DIS Dads DDC XVII - Leap year edition

[BigTikiDaddy]

Oh yeah...Morning guys..

Back from the Gift Auction, so what did we win

-$20 GC to Cheeburger Cheeburger with T shirt

- 4 tickets to Blue Claws Baseball Game

- 2 tickets to Red Bulls soccer game

- $75 GC for Sports Camp + $75 GC towards Bday party at Sports Camp

- Huge assorted pack of Rubermaid food containers

They did have 4 WDW PH's but no luck this time

Not too bad, we spent $100 between the 2 of us

Next one we are going too is Friday, last year the had a chartered fishing trip for 6, maybe they will have it again this year (possible Dis Dad fishing trip )

Still, all and all, not a bad haul. Something is better then nothing, my usual take at anything like this.

"Experts" think Miami is the front runner for Peyton. I am not getting excited yet because our front office will probably blow it.

Espn is now reporting Denver an Arizona to be 1 and 1a, with Miami a long shot...

Ron - you ever see "Throw Momma From The Train"

A flim classic.

I don't know on this one. Sure, if Manning is 100%, he makes the Dolphins immediate contenders and he's got 2 or 3 years to take a win it. If Dolphins sign Flynn, who beat out Brohm (UL) for back-up with that performance, Dolphins can build around him (cheaper) for the next decade +. Maybe they can call Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett and really make a bad decision.

I'm more perturbed that she seems to be cycling through all the guys in her class more then anything

Maybe they'll get it out of their system now as opposed to later.

Good haul.

My sister was at the gift auction and my worst fear became reality They are indeed going the same week we are and will be on the same train both ways

Maybe you can auction your loot for some alcohol.

Man, I knew I was forgetting something

I'm not buying it.

I think that Peyton is one of the best QBs to play the game but Tebow has tremendous potential and is just starting his career. Not to mention how far they made it this year.:

Tebow needs coaching and weapons around him to really see his potential. His team wins games (against not the best schedule appointments). It is hard to pass up Manning, but interesting to see the both of them play on the field at the same time.

I'm in, go Hoosiers

Where are they going? NIT.

Good luck guys!

I don't follow college basketball as closely as I should, but I'll give it a chance. Since there are four KY teams in the tournament, will it be a KY final four? No chance at all, but still it is quite a success for this state. I wonder who I will have winning the championship? Hmmm......

From what I heard, Miami's plan was 1. Sign Manning (Still not counting that out) 2. Move up for RG3 (that's out) or 3. Get Flynn. Flynn is totally unproven and will cost bucks but his coach is now the Dolphin head man. We don't need Jones, our front office is even worse. Look at the high draft picks that are no longer with the team. That includes two second round QBs.

Come on, join in. It is all just a dartboard game anyway. My horse will be UK this year.

Looks like UK just lost. I think that is a good thing as they have been un-focused and playing this turn it off/on during SEC tournament. Hopefully, this is the wake-up call.

As for RG3, didn't Redskins trade #1 each of next three years (&2nd this year) to move up to Rams at #2? Or, was that just a trade offer I read?

Daniel Snyder gave away the farm for the #2 pick. I really thought Cleveland was going to pull this off.

It's been blistering COLD, very Canadian like temperatures here the last few days, and today it is a beautiful warm spring day here in Toronto.

Temperatures swung 30 degrees of over the last 2 days.

It was as low as -15 Celsius (5 Fahrenheit) to as high as 15 Celsius (60 degrees Fahrenheit).

Maybe not the whole farm, but close. Redskins under cap and plan for a lot of free agent spending.

It wasn't 3 #1s. It was to trade #1 picks this year, Rams get 2nd round pick this year, #1 from Redskins in 13 and #1 pick in '14. I think RG3 will probably be a good QB, but not as good as Newton. Cam was much bigger and did it against SEC competition.

Yeah, I really hate this Jekyll/Hyde weather. Personally, I am done with the cold.

Good Afternoon!!

just checking in. Modified our Ohana reservation on our first MK day. Pushed it up to 7:30 from 8:00am, just to make sure we hit the park opening at 9am. DW is grumbling, but I think she'll get over it.

so far, my big plans for this weekend have not been realized, as DW has decided that this is HER weekend to stay in bed. So much for my plans.

 

[cj9200]

Sun is going down, dinner is ready to be put into the oven (Heirloom tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, Baked Ziti and garlic bread) and waiting for selection Sunday. Second best time in sports next to college football. Good luck to any fans out there seeing if their teams make it to the big dance and where they are seeded. Expecting Florida to be a 5 or 6 seed.

It's a lot easier to give that up now that there is a rookie salary cap in place.

Norm, did your iPad arrive yet?

Checking in guys...

Had a great day with the family today.

Weather was beautiful. Bike ride to the park. A little cleaning up in the back yard. Got our patio furniture out.

Grilled up some thick center cut pork chops...some roasted sweet potatoes, veggies. And just finished up some homemade strawberry shortcake!

Had a little campfire in the fire pit...played a little catch with the wife.

Great day!

Oh and...

20 Days!!

She'll get over it. We've modified our plans as well.

We're going to try Chefs de France at Epcot instead of Via Napoli. I like to try the new restaurants and have never had escargot.

I'm on the way for dinner. Got an extra room?

It's a lot easier to give that up now that there is a rookie salary cap in place.

Yes. But, if RG3 is the real deal, then the Rams could end up picking 25th or better in the first round. Is it still that good a deal?

Norm, did your iPad arrive yet?

I think it is Tuesday or Wednesday.

Well that sucks!

I only say "sucks" 'cause it sounds like you had a great day!

Hopefully it's all down hill from there...

actually nemesis, that sounds like an awesome day... and I am quite jealous.

Hitting Via Napoli for the first time this trip. Our second EPCOT dinner (If there is one) will probably be counter service because DW and DD have a big lunch planned that day.

I'm going to have a window of time where it's just me and DS (about 16 months old at the time) for a couple of hours at EPCOT (or at MK, but for less time, if we escort the women to their lunch date at GF). Still not sure what the two of us will do. I think we might just get a snack, find a bench, and I'll start teaching him the fine art of people-watching!

Would love to try Chefs de France one trip. It was almost the choice this time around... meaning it should be the next trip!!

Escargot. Had it once on our first disney cruise on the Wonder. I enjoyed it.
