - a 3 hr sleep will not cut it - I will end up looking like but w/o the smile!

Talk about your Good and Bad reports, check out this post from Tom & Lynn (DisneySpirit) a fellow August 2008 Repo Cruiser.

So sorry to hear of your troubles Tom, but was happy to hear the passport was found and you were able to rebook for later. Looks like you will be sailing with some others from this thread as well in July.

Wow that was an unbelievable story. If that was me, I would have been in tears! I'm so glad it all worked out for them!

No he didn't and that is what I too am holding on to.

What he did say was that the storylines had all been tied up and all the characters had been taken to their end for these stories.

If they do any more it could be based on CJS and other new characters because I don't think that they other actors want to continue. (IMHO only.)

We finally went to see it last night. We didn't go to Chunkys (cineama pub) because you have to wait in line for 2 hours since they only sell the tickets 30 mins. before the show. We went to the regular theater at the mall & bought the tickets before we shopped for a while. When we went back we were the first in line for that showing.

Anyway, I didn't think any of the stories were tied up at all. I left wondering what would happen next. Two main characters are still after something in the end. What I don't know, because I can never figure out who is after what & why. Even after seeing the ending after the credits, I was left speculating. I mean how long can that go on???

Hi Everyone!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! We got home from Atlantic City a little bit ago. Andy Angelina is going to have a wonderful time at the concert tonight. The Borgata Event Center only hold 3,700 people and there wasn't a bad seat in the house! Hope she enjoys! Steely Dan put on a great show last night. We made our "donation" to Atlantic City but only for about $150 and that included a nice dinner and a few rounds of drinks so you can't beat that.

BTW Roger I really enjoyed the wontons (that really made me laugh).

It seems like so long since we've had a three-day weekend and I feel so relaxed I am like mush!

Glad you had fun MR!

In anticipation of our upcoming trip to CC and rainy FL weather, I purchased a waterproof bag for my camera. I have always loved taking underwater photos and surely did not want to miss out on this on our upcoming vacation. Yesterday was a nice day so off to the pool to try it out.

DD6 and me

Found that it was difficult aiming since I did not take my prescription mask with me so I could not see the view finder and what I was shooting at. Learned alot about settings though and can not wait until CC for some fishy pictures.

Nice pics Roger. That water looks so inviting!

Good Morning again.............. Was able to fall back asleep around 5am and woke up about 30 minutes ago. A Memorial Day Parade will be going past our house between 10:30 and 11:00 this morning. We live on the main road, our township and the town next to us have a combined parade every year. I marched in this same parade 40 years ago when I was in the Boy Scouts. The end of the parade route is at the Red Bank Battlefield along the Delaware River where a wreath is tossed into the river remembering those who gave their lives serving our country. http://www.nj.searchroots.com/Gloucesterco/redbank.html

I always wanted to live on a parade route. How fun is that? It would be so nice to invite people over, have a cookout, & then watch the parade right from your own yard.

Did everyone go outside to watch Andy's parade? Pretty quite here at the hospital this morning, I think everyone is sleeping in.

I slept in! I am soooo lazy!!!

ok all - sure could use some ixiedust:. Shortly before leaving on my last minute getaway, something happened that could adversely affect my family. Unfortunately, life happens and this was bound to happen sooner or later but wish things could have happened in a nicer way.

Sorry to be cryptic but those that know me, I am notorious for getting up late. However, today and last night I fell asleep at 2 am and got up at 5 am PST. This is not me and I must get some sleep but am compulsive obsessive about things.

Here's hoping that things get resolved and our family cruise in July continues to be a family cruise!

Yet please note - I WILL MAKE IT TO THE MED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! (and if God permits - I am going to turn over my faith to him and let him take things from here)

Thanks all for listening - everyone is asleep here and/or does not understand how mom's get all emotional. Thanks for your well wishes.

P.S. - Capt Crash - I wave as I passed your area - I see you may have been awake - we took a last minute trip to Solvang. Hoping to get to use my camera in the next couple hours. Need some time to straighten my thoughts.

Sending & hoping everything works out!

