DIS Dads DDC XIX - Squirrel!

[twokids0204]

Well, DW tripped and crashed into the monorail in th Disney room. The monorail is ok, but she cut up her leg pretty bad. I asked her if I could take a picture and post it here, but she said no. She did laugh about it later, but she is still hurting a bit.

Ouch... Hope she`s ok...

Sweet Ride!!

I finally got to work on one of the Mustangs today, I started with my 1st car a 72 Mustang Mach 1 351 CJ with full ram air in show condition, all I needed to replace was a starter cellonoid, started right up, but before I can take it out on the Blue Highway I have to give it a cleaning and a waxing, this way when I take it to the road, Detroit Muscle gets the respect it deserves

I did realize something tonite, I can NEVER sell these cars ever, my son came out in his PJ's all wide eyed that the car was out, he had to have a ride, so I told him to get in and backed it to the end of the 8 car driveway and I drove him into the garage:good vibes, he was so excited when he got inside and told my wife as soon as he saw her with that I realized it's time to start showing him the ropesg, I think I'll start him off handing me tools and helping clean the cars, at least he will know his tools and how to use them

Since I built these cars ground up plenty of my sweat & blood has been spilled working on them so basically they are a part of me, therefore they have to go to my son one day when I'm gone I will still be there in the cars

Out of the 4 cars, 2 are in show condition, 1 is 85% complete and 1 at my Dad's house is 40% done (my dad does work on it on his own sometimes when I go to his house he brings me to the garage to show me what he did, says it keeps him young)

I invited my dad over next week to help me work on one of the cars, although I could do it myself, I told him I wasn't sure of some stuff, since he is the one who taught me, it makes him feel good to be needed and that he might still be able to teach me something

I guess what I'm getting to is if your child shows a interest in what you are doing. don't turn them away, when you are long gone it could be something your child always remembers you by

I've got a lot of respect for someone who can do that. I've tried to do some work to bring the truck that I've had since I got my license back to it's glory days. I just don't have the experience and patience to do it. I kind of got it halfway back, said screw it and drove it with a primered hood for about 3 years, and now it is in a shop for a professional to finish what I started.

Morning Duck,

Had a good night last night. Marlins tried to give the game away but ended up holding on for the win. And the heat destroyed the Pacers.

Rain is really bad though. Some areas got 5" yesterday for a new record. Another 3-4 possible today. Luckily, we are high and dry at the house.

Just rub it in... the Heat win and you're getting rain.

 

[AirGoofy]

Ouch... Hope she`s ok...

Thanks. She is still sore, but feeling better.

sorry you had a bad experience. We literally stumbled into that place back in 2010. Tried the grille but the wait was excessive... walked to the fish just to see and they said they could sit us at the counter within 10 minutes. I had doubts about the counter seating but getting to watch my steak cooked in front of me was cool. It was cooked to near perfection. DW really enjoyed her pasta and scallops. Now that counter area is their special chef's table.

I am having deja vu... I feel like I read a similar post about this somewhere else on the DIS... might have been in a thread I shouldn't admit that I stumbled into though.

Yes, the scallops and mussels were good. The main course was not though. We were also seated in the back next to a large group of drunk guys who kept using the back exit. That may have added to the unpleasantness. She posted the monorail fall on the DisMoms.

doooooooooooon!!!!

yes, i seen the new picture.

I was hoping they would do a side by side with the two of you.

Morning Guys!

Listening to Star Tours Queue Area music, surfin the disdads. Cant get much better, unless I had a dole whip for breakfast.

Will try to keep up today, but as usual, I have more stuff to do than time.

Count EM loud and proud. Have a great trip.

Heat had another great game. With Granger out, they can probably cruise. Boston will be a different matchup.

Morning, dads.

Last night was rough - spent most of the time driving back from soccer practice reading the riot act at the kids - DS has a habit of cutting across the baseball diamonds while a game is being played, they both took off for the parking lot (leaving me to juggle their water, soccer balls, etc - which they had "promised" that they would carry), DS talked back to the coach and generally whined throughout practice, etc. Just lots of little things, and they all happened to hit at the same time.

Hopefully, today goes better - DD has a playdate after preschool, and with DS in school, I have most of the day completely to myself.

They all talk back from time to time, even my own kid. Next time, just scream at them like the Hulk.

To steal from Tim - that's nice.

I still remember sanding the quarter panels of a '67 Volkswagen Squareback with my dad when I was 10 years old. So many things my dad taught me that I'll never forget. Nothing like sharing those bonding moments over a car, though.

Keep up the good work, Ron!

5"?!? You might be able to go diving right outside your door soon! Glad to hear you are dry and cool.

Are they both yours?

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Frustrating day. Had to leave the hollers for the big city and got a few things done, but high on my list was treating myself to some Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout now that the family is away. Forgot it was election day in KY. No alcohol sales until after 6 PM.

That's weird. In Wisconsin, they encourage you to be drunk when you vote.

the finale count on the dole whips this trip:

tammy 2

zerfs 3

briana 10

we spent a total of 8 nights , 15 dole whips @ $3.45 each.

Money well spent, as far as I'm concerned.

OK... so I'm not much of a drinker. Have you heard of an Arnold Palmer? It's basically half and half of iced tea and lemonade. Well... we found this Long Island Iced Tea mix at our local ABC store made by Barton and I mixed it with a lemonade drink tonight. Wow... what a combination!

: sounds like a good drink to me!

If no one objects, I'm going to try to remember my bottle of Balveine Doublewood 12 yr Single Malt Scotch to the party. It seems like a good "After Boma" drink.

Go Carl - its your birthday.....well you know what I mean.

Great post and reminder! My DS works the bees with me and seems to enjoy it for now.

[baseballmickey]

good morning!!

not enough sleep last night. DD woke me up before 6am and wouldn't leave me alone. She stays late at preschool today, so that's good, but the sun is out and instead of napping, I have to take advantage and mow the lawn.

DS is currently rummaging through all our DVDs and old VHS tapes. I've gotten sucked into looking at old vacation videos on the computer.

Hey guys. Is it Friday yet???

Beverly of a morning so far. Lost my departmental procurement card somewhere and while it probably is planted with the crops in the field I can't be sure so had to cancel it. While doing that I found out the dean is cutting our cell phone reimbursement $55/month. DW wasn't impressed when I told her that. I may look at dropping the I-phone even though that is what the department really wants us to use. Looks like I will bake some brownies at lunch. Warm brownies and cold milk should improve my disposition.

warm brownies and cold milk always work for me!! I heartily approve of that plan!!!

since I am going through some of the videos from previous trips to Disney... I thought I'd share this one of the street performers having a little fun with me at DHS a couple of years ago.
