DIS Dads DDC XXII - End of Summer Bash

[RodBelding]

Hey Guys.

Quick weekend Sept 28 to oct 1st

Did Tink last January, doing ToT and Wine and fine this year. Talk of marathon and princess as well as Disneyland half in the next 2-3 years

DW and I will be there, running the ToT as well. Could do a meet there if we can find each other.

Something to keep in mind is at RunDisney events from what I can gather the corrals are populated by when you register, the sooner you register the more of a padding you will have on that 16 min mile. The click on the pace doesn't start till the last corral leaves the finish line. Another thing is the pace from what I gather is more friendly at WDW since the race is on property. So register early and train, you can do it.

The corrals are set by your estimated pace, not by when you register. They do that in order to make sure you don't have people running over each-other the whole way (if faster runners started after slower runners it could create messes all over the place). If you're really looking to get padding on that 16 min pace, try running some shorter races that you can use as a proof of time (most Disney Races require this to get into a higher corral). I think anything over 6 miles is good enough for them.

Good luck!

It appears as though the honey do list is growing as we speak and new "ideas" for other projects keep coming from swmbo! She has now informed me that she would like to have new carpet in the family room and also new furniture.....what happened to just slapping a coat of pain on things???

Wow Steve....I think you had a freudian slip there....

Up in Carlisle (north-east part of ma). Not related to a Ray, but RodBelding isn't my name, just a handle in honor of the greatest character of my television watching youth...

Watched Travel Channels Top 10 Coasters last night...

Both Sea World Coasters made the cut. Nothing from WDW, DL, or Universal.

2 Dollywood coasters made the show... but not the list... they had a short segment about how they film the Coasters from all different angles and locations. and used Dollywood's Thunderhead and Wild Eagle as the examples.


BTW Travel Channels HQ is in nearby Knoxville.

A wish for all the DisDads to have a great Labor Day weekend! (Do they celebrate that in Canada)

Yep....it's even more well-deserved because we have to add the extra "u" to Labour Day

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

Got the girls dropped off to their Day Camp...they got invited for a free "End-Of-Summer" Party, which gives me a day off to myself, which I haven;t had all summer. I think a nap is in order.

Morning all. Still no resolution to our labor situation. Deadline is tomorrow night. Wish I could say more but it will be an intersting weekend. Tomorrow we will be having a birthday party for my younger DD who turns 2 on Monday. I have 2 more fantasy football drafts on schedule for Sunday. Sure hope I don't get locked in tomorrow night.

Freudian or not…
It was well said. Well said indeed.

It ain’t that y’all have to add the extra “u”…
It’s just that we’re ornery enough to ignore the blasted thing.

Besides, we were just a bit more ticked off at Mother England at the time then you were.

Ahhhh….
There are times when a nap can be a fine thing.

She did just get a promotion... Didn't she?

There goes the extra vacation.

Best of luck with it. Hope it gets resolved quickly for you.

Ah! Makes sense to me know. Should have probably thought of that. Well, if you were related to Ray, he's a great guy!

Kids go back to school next week. Maybe we could find a time to have lunch or dinner and meet up sometime. Always good to make some new friends with similar interests.

Happy Birthday to your Daughter! Two is a fun age. That is when they start thier diabolical plan to take over the world. Hope the party goes well. (Where's Perry?)

Already done 3 drafts, 1 left on Tuesday night. Good thing we didn't wait until the last minute.

Man, I know the feeling. Last contract was resolved around 11:20pm the night before we were to go on strike. I expect the same next year.

Hope you don't stress too much over it, and I really hope it gets resolved before then.

And to you as well. Always enjoyed book time with the dds.

Stop it before it stops. Strike!

Have You Voted?

I always thought his first name was "Mr.".

Friday morning ownage

Good morning everyone, I always enjoy waking up and checking out the boards, I'm surprised I slept through the night, haven't done that in awhile, I hope everyone has a great Friday and an even better labor day weekend

Better to yell at coworkers than dd. Keep up good work.

Morning Guys!

Happy its finally Friday! Also happy to be off the road for a few days. Anytime I go to corporate I feel like I'm wasting my time. Go figure.

Sounds painful.

And a happy anniversary to you sir.

So… only three years have been happy, or it only seems like three years rather then 12?
Regardless of the answer, bourbon is always a fine plan.
.

Thanks. Ambiguous just in case someone reads it.

 

[AirGoofy]

Didn't realize you had so much free time on your hands. You might want to look into some kind of hobby...

Have any in mind? My favorite two of eating and drinking aren't making me any money, but have made me fat.

Also I'm officially jealous of AjRitz, googled disdads and a pic of him with Katy perry, lucky dog

He couldn't post the other pictures. But, you should have heard the stories .....
