DIS Dads DDC XIX - Squirrel!

[afwdwfan]

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.

If they want you to have an iPhone, they need to pay for the iPhone. I'd be sad to lose my smart phone though, now that I'm used to having one.

Brownies sound like the perfect cure for your problems.

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.

I guess we know your full name now! Thanks for sharing this!

Morning guys.

63 days until WDW here.

Mixed bit of a morning. DW finally heard from her interview last Thursday, she got the job and in a surprise, it's coming with more money, though they'll make her take unpaid leave days for our already planned WDW trip.

On the other hand, I've got parents coming in to meet with me tomorrow, they're upset that little "Jimmy" only has a 95 for his 4th quarter grade in precalculus. Of course, I'm not sure if they realize as they are harassing me about this that I still have to grade his exam that he is taking right now.

Sweet cars back there. My Dad used me to help keep the cars in operation, but never got into a rebuild so that type of work is beyond my knowledge base at this point. DS is working to save up money to buy his own car this summer, one that he's planning on having to work on. So we'll get to do that together.

Don't you just love parents. I'm sure that exam will be a pleasure to mark.

My DW is a teacher as well. I just got off the phone with her as she was just asked to be a chaperone for a 4 day grade 8 trip that leaves tomorrow. Couple of the other teachers that were going had to back away because of a medical emergency in the family. They are married so it took both of them out.

Looks like ds and I will be on our own this weekend, well except that my parents will be coming up.

Sweet rides.

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

Would be glad so send you some, we don't need anymore.

Hopefully the trip is to someplace nice and the 8th graders aren't too terrible!

You and DS get to "bach" it this weekend, that can be a fun thing too.

Your parents are coming over this weekend??? So in other words, she wasn't asked to go, she volunteered.

Quebec City is where they are headed, great old city to visit.

LOL, I guess that could be right considering I was planning on taking my dad out fishing while she entertained my mom.

Watching the news. Correction, we had 9" of rain yesterday (MIA had 9.73"). Peak was 5" during one hour. A lot of street flooding and more to come (2-4"). Under a flood watch until tonight. Luckily my neighborhood does not flood and we are good.

Wow, that's like tropical storm/hurricane flooding, glad everything's ok for you.

As we were watching the start of the game last night and they said it was 71 and cloudy/rainy in Miami, my comment was "that would suck if you were there on vacation, very un-Miami like"

 

[cj9200]

This would be cool to do. Unfortunately, I won't be there,

Someday I will be doing the Richard Petty Driving Experience. Come on lottery numbers.

Luckily they have a roof over the ballpark or else the game would not have been played last night.

We do live in a reclaimed swamp after all. Rainy season is here.

Gonna be a scorcher Sunday...

My mom didn't renew her tickets this year. I have gone every year since 1990 and sat in the Paddock at the finish line. It is at least shaded there, thankfully. Not sure if I want to try to find some tickets and go or not. I hate to end my streak of races, but it's going to be peanut buttery hot.

Storm clouds... now that would really make this a beautiful day.

Yep... same here. We must have been crossing paths. I love my all wheel drive! There were a few spots where I'm sure I looked like this to other drivers:
