Bummer of a game last night. Not many chances for the 'hawks.

Fixed your schedule for you..

Good morning gents!
First, my bad on this, happy belated birthday Randall pixiedust:

Well even though I pretty much saw it coming, my Blackhawks did not help with the pre-kickoff of vacation. Gotta to get through today at the office and then pack the luggage tonight. Got stuff laid out first to make sure we have all needs covered and then we will pack kinda separate - 2 days at WDW and then rest of stuff for the Fantasy cruise. Head down tomorrow a.m. and will likely be off the board after today as web access at sea is basically nonexsitent / expensive. I am going back and forth on this, but likely not going to bring the laptop for the first time on a vacation trip. Here's game plan for trip:
6/6 - Arrive BLT hang out- watch hockey
6/7 - MK all day - Dinner @ BOG
6/8 - Sail Away - watch hockey
6/9 - Sea Day
6/10 - Grand Cayman & snorkeling - watch hockey if necessary
6/11 - Play Mia - Hang out
6/12 - Cozumel - Beach & Waterpark Resort - watch hockey if necessary
6/13 - Sea Day
6/14 - Castaway Cay and private Cabana
6/15 - Damn, back to reality

All take care over the next week, be safe & enjoy your families :)
 
Dinner was great, we went to the Texas Road House. I had a very nice ribeye. We went early so we could get to my DGD1 band concert. nothing like listening to a grade school band.

Got home last night and needed to use the bathroom. Jodi follows me in, which I think is weird until I turn on the light. Jodi had spent the day doing a Mickey Mouse make over in my bathroom. Mickey rug, towels and shower curtain. She also framed all the artwork we got from watching those DVC web shows and the thank you art we got for staying at WDW and put them up. I felt like I was at Dave's house! :lmao:

My Bathroom Gone Disney!

(pictures to follow)

Sounds awesome. It would never fly in my house, but good for you. I only control the landscaping at my house and have been thinking of doing my interpretation of the floral Mickey at the front of MK.
 
Next week my vacation starts. On Sunday 6/16 is my first day in the Magic Kingdom in 13 years!

Also, the first time with my daughters.

You're gonna have an awesome time. When I brought my kids for the first time and had an 8-year gap in my Disney career we had a blast.

That sounds pretty awesome as well.:thumbsup2
 
‘Morning all…

Had to get the upstairs AC unit repaired yesterday. :headache:
The wallet is still in suffering some pretty severe pain... :headache:
but I did sleep much better last night.


Duly noted…
May that not continue.


Woohoo Wednesday! Two days until departure for 8 days in the world!

Matt

Cool! :cool1:
I got’s just a bit longer to wait, but not much longer. :goodvibes


Morning all....Crashed before 9 last night and got a fair amount of sleep. It seems like the cough is lessening a bit, wasn't a factor last night. Is going a bit this morning, but having less-intense fits, and less of them. :thumbsup2

Good to hear…
a constant hack get old very quickly :sick:

Sounds like a very fine evening was had.
Waiting on the pictures.

There will be a good number of members down there next week.
Keep an eye out for grizzled old guys wearing DisDad shirts.
It may well be someone you now know.

We did the DCL Western aboard the Magic back in 2009.
Much fun had… much fun.
Enjoy the cruise.
(wish I was going along)

So how does one purchase a DisDad shirt? And how fast does it come?

Or is someone pulling my leg about a shirt to display my allegiance?

I am here for a medical trade show and on the look out for who makes the best hip, knee and shoulder replacements for all of us we get older, lmao
 
Afternoon Gents.

Been a busy day so far; interviewing students for an 8 week summer position and just got my new laptop setup. Now I have to remember all my passwords.

We’ve put together a couple of orders in the past for a couple of different styles, but I don’t think that there are any sitting in inventory anywhere right now. The most current rendition was a Dri-Fit shirt that was ordered up about a month or so ago on our other home site: DisDads.com

They may look into doing another pre-order of them sometime in the near future though.
You can check out what was offered in the “SWAG” section of the site

Some other knicks-n-knacks can be found here…

What type of unit? I have one of those portable units (ported thru window). It works great on my 350 square foot upstairs.

We are everywhere. On the first page, you can pick your team allegiance and go to the FB group and click here for the pub. You should be able to navigate over there and find it.

I have three of those lithographs. I hope to decorate my current or next house in all Disney work.

Also, the first time with my daughters.

Congrats and have fun.

This was the central heat/ac for the entire upstairs.
Our house has two separate systems and both have a bit of age on them now.
The repair was a might painful but replacing the entire unit would have been catastrophic.

Good woman you got there Randall... :thumbsup2
 
Thanks and how about your Bruins. I don't think anyone saw those 2 games coming - congrats to ya sir.

Thanks. Thought they might be able to steal one at Pitt, but never thought it would be both games. If they can do it tonight series is over. If any team has the fire power to come back from 0-2 it's them.


Drop the strawberries or find some you forgot to pick?

Somebody is having a trade show in Warsaw??? :crazy2: Is it at the old Ramada?

I was worried about that. It was actually at Grace College. Most of the companies there already supply all the big orthopedic companies. I ran into some old contacts so it was not a total waste.

I did see a picture of Rick Fox. They had a little display of famous folks from Warsaw. It was him (he only played a year or two there I think) and Jeff Grose, Mr. Basketball 1985 :thumbsup2
 
Nice Randall! We have the same shower curtain but it isn't as shiny and new as yours.
 
As promised!
Very cool Randall.


I just have to post this.
