DIS Dads DDC XX - The Quest for More Bacon...

[twokids0204]

Hey guys.. hope you had a good weekend. Our 2 day trip on the Magic is over... our first taste of Disney cruising. I ended up booking another cruise while onboard. I don't think we will be going on the date that I booked but I did get 10% off, a $100 shipboard credit, and only had to pay a 10% deposit instead of 20%. I think we won't be cruising till DS is at least 3-4.

Here are a few teaser pics (taken with my cell).. I have to DL the pics from my camera.

Sounds awesome...

Can't wait to hear more about the trip.

Very nice pics.

Awesome Video...

Isn't that how Steve Irwin died?

That was a sting ray. Like this one:

Very cool Ron... saved yourself some major repair shop labor charges.

Fixed.
Seriously, when we meet up in August you'd better not be sticking those extra U's where they don't belong.

Hi Guys!

So you made it home safely it appears....

Drats.... I tried to arrange for a full cavity body search at customs up exit...

‘Morning all…

Im the one in the grumpy 1937 shirt, bottom right.

Nice… especially your choice of high end apparel.
Hope you enjoyed the outing.

My “class” held its 30 year reunion a little while back.
I skipped all the ones before that, so it seemed only proper that I’d skip that one as well.

Those are emergency rafts.. in case you really didn't know.

That’s just what they want you to think.

Let the waiting begin. I know we have to take the 4 day at minimum. The 2 day was a major tease.

Longer is always better.
Let’s see just how long before someone (and more importantly… who) takes that set up line and runs with it.

Yesterday was worse though - we were just getting packed up and ready to head out and go to lunch and run some errands. A small coolant drip had turned into more of a coolant flow. Luckily, Autozone is only a block away, so I got some hose and just over an hour later we're on the road. And yes, if anyone remembers last summer's trip report, this is the same repair I had to do while sitting at my in-law's carport.

At least you ought to be good at it by now.
It might be time to replace those lines with something stronger (or replace the Minivan of Doom altogether… or is that just crazy talk)?

Tried?

So much for that alleged ability to actually control the universe.

Morning guys,

Still trying to adjust to home life and the jet lag. Had plans to get a lot of things done today but it is hard getting started.

Home from softball. Another crushing win, 15-2. This time, Charly did get a base hit, was hit in by team, and hit a sacrifice to score one of her teammates (although not intentional because she doesn't know what a sac is). Our semifinal game is Wednesday and Championship game Thursday. If we lose th semi-final game, since it is double eliminatin, then we would have to play again Wed night, and if we won that game, would play the same team from Wed night and beat them twice on Thursday.

Congrats to the kids. Hoping for a sweep.

Wow I love that video. Was that with a G12? That was something. Where did you do that night dive at? I might just have to watch it a few more times.

:

Thanks. That was with the G12. Stills are good but I think the video mode is better. I'll have to look at my log for the dive site but it is in Kona, Hawaii. Still downloading stuff from the trip and will post more on the TR.

Very cool Tim. Looks like a great time. Interested in seeing everything in the TR. Oh wait, never mind.

Awesome Video...

Nope. These monsters don't have barbs. They are filter feeders and eat things like plankton, krill and algae. Pretty harmless. That is unless if one rams you by mistake.

When it comes to border security, even as controller of the universe you are still quite limited.

Not only didn't they do a full cavity search - they let me back through to the states with 5 bottles of liquor!!! And I didn't have to pay a duty!

Hard to pass up a duty free shop with 2 for $60 Glenlevit, and 3 for $39 Absolute!

Well can't wait. I just have small fear of the ocean though. Especially when on the news this morning two guys jump off their boat to dive, but as soon as they did there was a great white swimming right towards them, then it kept swimming between them and the boats as if it wouldn't let them leave. They had to keep poking it with spears to get it to go away!

Can't wait to see this report.

Good morning everyone!

So it's kinda funny....

My DW seems to be really getting into meeting up with you DisDads like we've been doing...

So she asks me on the way home yesterday from the Great White North..."who else lives nearby we can meet up with???"

She is welcome back anytime, and have her bring the girls...

You can stay home though.

Exactuly.

Its' not how deep you fish, it's how you wiggle the worm. Or so I've heard.

At least you ought to be good at it by now.

It was actually on one of the connections that I was never able to get right when we were down there. Now that I had my own tools I could do a better job. Bambi asked if it was time to get ride of it as well. When I can fix it for $20 vs paying $20,000 for different vehicle? Still a no-brainier in my book.

Where did you smuggle those things?

They look wonderful! Did you use the invisible film camera?

Is she offering free trips to CP as a reward?

She is welcome back anytime, and have her bring the girls...

My US camera must not like to take pictures of Canadian things.

And… there it is.
Meer minutes.

Believe it or not… I’ll buy that explanation.

As for the multiplier of 1000 being a good deterrent for Van-of-Doom replacement…
I’ll buy that one as well. My newest vehicle is nine years old. The others are thirteen and fourteen (and I ain’t planning on replacing any of ‘em any time soon).

Where did you smuggle those things?

If you consume them prior to bringing them across the border it doesn’t actually constitute an act of smuggling.

Here's a couple of pics from Wonderland...

Dang… nouthing but red-“X”s.
Figures… I can see nearly any other type of sharing site, but they choose to block Dropbox?

Awww Beverly.
