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

[fgtriot]

So I've spent the last week pondering what prolific thing I should say for my 100th post and keep coming up blank. It seriously has me questioning my awesomeness. I guess the fact that I'm typing this as my first post from the new phone app adds to the specialness.

Good Sunday morning Gents.

Checking in from the in-laws house this morning. No power at the house since the wind storms hit Friday night and with the temps around 100, we decided to take a break in to the Air Conditioned comforts for the day. I will head back home this afternoon. Hopefully, we'll get some relief from the high temps soon.

AEP is saying now that the power may not be restored to our area until end of the week. Looks like they are concentrating their efforts to the Northern VA areas.

Did a bit of running around town yesterday to get a few supplies. The better part of the area is without power. Gas stations were in one of three categories: those without power, those with power and a 20-30 minute wait to get gas, and those that were sold out. Camping supplies were stripped off the shelves and no ice available. Luckily, in-laws have a big ice maker and I plan to take all I can get before I head home.

We lost a few big trees. I had to cut one large branch up to get it off the driveway yesterday and then cut a tree off of the neighbor's car. Too hot to do much more than that right now. DD16's car was damaged by a branch that fell on it and busted out the windshield and back window and put some dents in the roof. She was pretty upset about it but quickly realized that it really wasn't that big a deal and that it can be fixed. Luckily, there was no damage to the house.

Hope other dads fared well through the storms and are able to keep cool. I'll check in when I can but won't have internet access until the power is back. Not sure if I'll even be able to go to work this week if the power is still out there.

Great thing about being at the in-laws house is that they like to cook breakfast when we are all here. The smell of Bacon is in the air!

Have a great day guys!

Wow Mike, that sucks.

Hope the power comes back up quick...

[declansdad]

When you say Good Evening All.... does that include the varmints?

There was a some multi-quoting.

Like the time I explained, how Multi-quoting still increase post counts.

Yes it does.

Take care.

We heard there were some power outages. I hope they are able To get it back and running soon.

I think I was pondering the same thing for #100, well at least I think I remember that.

Congrats on #100!

Sounds good.

Had fun at July 4th party with no fireworks. Drank lots of beer (Landshark and Red Stripe) listened to great music, had great food (fried chicken, mac n cheese) and dessert (cake). Have a good evening all.

Sounds like a lot of fun...

It was a lot of fun until this morning. I was able to keep drinking pace with some young 30 year olds. Fortunately, they were skinny 30 year olds, so while one was ripped, I had a slight buzz. I am paying for it this morning.

 

[DisDadDoc]

Morning guys! Off for a week of camp with my boys. Have a great week guys! Will check in on FB

 

[AirGoofy]

Sunday hangover ownage (but not as bad as the movie)

Morning guys! Off for a week of camp with my boys. Have a great week guys! Will check in on FB

Have a great trip. Hope you stay cool outside.

So, I read thru th Victoria & Albert's thread and am excited. The food sounds great and they serve wine with each course. Although, I doubt they serve wine with th coffee. The price is super high, even for just the cheaper route in th main dining room. I would have to wear pants and coat, but no tie. I've been trying to talk DW into it without much luck. She'll give the half-hearted ok, book it statement, but I can decipher the code that means do it and you'll really pay later. She said we could for our 15th anniversary which is 3 years away. Grrr.

 

[SAHDad]

Morning guys,
Need to read through the backlog, and post (blatant post count padding!), but we are at the in-laws for a while - planned vacation, thankfully.

Stay cool, everyone. It's still warm in my area of the midwest - thank heavens for AC and cool beers (though not in that order).

 

[afwdwfan]

So,I take it from the beer induced spam fest this weekend that the heat kept everyone inside to enjoy the AC.


Norm, traffic at Kentucky was smooth this year, but there were a lot odd empty seats too.

I was talking to DW about this same thing last night. Next year is 20 years, but she doesn't seem to interested in eating there.

I read about it the paper and that was what was reported. Good to hear. I had planned on buying tickets this year. But, June 28 is daughter's birthday and she didn't want to go. Add on softball season, and the result was we didn't go. Maybe next year. I try to get her to watch sports with me for the enjoyment and to see what I teach her, but she is not interested. She would rather watch one of the 100 Disney movies she has. I wonder who got her into those?

Maybe you and I can coordinate our trips and we can go and leave our DWs and children to fend for themselves.

Have a good game.

Thanks. I actually did have a pretty good game. Drank an entire gallon of water, plus a little bit of a second bottle I brought. Now I'm running to the bathroom every 15 minutes.

DW and I ate there once. It still ranks as one of the greatest meals I've ever eaten. We did not do the wine pairing though. We did order a couple of glasses a la carte. There wasn't a single thing they put in front of me that I didn't enjoy. Quail stuffed with sorreno ham and gruyere cheese was off the charts. I would love to do it again some day.

I saw a lot of beer... must have missed the spam. what page was the spam on???

A double homicide was committed on our property sometime last night. Made the discovery this morning as I was picking up used fireworks off our lawn. Just sitting there along the fence were two half-finished Coronas. Poor guys.

setting up for our family theme night... Toy Story 2. looking forward to enjoying our LGMs. (Lime Green Milkshakes)
