Good Morning!

Welcome Back Brian!

 

[AirGoofy]

I have made a new Year's resolution. No, it is not to train for the TOT 10K. It is to take a week vacation every other month. I have Feb, April, Oct, & Dec reserved. I'll get June & Aug later once my schedule is out.

Today starts my Feb vacation/staycation.

Evening guys!

I know I havent been around much, between work and life I've been pretty swamped. Most of you guys know already, but we are in the process of refinancing the house, as well as pulling some money out of equity to pay off some bills. We had a short notice on the home inspection (VA Loan), she called Thursday afternoon telling us she would be over Friday afternoon to look around.
Seems like everything went well with that, as well as the termite inspection. No little bugs found! Hope are high that this will finish up soon, as it will enable us to free us about 800$ a month.

That is a lot to free up a month. Congrats.

Chilling out today, aside from building a table. Watched Iron Man 2, now have Captain America on, might pop in Thor next..

Sounds fun. I watched nba all star game, which like those movies has lots of action and numerous moments called playing defense.

Not making excuses for my absence. Reparations must be made.

• I have started a tab at Aloha Isle for all visiting DIS Dads to the MK.
• I have also provided you all with a free membership to the bacon of the month club. If you don't receive your fist shipment of bacon by March 1st, let me know and I'll have a word with my logistics manager, who also happens to be my 5 year old DD.

?

Summary:
Bunch of WDW trips.
Bacon references.

Morning Guys.

Schools all closed here today. I wish I had closed the office but my employees all made it here so I guess I needed to come in as well.


Following Scott's lead, Ticker Check.

Freeking cold. Temp is 28 with a feels like 15. Why do people live up here?

I got a call from Fed this weekend asking the same question. Maybe I should let Andy answer him...

That Florida weather has made you soft...

Deepest apologies for my lack of posting. I've been off the DIS for about a month. Things have been hectic on all fronts (not to mention a serious bout of depression and nervous breakdown after the Baltimore ravens won the SB.)

Okay, groveling complete, sacrifices made...
Now, who can tell me in 5 bullet points or less what I may have missed over the past month?

I'm glad you understand how to make amends with the group. As far as what you missed, it was mostly a month's worth of fart jokes.

We are boarding the ship around 1:00 today...

Which means sadly I will be disconnected for about a week...

So can I request that in honor of me... No one posts anything until it get back.

I appreciate it guys!

Ummmmm.... guys.... REALLY!!!!!

I only had one request.... I am starting to see my value here...

 

[twokids0204]

Brian said we had to stop

Thank you David!

Just for that... Folks, please make your way over to this websight for valuable items, remember it's never to late for a custom made valentines day bracelet.

 

[twokids0204]

Finally picked up an iphone today, posting count can only increase..

Nice Brent... Look at you going all 2008 on us!!!

 

[twokids0204]

brian who?

 

[twokids0204]

I went into the back yard and do you know what I saw?

My DS was building an igloo.

I think the penguins brain washed him and he thinks he's Canadian. NOOooooooooooo!

A survivalist...

next thing he will be wearing a leafs jersey.

GO LEAFS GO!!!!


Couldn't find any hockey on the ship... (have to admit, I didn't look that hard...)

 

[declansdad]

Did you go somewhere Brian?

 

[twokids0204]

I would have died if it wasn't for my neighbors that came over with their snow blowers.

Nice pics tim... Thanks for sharing.

Our storm was pretty bad here too... we had about 2 feet.

I had to drive out of Toronto in that storm.

But on Thursday I got a sunburn on the beach in Nassau.

Some pics from yesterday and today.

The Pirate Princess Pirate and the SH Pirate

The funny thing is - Crash appears to be in an unzipped light fleece jacket. Yet I have a feeling the guy holding the camera was in long underwear, snow pants, ski gloves, 3 sweatshirts, 2 jackets, a stocking cap and scarf. And somehow he stopped shivv-ve-ve-ve-ve-ering long enough to hold the camera steady for a picture.

Well, SW backed up their OT win this morning with their best performance if the season tonight for a 20 point win that was never in doubt. Enjoyed a pep session after the other team cleared out and next week its the semi state round for their second year in a row. Hopefully they can get over that final four hump this time and make it to the state finals.

And DW has done an excellent job coaching the cheerleaders.

The best news... Next Saturday is our fifth anniversary, so now I don't have to make plans...

 

[twokids0204]

when I was a teenager we took full advantage of the snow making a ton of cash shoveling,

Did that here too, every winter.

Freeking cold. Temp is 28 with a feels like 15. Why do people live up here?

Because we know how to dress in layers

Weren't you NY boy for a while CJ? did you forget what it was like?

Looks like his blood got thinned out.

Here that Guys, CJ is inviting us all to come live with him.

That Florida weather has made you soft...

Yep.

cold this is swimming weather

Ummmmmmmmmm. No. Congrats on taking the plunge.

WAAAAHHHHHHH!


We live here to experience seasons and not die in ungodly heat for 8 months out of the year.




LOL

Exactly, I love watching the leaves change colors and the flowers bloom in spring and the bikinis come out in the summer.

 

[twokids0204]

Ok guys - I need your help.....

I've been tasked with coming up with some T-shirt designs for our day trip to MK in 6 weeks.

They're thinking some kind of name design on the front....and maybe another design that I could print on a whole sheet for the back - somehow incorporating all of our name designs.

I know some of you are good with graphics....anyone willing to help a guy out??

I've checked out the DISsigners section, and there's so much there - I'm kind getting overwhelmed!

Any help would be appreciated!

I'd love to help ya but I goto the DISigners board when I need something.

I also got lot's from the DISigner boards in 2011... lots to choose from, and they are pretty good at customizing within 24 hours of your request.

Can be overwhelming there, but you don't have to search everything, just peruse quickly 'till something catches your eyes.

 

[twokids0204]

Well, my Canadian friends, I may have spoken too soon about us being up that way. We were thinking of taking a little Spring Break trip up to see Niagara Falls with a Toronto detour later this spring. But I may need to hold onto that cash, because...

Our wait list came through, and we'll be able to stay at Aulani this summer! Now I just have to pay for it.

I haven't told my wife yet. Her birthday is next month, so I think I'm going to make it a surprise for her then.

Sounds awesome... enjoy Aulani...

However can I make a suggestion for your Canada trip (Canadian's back me up here)....

I would flip flop your itinerary and do a TORONTO trip, with a short detour to Niagara Falls. Price wise there would be little difference (from food and lodging perspective)

There is SO much to do in Toronto, you could easily fill a week or two (I recommend as a start check out citypass.com for the Toronto City Pass).

Niagara Falls however, you can see thew majority in 2 days (depending on what you want to see).

If you have any questions, or want some suggestions just ask, or text, e-mail, or call me... (PM me if you want my number).

Thanks Brian - when you catch up over in the Pub, you'll see what I ended up with.