Time to get ready to go pick up our ST. Will probably stop for a bite to eat on the way home, will check in later to see who snagged the next

 

[allshookup]

Happy Memorial Day to all!
My thoughts go out to anyone that has served or is serving our country
& all their loved ones! ​

Morning all!

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes!! It was a good birthday.

I was at a dog show all day. I took the points with Taiko. (That's a good thing, only one dog of each sex is swarded championship points.) And Jakob placed 4th in Open Junior - it's his first placement since moving up from the Novice class. And he was told by a lot of kids that the first year in Open is really hard - you don't win. So, to have a 4th on only his third time in the Open ring made him feel about 10 feet tall.

Congratulations on the points

I think that is every travelers worst nightmare. I am so sorry they missed their vacation, but it seems they were blessed with angels along the way.

Good morning folks....

I'd like to share my little tiny story of equipment failure - and in the same motion I'd like to share a HANDFUL of photos from our last DCL voyage - the 11 niter from Sept '06. I was posting to the old cruise meet thread and - here is is...

Tom, those were so great pics. I love the Mickey fish extender!!! Who made it? I want one

is there anyone besides me, and our dear pal andrew..wishing we were
on the big red dot..no matter what's underneath her?

Me too!!

Roger that is a great idea practicing! My camera can go under 5 feet with no housing. I will have to bring it next time we swim.

MR, glad you enjoyed your concert and stay in Atlantic City.

This is going to be a must on excursions next year and may also help keeping the humidity out when we are down south.

The humidity killed my digital camea the night before we sailed through TPC. I ended up having to buy disposables on deck.

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

are from the military.

Happy Birthday Devon

Don't you know, I wake up in the middle of the night, sign on to say Good Morning, then the boards go down for servicing..................

Hazel saw the livingroom light on, so she came out a few minutes ago to let me know that she spoke with Angelina around 11:30 last night. Angelina said she had a "GREAT" time at the concert. She also said she was so close to the stage that she nearly started crying when Gwen Stefani came out, looked down and said, "You're so close, I can see your faces."

I'm sure I will get to hear more about the concert when we pick Angelina up later today.

I am glad she enjoyed the concert

Well...


... about 2 hours ago I noticed it was unusually quiet at our home. Usually when I eneter the kitchen our dog shows up at my elbow in a couple of heart beats. Well... I took a peak out front in the entry area and saw the front gate was ajar... then I checked the dog run and saw he was not there. SO I advised my spouse of dogs absence and I left to go look for him after dressing to a decent level.

About 35-40 minutes of circling the neighborhood slowly I was gonna turn in and call it quits when I saw a car stopped in fron of our home with its' lights on. It had just pulled up and I rolled my window down to chat - and a nice lady informed me that she had our dog. It was just about midnite and so I followed her car back to her place where she expalined that their garage door had been left open by accident that evening - and earlier her son heard the sound of a dog whimpering inside their garage. They found Sugar there after he had wandered in. And she had called us but I left my cell in the house and no one was awake to answer the house line when she rang that one. So as a last resort she drove over. I had forgotten to take my phone - and being so late I did not think anyone would have been awake to deal with Sugar.

So he's home now and in great spirits. He evidently sneaked out right past Alicia as she came IN. I still don't know HOW ON EARTH a 120 pound Samoyed can sneak out the front door and gate past my under 100 pound spouse as she came IN the door. But he did it!

Anyways... below is a photo from a few weeks ago of SUGAR in the bath tub. If you peer carefully you can see the water is not exactly clear....

I am glad that Sugar was found.

Hi everyone! Finally saw POTC: AWE this morning and although it would have been more fun with Todd in costume stalking around the lobby, we had a great time nonetheless . . .

The humidity killed my digital camea the night before we sailed through TPC. I ended up having to buy disposables on deck.

I've had our digital fog up quite a few times in Fl and at CC (taking pics off the boat.)

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

....interesting stuff about cameras...like cpt. crash, i have killed a
many of camera stuff...we have the old cannon, ae-1. sea water
has been rough..and a rocking boat..[one x i went one way, my
camera went the other]. any one here remember the ballon
game called- ker~boom?...we got the boys their own digital
cameras & we own one each...so we're probably going with the
disposables. still those pics..esp of the one with handles...are so

tempting....
