DIS Dads DDC XXIX: We’re Over 750 Dads, With A Disney Problem!

[AirGoofy]

. And yesterday we met my folks at the State Fair to get the kids back. Temp at the fair was 95. We've never seen the place so empty. Yes it was hot but with so few people there were plenty of open park benches in the shade and no line for food vendors. The kids did fantastic. We went nice and slow with tons of water breaks. Every potty break we also refilled water bottles. Only thing I would change is have an extra pair of shoes for each kid. My mom packed the park bag and did not add a second pair of shoes for the kids. DS got a blister early and went through about 5 band aids. We're worried how DD will do on dark and noisy rides. so we had her ride on Ye Old Mill (Tunnel of Love). once we got her in the seat we had no worries.

You survived the state fair. I know it had to be in the summer, but those things are just really hot.

I just got some pretty cool news (not Disney Related...that's the coolest news there is)

I just found out I'm a finalist for consideration for a show called Elite Tactical Unit on the Outdoor Channel.
)

That sounds cool. Maybe you wear a disdad sticker or something.

My FIL was talking about going deep sea fishing this Friday. I found out that not only did he book the trip for us but got a Charter instead of us going on a Head Boat.

That sounds cool. Do you get to shoot at the fish or blow them up?

All 6 of the troops?

And penguins.

The actor is dead at any rate.

Yeah, no sequels or reunion shows planned

Basically it takes 20 SWAT types from all over the country, divides you into two teams with an advisor and you compete until one is left standing.

The competition includes individual and team competitions with eliminations...

They're filming the next season now, so it would be the following season. A lot will depend on my schedule between now and then, and I still have a few hoops to clear that I can't do anything about, but I qualified with no problem...


Now I gotta' go learn how to shoot a DA/SA pistol again since I carry a Glock and the show is sponsored by Sig Sauer...though I've taught and trained at Sig Sauer Academy and I'm a Sig Armorer so I'm familiar with the system (I also carry a Sig 220 at times)

Sounds good. I flip by that channel every once and a while but have never found anything on. I will have to watch more carefully now.

Had to go get youngest dd from school for dr appointment, so she didn't have time to ride bus home. DW told me to get to school 30 minutes early because of the car rider line. I thought that was extreme, but got there 20 minutes early. There was already a line of 25 cars, and 5 more behind me, it double filed with more than 40 in each line to the road.

Does no one take the bus anymore?

Sounds like MILES gear and yes, I'm always referring to live rounds.

Not after all those beat down videos that have been popping up on the news. More likely it's because they have after school activities to get to...

It wasn't MILES it was something else....I gotta go look now...LOL

Yeah I kind a figured....but no live rounds at each other LOL

Pretty Cool! Good Luck.

What we really want to know is will you wear a DisDads shirt while filming?

You go on TV, you wear a DISDads shirt! Man Law!

Between this and the NFL, I think I'm gonna have to get cable again.

Well that's new. The other site is blocked here at work. I was just in it the other day. I think someone in IT is just looking at my browser history to see what to disallow.

I think I'm supposed to say "RUBBER DUCKY" or something like that.

That's awesome coming from a Sox fan.

I believe it's pronounced "Sawx".

Excellent! Let us know how that turns out.
We may have to start up a pool to determine how many of the opposition you take out on any given episode.

Of course you have to root for her team. After all, a lot of your money is going there anyway.

And in case anyone forgot....

T-MINUS 28 HOURS AND 27 MINUTES TILL KICKOFF!

Yea as long as I am "donating" need to follow the UTC teams - we are going down in a couple of weeks to catch a game with a weekend roadtrip.

For the same reasons I now finally have a team to support as well. They won’t be going to any bowl games, but I can live with that. There is a built in rivalry opportunity here though as both WCU and Chattanooga are in the same conference.

Congrats to Fed. I find the concept of last one standing sort of interesting. Does this include force on force live fire competitions?

I could see that being a marketing and advertising bonanza in this day and age.
Wouldn’t want to be one of the contenders though.

Thanks for the plug, Koko Head!

You’re welcome there ya’ rubber ducky…

That's awesome, good luck!!!

Thanks Paul, my day is going well so far. Hope yours is doing the same.

Not bad, thanks. Getting over a cold, so that sucks, but the work day hasn't been too stressful which is incredibly rare.

That's awesome coming from a Sox fan.

Always amazes me the inability NY fans have to tell whether someone is laughing with them, or AT them.

I believe it's pronounced "Sawx".

So we're spelling phonetically now? Someone tell Dave.

 

[Twin Dad]

Note to DW. When buying Xmas presents for the kids online, have them shipped to someone else.

Who'd a thunk? I totally missed that when the posts about taking the kids to school. WCU at UTC Saturday Oct 5

Shhhh, that is the patented trademark of zerfonics.

Note to DW. When buying Xmas presents for the kids online, have them shipped to someone else. :

Or, that was the plan all along. Now you just have to buy more Christmas presents. Kind of like Ron's DW's dress purchase or every other woman shopping ........

This is elementary school, and remember, our summer crime wave was 25 stolen bicycles.

Contingent second - wear DisDads something. The wardrobe malfunction department may not let him wear the shirt, but maybe sneak by with something else.

That will work. A crew to take care of the bait and lines and all you have to do is have a beer until a fish is hooked. Have a great time.

Yea as long as I am "donating" need to follow the UTC teams - we are going down in a couple of weeks to catch a game with a weekend roadtrip. Thanks for asking about DD - she is loving it and having no problems with class or workload so far. We are lucky as she has her act together so we weren't too worried and hearing some of the horror stories from other parents about their freshmen early on we are even more proud of DD.

Good for her.

This could be fun. I believe a wager is in order. Then some trash talking. Finally the gloating by the winner.

Morning Guys,

Decided to take the day off to spend with Declan. I have been away a lot this summer and he goes back to school on Tuesday so I think some Dad-Son time is in order. I think we are going to try some foot golf.

Oh and Happy Hump Day.

What a great dad!!!!
